the ginobili resurgence is crazy. it really looked like he should've hang it after the heat finals loss, but he was their best player according to many advanced the next year and had a couple seasons more left in the tank

the distance between the top 5 guy and the top 10 guy is very short compared to the difference between the top 5 and the goat.

so saying you're not impressed by a guy that makes the top 10 is really confusing.

streaky and trigger happy guards who cannot defend or playmake don't usually have long careers in the league

hyland became a fan favourite because shot a lot from long range at a decent percentage (while still being a horrible shot unless you can take advantage of it to open up other areas of your game) and because fans tend to think defence is an effort thing (when it is very unlikely a very bad defender turns to a good defender with time)

the spurs ball movement in the 00s was atrocious, even for the league standards. 10s spurs was ahead of everyone else and that influenced this perception.

there's a way to plan the schedule so it wouldn't affect it, but the nba has always prioritised other things over a fair strength of schedule

Cole Anthony has come a long way since that meme-worthy dunk contest, love to see it

the only one that can be mad about this is Giannis, everyone else is a tier below

[–] lialialia20@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

both games today were the final score difference was the same as the points scored from technical fouls

 

the NBA video rule book gives examples of taunting, all of them are as mild as Giannis' second technical. the rules state: ***"***The taunting of opponents is never permitted, and actions of this nature are penalized immediately.“

Clapping taunt

“This is an example of a Technical Foul for unsportsmanlike conduct for taunting. Following the defensive foul by Otto Porter Jr., the offensive player, Grayson Allen, turns towards him, and claps directly at him in a taunting manner. The taunting of opponents is never permitted, and actions of this nature are to be penalized immediately.”

Yelling taunt

“This is an example of a Technical Foul for unsportsmanlike conduct for taunting. Following his successful dunk, the offensive player, Jarrett Culver, turns towards the defensive player, Robin Lopez, and he yells at him repeatedly in a taunting manner. The taunting of opponents is never permitted, and actions of this nature are penalized immediately.”

Nodding taunt

“This is an example of a Technical Foul for unsportsmanlike conduct for taunting. Following his successful dunk, the offensive player, Kelly Oubre Jr., turns towards the defensive player, Julius Randle, and he nods and flexes at him in a taunting manner. The taunting of opponents is never permitted, and actions of this nature are penalized immediately.”

Placing ball taunt

“This is an example of a Technical Foul for unsportsmanlike conduct for taunting. Following the foul call, the defensive player, Bobby Portis, places the ball on the chest of the prone offensive player, Isaac Bonga, in a taunting manner. The taunting of opponents is never permitted, and actions of this nature are penalized immediately. “

why doesn't boban play?

 

According to the new rules: Reactions to contact that are deemed secondary, excessive, and theatrical will be deemed as flops.

the classic "and one" yell is definitely secondary, and arguably excessive and theatrical, depending on your views.
