Now certain players are gonna jockey for position to get a free shot at a hero ball in the last 24 seconds :snoop:

Hope this doesn't make it to the real league.
as opposed to them holding onto the ball to save their FG%?


yall's logic doesn't make sense from a fan standpoint, you had the best players avoiding taking that shot for ages and now they have no reason to, how is that a bad thing?


and did you read the rules? :what: the shot has to go up with 3 seconds or less, and the play has to start in the backcourt, what are you talking about 24 seconds???? teams already plan possessions based on the shot clock when the time's running low, if it's a close game it's gonna be in the best players hands regardless to take that shot

It's sad that Silver has to make such a rule to get more half court shots. It should be a no brainer here, if you as a player have a second left or whatever, then shoot the ball. You play to win, not for Hollinger's stats or whatever.

So if it goes in , it should be a team shot but it looks like it won't. That's a soft rule

Imagine QBs didn't get incompletes or INT on Hail Mary throws, but could get touchdowns?
1. A TD is of a lot higher value than a 3 pointer
2. How often do QBs throw those in the 3 first quarters?
3. A QB is the designated passer, he throws what? 30-40 passes per game. Ballers shoot on average 0-10 3 pointers. So for the ones shooting 0,1,2,3 it would statistically matter, whereas it would be negligible for a QB.

So it's a very weak comparison

Silver needs to be Luigi'd.
You want to murder a man because he wants stat padders to to stop stat padding and play to win :mjlol:

Can't take criticism of Silver seriously anymore.


This has about zero impact on the game.
