Kevin Durant finally gets his NBA wish; NBA to count last second heaves as a team shot

[In The Zone '98]

HES STILL TRYING
TO CLEAN THIS BUFFOONERY UP

YOU HAVE 3 SECONDS
TO PASS OR DRIBBLE THE
BALL UP THE COURT AND
GET OFF A 36 FOOTER


​

Or...take a full court heave. 3/4 court heave

Like. What's wrong with you right now. Lol

 

[who_better_than_me]

A lot of players do. They didn't want to fukk up their FG percentage

Yep. Bron been in the league 20 years. You can probably count on one hand how many heaves he’s taken throughout his career

 

[Rigby.]

This has no material impact on your percentages

Low volume big men who have high FG%ages (Deandre Jordan last decade types). They’re the guys that you would probably have most likely to do a full court heave (rather than a half court). You think they want a play drawn up for them where they could have one, if not more, low %age misses in a game? Where they end up at 4/10 instead of 4/8 because they were the honorary chucker?

You only have 15% of the normal human being in terms of brain capacity but use that 15% and you can think of some scenarios where people would be averse to chucking. Many of these dudes, especially the ones who got %-based incentives, check their stats mid game. They don’t want a miss. You can think outside of “material impact” and still see that.

Good shyt. Forgetting the contract incentives these guys have over their performances, I'm definitely not taking a 5% shot that'll fukk up my FG%

The worst are when a player is already having a tough shooting night and then a couple of grenade/bailout shots and a heave make it look even worse than it actually was.

 

[Cladyclad]

bytch and moan over everything

I always felt that should not count on fg%

 

[stepbackj34spud]

This is bytch shyt. This commish is the worst.

 

[inndaskKy]

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

Hope this doesn't make it to the real league.

 

[Trojan 24]

LGBT Ball y'all

 

[Th3G3ntleman]

What an unatural gamified rule.

 

[Trojan 24]

Do y'all have any examples of these shooting percentage contract incentives? Or are y'all making shyt up?

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Soft.

 

[WTFisWallace?]

Pathetic & instills / enables softness.

If the shot goes in….it will then count towards the individual player’s stat line?

Ingraining all reward, no risk culture smh.

 

[Left.A1]

Flabby flatops mad again this is a great addition

 

[CHICAGO]
