Hibbert is basically useless now , well more useless than he already is .... DPOY my ass

Don't forget he thought Gortat deserved it for his play against them

 

[mbewane]

Well if they enforce it as much as they enforce the anti-flopping "rules"...

 

[Higher Tech]

It's the same rule they've been using, they just put it in writing.

White players should be enforcing this in pick-up games this summer.

Not so much that as clarifying that the defensive player must remain facing the opponent. Verticality has always been a key component of legal defense, at every level of basketball.

I know, but it was never outlined in the rule book. There was never anything about it in writing so it was basically a judgement call. This is just them putting words to it, but it's the exact same thing they've been calling. The titles makes it seem like they've changed or rewritten something.

Isn't Hibbert just a smart competitor for exploiting this vercatility thing as much as possible? That's why its ok for Bron to flop, right?

Lol @ playing defense/contesting shots at the rim being considered "exploiting" anything

I guess that flagrant foul they gave lebron had something to do with this.. Hibbert was going a bit forward.. Plus exaggerated the contact
