NBA to crack down on pregame handshake routines

[livindajetlife]

CISM

 

[Brehmington Steele]

a minute and a half seems reasonable

 

[CantStop]

Wade gotta made a decision of whether to not apply eyeshadow or mascara. Decisions, decisions...

 

[Lil' Kartwheel]

Making these players wear suits and not give flamboyant hand shakes makes all the white people buying tickets more comfortable. Yet NFL doesn't pull stuff like this with its players.

It's getting ridiculous when you don't know if shyt is legit or onion

 

[killacal]

Yall are dumb calling cism. Its about expanding money and this shyt doesn't look professional when you have grown men acting like a middle school basketball team. Add that to the fact that all that shyt they do is corny, and a ploy for more attention, I think its a good look.

Especially D wade who thinks hes the rock running around the 4 corners of the ring climbing the rungs and asking the crowd if they can smell it

The Miami Heat's Dwyane Wade is one of the league's most active players before tipoff, usually greeting fans on all four sides of the arena, doing pull-ups on the rim and having a series of handshake routines. He said he'll have to adjust to the new rules.

Next rule: No more high 5s on the way back to the bench for a time out or at the end of the quarter.

It's pretty far, but, I can understand the rule

Ppl come to see ball, not D-Wade runnin' all across the court

 

[Hunter S Trillson]

Next up: Celebrations following a game winning basket or free throws will be limited to a single, chaste fist pump and the players will have 10 seconds to vacate the court in a single file. Violators will have their basket rescinded and be levied with a $100,000 fine.

Stern stay

Simmons talks about this all the time. Damn near every offseason right around this time, the NBA introduces a new wrinkle, usually a policy (dress code, new ball etc.) that seems to have no purpose other than giving the league some pub in the media before the season starts.

Cism

Basically......

This is another one of those measures put it place to downplay the fact that the majority of the league is black.

Stern is well aware of the "Image problems" the league has and is constantly taking steps to fight against it.

 

[Big Boss]

let these boys cook

 

[boskey]

I remember when Reggie and the old Pacers would do a Michael Jackson routine before every game

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

i'd take this more serious if they'd instituted a rule against getting dap from everyone in the arena after your 1st free throw attempt

 

[Mac071415]

This must already be in effect. Last time I went to a game the them was taking a while and got a delay of game penalty.
