I understand it's necessary not to blow the whistle on every single call for game flow purposes, so I'm not complianing, just making observations.


3 Seconds is probably the the most obvious one. I swear the opposing team gotta complain before this is called. You might see a big camped in the lane for like 5 seconds, then somebody on the other team or from the coaching staff will yell 3 seonds :gucci:Then a second later the ref will blow the whistle :dead:

Lane Violation: The offensive holding of the NBA. Probably happens damn near every free throw attempt.

There is a rule that you have a certain amount of time to shoot a free throw. I think it's 10 seconds. It rarely gets called. Karl Malone was notorious for this. I remember seeing it called on him a few times when I was growing up. I haven't seen this called in years.


Illegal screen: Gets called all the time, but could be called much more.

Traveling: Its the NBA. What you expect:yeshrug:

Traveling is easily the first thing that comes to mind. Dudes be on a fast break and go from hoop to hoop with like 4 dribbles in between.

I knew the NBA was rigged when Lebron finally got called for a travel in the finals last year when he's been traveling his whole career

Push-offs & Carrying

I'm a Kyrie fan...handles is crazy...but if you watch a lot of his clips...he pushes off like a MFer as he blows by ppl or hits the lane...:francis: He certainly isn't the only one. Carrying definitely doesn't get enforced like it once did. Cats like AI, Francis, and Marbury would've been eatin players alive if they were playing in the NBA today. They were shuttin their handles down back then. A lot of that might've had to do with the popularity of And 1 back then tho and cacs not wantin that style of play to infiltrate the game...:manny:
