The New NBA Rules Are No Flop: Unchecked

It’s fitting that the Knicks and Bulls play a big game tonight, because the way the NBA is now being officiated is restoring some of that 90s feeling, and it’s a breath of fresh air for what is a beautiful sport with a league as talented as it has ever been.

I gotta be honest as someone who loves hoops, some of the whistles on jumpshots, collisions initiated by the offensive player and non basketball acts were making me sick.

It was the single worst thing about the game. So, to see that garbage no longer being called, is exhilarating. And I’d rather bad no-calls force players to adapt to contact than flailing and twerking being rewarded with a trip to the line.
