Simply amazing how good shooters are today...

[Im Still Ballin]

The older eras could take some pointers. Open lanes are created today via shooting ability, not rulebooks

Simply an amazing time for basketball. The game has never been this pure.

Alonzo has no choice but to follow Dennis to above the FT line, as per stated in the Illegal Defense Rule schemes or he will enact an illegal defense violation, resulting in a reset of the 24 clock and subsequential FTs in done again

Don't start this again. You were chased out of your other thread trying this. There's more defensive 3 second violations called now then there were illegal d calls then, by far. And teams were playing out right, real zone back then.

[RoseCity07]

I don't even remember what illegal defense was it was so long ago.

I don't even remember what illegal defense was it was so long ago.
it was a loose rule.. basically you had to be within an arms length of a offensive player, if you got caught floating between two guys it should be called illegal D but it wasn't called anywhere near as much as it could have been..

What I've been trying to get through to this idiot. I keep providing him with the proof in the other thread he started, but it doesn't seem to be getting through. Guess I'll just have to keep trying :lol

And the league got rid of the rule because they realized how futile they had been in enforcing it and curtailing zone. So they added the caveat of the 3-sec lane rule and eliminated handchecking to increase scoring (especially on the perimeter, this was key to them desperately trying to manufacture the 'next Jordan') and improve the pace.

ACTUALLY the first hand-checking rule changes came in 1979-1980

Then it was addressed again in 1994-1995, as well as the three point line being shortened. This was all done to aid Jordan to further success

Yeah, really helped his batting average when those rule changes happened during his retirement and baseball career. :applause:

[Im Still Ballin]

The new rule changes, and new rule interpretations, involve more than a clampdown on the use of hands. Here is a guide to all the revisions, with occasional comments from Rod Thorn, the N.B.A.'s vice president of operations.

1. The 3-point line, which was 23 feet 9 inches at its farthest point, has been moved to 22 feet.

2. Hand-checking will be prohibited from the backcourt baseline to the opposite foul line.

The 3-point line shortening was a short-lived experiment by the league.

And handchecking was still allowed in the half court. They were trying to speed up the game by discouraging the full court pressure/handchecking that was common place during the 90s:

Prime Examples (:29-:40ish) (https://youtu.be/N9vFHYVXtRk?t=29s)

Didn't work, game became even more physical and pace and scoring continued to plummet during the mid-late 90s until the rule changes of the early 2000s and especially the summer of 205.

[Im Still Ballin]

A surprising short lived experiment that started and finished with Jordan

But whatever I guess?

Keyword "Idiot" Therein lies your problem :lol

[DonDadda59]

Jordan wasn't even in the league when they changed the rule you clown. :facepalm

The NBA was worried about defenses becoming too good, too physical, the pace and scoring plummeting, so they kept trying new methods to make the game more free-flowing, flashier, and faster-paced ala the pre Bad Boy Pistons 80s. They didn't get the formula right until completely getting rid of handchecking, instituting the 3-second rule, etc during the early-mid 2000s. Then like Magic, the pace, scoring (especially perimeter) started rising.

But it was because guys like Kobe, Iverson, Ray Allen, Steve Nash, etc who were all drafted in 1996 all of a sudden learned how to shoot right? :lol

F*cking idiot. Stop making these embarrassing threads.

It's really hard to compare across eras, due to how much evolution each players does every year. Once you factor in evolution x lane shading/play^2, then the difference really isn't as much as OP is suggesting.

Rule 10, Section VII Defensive Three-Second

b. Any defensive player, who is positioned in the 16-foot lane or the area extending 4 feet past the lane endline, must be actively guarding an opponent within three seconds. Actively guarding means being within arm’s length of an offensive player and in a guarding position.


You do realize that a man's arm is only 3 feet long right?... So defenders in the paint must stand right next to their man at all times, or the 3 seconds count begins and they must vacate the paint.. The paint is a massive 16 x 19 feet, so the armslength rule really hamstrings a defender's ability to protect the paint.

For example, a defender cannot stand under the rim while their man is on the block, 8 feet away and out of armslength.. Or, they cannot stand under the rim if their man is near the top of the paint by the FT line - the defender would have to vacate the paint in these scenarios, or any scenario where the defender isn't standing right next to his man and within armslength.

Also, the armslength language (http://www.nba.com/nba101/misunderstood_0708.html) is only specific to today's 3 seconds rule.. Previous era defenders could be quite far OUT of armslength of their man and still stay in the lane - specifically, defenders could stand anywhere inside the paint with no time restriction if their man was also inside the paint, or within 3 feet or either side, as stipulated in Rule 2b (http://nbahoopsonline.com/History/Leagues/NBA/Rules/Fouls.html) of the Illegal Defense Guidelines... Rule 2b coupled with the lack of spacing is why paint-camping (http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=10866902&postcount=134) was standard in previous eras.
