I know the story was about defensive three-seconds, but Andre Drummond had a solid seven-seconder on the offensive end earlier this season: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnXBqrXgz9k

Coincidentally, it was the best post move I've ever seen him pull off.

It's amazing that the NBA is the only professional basketball league in the world that needs a defensive 3 seconds rule in order for its players to look somewhat competent on offense.

The NBA would be much better off without having guys like Cuban as owners.

If they call everything by the rulebook, we'd have stoppage every min.

They're good with defensive 3. Offensive 3 is NEVER called. It happens at least 20 times every game.

Then maybe people would stop doing it? It's not a 50/50 call like block/charge or verticality. It's as if out of bounds was allowed or 24 second shot clock was only a "rough guess" instead of a buzzer.

I can't wait until the refs and players are replaced with robots.

You realize that the rule is only a little over a decade old right?

Should I give you the offensive numbers in the NBA before and after 2002/2003 or could you just go ahead and admit that you're full of shit?

There is a fine line between criticism and a misrepresented account; we're seeing the latter with Mark Cuban here, and he either needs to bite his tongue or phrase his discontentment more properly. Not that I advocate unconditional political correctitude
