that was fake
How are team defenses better now then back in the 80's-90's....because they have slowed down on offense??? Or because they take way more 3's??? Because if I refer back to my older post, please explain why 4 of the top 5 in-the-paint scorers were perimeter players.....how is this occurring in this great team defensive era. Or how about these statements:
New Jersey Nets executive Rod Thorn, a longtime expert on NBA rules, acknowledges that last season the league adopted a dramatic shift in how it interpreted the rules of the game.
[B]No longer would a defensive player on the perimeter be allowed to use his hand, a barred arm or any sort of physical contact to impede or block the movement of either a cutter or a ball handler.[/B]
In a recent interview, Thorn said that the NBA had changed the rule to give an advantage to the offensive player.

And since its the Kobehomers who continue to try to shove this bs down posters throats...let's see why the 2004 rule changes happened
Kobe Bryant, L.A. Lakers, 2004
Lakers vs. Pistons -- Bryant's PER 14.2
"With his feud against Shaq escalating and the series getting away from the Lakers, Bryant began taking whatever shot struck him. Mostly, they struck the rim -- he shot 38.1 percent and had nearly as many turnovers (18) as assists (22) as Detroit romped in five games."
During the series, Mav's owner Mark Cuban made some interesting observations about the defensive play of the Pistons (handchecking as Jordan era players new it was dead, but minimal/temporary contact was still sometimes allowed) and the 'advantage' they had over offensive perimeter players and decided a change was necesary to tip the scales in the other direction...

[QUOTE=Christofire]A good much of you people believe it was tougher, even the statheads, but the numbers don't really support it.
I just want someone to explain to me how the Illegal defense Hand-check Era made scoring harder, but yet players had higher FG%s and point totals.[/QUOTE]
Because they take more 3's and FT's impact FG%.

This.
I can't believe this is still going on. Its not hard.
The reasons:
1. Its easier to get to the FT line now because of the defensive rules. Because of this, players don't have to make as many shots because you can get to the line easier. A perfect example of this is Kevin Martin.
2. Players shoot a ton more threes. Its the lowest percentage shot in the game. It seriously lowers raw fg%. If you looked at efg% which combines threes and twos, you'd see that the number is actually better now.
3. The game is played oustide in now instead of inside out. There aren't any good big men so not many teams are able to run an offense through a post presence that forces a team to double.
Not hard people.
As Fatal 9 said, they stopped aggressive hand checking in 1980. The reason why many 80s teams had better FG% is because they didn't shoot any 3s and shot closer range-mid. Layup first, then mid. Nobody shot any 3s. You'll get similar results today if the 00s teams won't shot any 3s.

Handchecking will help you slow down a player while driving, or determine which way a player will go.

i cant stand when the C's play Kevin Martin he's soooooo damn good at getting the refs to call fouls for em. He'll have like 10 fg attempted and end up with 32 pts like :wtf:
Boy if KJ played now with no hand checking all paint point records would be broken,he had a 50 point game in the finals against Jordan and Pippen and they both were at his mercy. I could only imagine what he would do now it would make Tony Parkers paint stats look like childs play.:lol :roll:
The four times modification of hand-checking:
First modification:
It was 1978-79 season that NBA released new rules to limit the power of hand-checking to prohibit hand-checking through
how ironic, the first three responses in this thread are from die-hard kobe stans. :roll: :roll: :roll:

I think the big reason FG% is lower today is because the league has become a more perimeter oriented/3 point shooting league today.
You could hand check all you wanted in the 90s, it wasn't going to stop Hakeem, Ewing, DRob, Shaq, etc. from shooting over 50%.
Nowadays, it's mostly guards that run most offences and they love to shoot those long fadeaway Js or spot up and wait for a 3 point shot. But these are basically by definition lower percentage shots.
