They are trying to make the game easier to make it seem like players are getting better. They think this sells, when in reality stiff competition sells. This is why any player who chases superteams, or cries for fouls constantly, will never have my respect (not that any of them care, but my 2 cents anyway).

@bnsz8704Ай бұрын
They are not even insults to begin with. People are getting ejected for just being confused or making the most harmless gestures or getting techs for what it looks like, absolutely no reason which is just refs sacrificing actual good officiating for power. And to top it all off, defense is slowly deteriorating which leads to meaningless 3 point contest and high scoring games record games becoming a daily thing, players flopping like fish and being incredibly soft, and people getting easy free throws while building up their stats it's like everyone in the NBA are just stat padders. The NBA today is just absolutely atrocious. The 90s and 2000s NBA was actually good, and Adam Sipver ruined everything David Stern did corrently.

I'll always bring up the HUGE changes that have happened to dribbling and what is considered traveling or holding the ball, every single play in todays game would be a foul just 10-15 years ago, not to mention 20+. This video doesn't even come close to showcasing how crazy it is. People act like players are just better at ball handling but in reality the vast majority of it is just that the player in possession of the ball can basically do whatever they want with the ball now giving them much more ability to make crazy plays. Its super interesting looking at all the rules changes for dribbling over the years and seeing breakdowns of what used to be called as travel, highly recommend anybody to look into it.

@izzy031096Ай бұрын
@@izzy031096 It all started with the 1998 lockout. Then they removed hand-checking (actually enforcing it this time) in 1999 in a sad attempt to bring fans back by artificially increasing scoring. More rule changes were made in the next few years, culminating with the death-blow in 2004...gee, who had just won the title that year? Oddly enough, there was a GOOD rule change in that time: the (alleged) legalization of zone defense. Zone should never have been outlawed. But in reality, they made it ILLEGAL via introducing the defensive three-second violation.
@coldsnap5742Ай бұрын
Narrator's correct that zone was illegal until after 01. The old "illegal defense" violation was basically that - team got caught trying to play zone. The legalization of zone and implementation of defensive 3 secs went hand in hand; the idea was to boost scoring. I remember not quite understanding how that made any sense - and really, it didn't, not for the 2001 NBA - but maybe the league was smarter than I gave them credit for and knew that teams would adjust over time and start prioritizing long distance shooting. The "zone" that was being used on Doc, MJ, etc. was a combination of 1) 80s/90s halfcourt floor spacing that allowed defenders to help more easily w/o being far enough away from your actual assignment to get called for it, and 2) flat out illegal defense that didn't get called. Unless you were up against someone like Reggie Miller, perimeter defenders would play like 10 feet off their guy and the refs were good with it. So I mean, you're not wrong that teams played zone before the 01 rule changes, but the narrator isn't wrong about the rule changes.

If they called every double dribble and travel and didn't give players points for flopping as well as hand checking and better defense then the scoring would definitely not be as high. I won't argue that players are better offensively but the reason it looks way better is because of those reasons not because of a huge difference in skill.
@alyxsatyr3585Ай бұрын
@@alyxsatyr3585 3pt shooting plays the biggest role tho. Way more than the rules, the 3pt shot has made role players an offensive threat to the point where there are no scrubs in the NBA. Flopping doesn’t happen as much as critics say it does nor does it happen most of the time, fouls & free throws are at an all time low. If I search up Lebron flops right now, they will literally show 5 to 8 instances with only 3 of them being clear flops and the flops would be across a thirteen year period. Players don’t flop every game. And handchecking has been out of the NBA since the early 2000s. Nobody ever criticizes Kobe for excelling in an era with no handchecking. Those things combined do make a difference, but it’s disrespectful when fans make it seem like everything a player does today is null and void because of a soft nba.

Rodman would be "almost unplayable"? He is the most valuable player of all time. He would be even better today, with managers like Morey that can recognize value. In his era, people didn't understand that 3s, layups, free throws, spacing, gravity, and rebounding have immense value in basketball. They thought SCORING was value (many still do). His defense wasn't even elite, it MIGHT have been above average. His rebounding is so freakishly good that he would be an AMAZING add to the GSW of the recent run. Put him instead of the Zaza or instead of Chris Paul or instead of almost any >5th best player on a recent championship GSW team, and they improve. Massively. That's absolutely disgusting! That's what player value is. Making great(est?) teams even better. I'd rather have someone who creates gravity and can shoot and space plus Rodman on my team than two players who hog lots of possessions and score inefficiently and can't play defense and don't rebound.

Some resistance! Now the lane opens up like when Moses parted the Red Sea, you can't touch a guy, there's no big manning the middle, and you have shooters all over the place, which is fine, but could you please bring back hand-checking and allow bigs to man the middle? I don't wanna see any more incidents like when Tim Duncan was tossed outta the game just for laughing! Or when Giannis got a technical just for staring someone down after he dunked on him! These things are ridiculous! Plus load management, plus the past few all-star games being a disgrace to the game!

Regardless of what you think of the officiating, I hate when players argue with the referees. I have *YET* to see an official change his mind on a call after a player is yelling at him. All it does is piss them off and possibly make them want to make iffy calls go the other way. However, I *HAVE* seen players calmly talk to a ref after a call goes against them and - to be honest, I dont know if it really helps - but it seems when they do that, the ref definitely seems more inclined to listen them. This is rare... Players love to argue or be passive aggressive.

4:52 "The offense was even worse" Or maybe the defense was better. The problem is equating more points with a better product. Same thing the NFL did, which is why many people are frustrated with it. The NBA has become what soccer was when I was a kid- a soft game played by floppers and crybabies.

I loved basketball growing up but I felt this change at a domestic and rep ball level in Australia, flopping is a serious tactic, the key is no longer a bruiser type of place, and there seems to be protection of offensive players by the refs especially if they're small. It took all the joy out of the sport for me and I stopped playing a few years ago. I really want to see flopping get heavily penalized and roughness return to the game, until then I'll stick to more interesting sports.

I think the main effect of eliminating hand checking was actually to free up the three point shooters, not the drivers. It just took 10 years to figure that out. You can't consistently hit a three pointer with a guys hand on your hip (and all those step back moves used to be travels). You can, however, if you are good, hit shots from the mid range. If today's league was allowed to play defense like they used to, the number of three point attempts would go down, mid range shots and post ups would go up, and you'd start seeing more defensive and rebounding specialists, such as Rodman, on rosters. If your average offensive player needs a pick to get open, you might as well have a guy like Rodman setting the pick.

They are trying to make the game easier to make it seem like players are getting better. They think this sells, when in reality stiff competition sells. This is why any player who chases superteams, or cries for fouls constantly, will never have my respect (not that any of them care, but my 2 cents anyway).

We have been complaining about this for years but Adam is yet to resolve these issues
The refs ejecting playing over getting insulted is so dumb
They are not even insults to begin with. People are getting ejected for just being confused or making the most harmless gestures or getting techs for what it looks like, absolutely no reason which is just refs sacrificing actual good officiating for power. And to top it all off, defense is slowly deteriorating which leads to meaningless 3 point contest and high scoring games record games becoming a daily thing, players flopping like fish and being incredibly soft, and people getting easy free throws while building up their stats it's like everyone in the NBA are just stat padders. The NBA today is just absolutely atrocious. The 90s and 2000s NBA was actually good, and Adam Sipver ruined everything David Stern did corrently.
Direct insults I think should be called. You dont want players cussing out referees all game just because they are frustrated. But just criticizing and questioning refs shouldnt be a foul for sure. And taunting should definitely be allowed, it makes the game more interesting for everyone.
They should let them get into fights like hockey players.

Facts! I remember when Tim Duncan was tossed outta the game just for laughing! Damn!And now it seems to be a regular pattern!
I'll always bring up the HUGE changes that have happened to dribbling and what is considered traveling or holding the ball, every single play in todays game would be a foul just 10-15 years ago, not to mention 20+. This video doesn't even come close to showcasing how crazy it is. People act like players are just better at ball handling but in reality the vast majority of it is just that the player in possession of the ball can basically do whatever they want with the ball now giving them much more ability to make crazy plays. Its super interesting looking at all the rules changes for dribbling over the years and seeing breakdowns of what used to be called as travel, highly recommend anybody to look into it.
“Players back in the day didn’t have handles” Yeah players back in the day went dribbling with the hand on the side/under the ball either.
yeah, and its annoying how people act like past nba players didnt practice basketball skills everyday.
the league actually started favoring the offense in 91 by introducing flagrant fouls, 94 you couldnt hand check past the three pt line, 96 allen iverson was getting away with carrys and double dribbles constantly. its 90s stans that hate todays game but dont realize that it was their era that started making offense easier to play. also the games offensive increase isnt about making it more fun to watch or easier for offense, it was to increase more sportsmanship like play. so actually what youre whining about was happening over 30 years ago! in your favorite era you love to dick ride!!!!!!
Zone was played all the way back in the 80s. There is very clear cut footage of zone being used to defend Dr J. The Pistons openly talked about using zone on MJ. It was used consistently throughout the 90s.
THANK YOU. I have so many newspaper articles dating back to 1982 talking about this, but whenever I paste them here, KZhead instantly deletes my comment. This is not a platform for sourced debate. They won't let it be one.
@@coldsnap5742 It’s common knowledge if you’re not new to the game or under the age of 25. I just hate that it’s used as a reason to try and elevate modern players. Like no, it has been used all throughout the modern game. The main defensive changes that occurred were 3 sec and hand checking (the video creator got that part right).
@@izzy031096 It all started with the 1998 lockout. Then they removed hand-checking (actually enforcing it this time) in 1999 in a sad attempt to bring fans back by artificially increasing scoring. More rule changes were made in the next few years, culminating with the death-blow in 2004...gee, who had just won the title that year? Oddly enough, there was a GOOD rule change in that time: the (alleged) legalization of zone defense. Zone should never have been outlawed. But in reality, they made it ILLEGAL via introducing the defensive three-second violation.
Narrator's correct that zone was illegal until after 01. The old "illegal defense" violation was basically that - team got caught trying to play zone. The legalization of zone and implementation of defensive 3 secs went hand in hand; the idea was to boost scoring. I remember not quite understanding how that made any sense - and really, it didn't, not for the 2001 NBA - but maybe the league was smarter than I gave them credit for and knew that teams would adjust over time and start prioritizing long distance shooting. The "zone" that was being used on Doc, MJ, etc. was a combination of 1) 80s/90s halfcourt floor spacing that allowed defenders to help more easily w/o being far enough away from your actual assignment to get called for it, and 2) flat out illegal defense that didn't get called. Unless you were up against someone like Reggie Miller, perimeter defenders would play like 10 feet off their guy and the refs were good with it. So I mean, you're not wrong that teams played zone before the 01 rule changes, but the narrator isn't wrong about the rule changes.
But it was illegal, same thing with hand checking todays, it’s illegal but it happens every games, you can’t defend a Lebron, a Zion, Giannis, Jokic, Embiid or ANT without putting your hands on them, just look at Jokic scares on his arms …

Honestly tho the nba NEEDS to add more physical defense because just waving your hands around and having to be 5 inches away from the opponent just makes defending more boring and adding more physical play would help defenders and make the game wayyy more interesting

brunson and hart went on hot ones versus and brunson actually gave a couple good ideas. the first was that apparently refs get punished but we just dont know about it so he wants to make that public the same way the players punishments are. his 2nd idea that i thought was good was giving them more time off because refs travel more and ref more games than players play each season (some can ref up to 100 games in a season.) i think the time off and hiring more refs is good. i always thought having more of a revolving door of refs is good idea because if they are more likely to be replaced they may ref better (or anxiety would make it so much worse but that depends on the person)
The threat of losing your job might make it different for referees. They might think twice about techs.
Publicly punishing refs would be horrible How about the NBA just stops making a big deal out of it and players do the same Trying to turn it into a dramatic event keeps the NBA annoying

Rodman unplayable?? Feel like he could start for any and all teams playing today.
Agreed, he'd be playable for sure. If I can compare him to a player today, it's probably Vando who starts for the Lakers.
@@hecevans8749I’d personally compare him to Steven Adams. Defence and offensive rebounds through the roof. Rodman is slightly better at both of those things and Adams is a better screen setter and passer. But they are both defence rebounds first, scoring second. Dive on any loose ball, hustle constantly. I see many parallels. To the OP: Rodman would definitely start today. This youtuber has some questionable takes at best…
Facts! Because he could easily average 25, maybe even 30 rebounds per game, with all this up and down three-point chuckathon!
Hell nah. He drops 4 points a game with no bag and would probably foul out and get Td up every game.
Today, rodman would be fouled out by halftime in any game.. Officiating is atrocious now
Don't wanna go back to the 80 point games but right now every game is a boring three point shooting contest with almost zero defense. Something needs to change.
Start calling the moving screens as fouls for starters and call the gather step traveling as it ALWAYS has been

Getting? It's been soft ever since The Pistons beat The Lakers in the finals lol The NBA lost alot of money. And that's all they care about. The owners and players are greedy. Players don't play for the fans just themselves. That's why I'm done with pro sports. If its just a business and loyalty respect and the fans dont matter then no reason to watch.
Adam silver has been such a push over it’s insane. Obviously not all his fault but I’d say more then half is
That’s why March has become my favorite month for ball. Beyond just getting to see my alma mater play I just prefer the focus on team play, solid defense, and much better tournament structure from the NCAA than the NBA. The energy at games is also just way better than the pro league so this whole idea that only offense sells tickets is a farce.
10:52 my gf thought I was crazy I just suddenly burst laughing at this clip 🤣🤣
This has always happened. The lakers were not going to three peat if not for the officiating.
Guys is just getting better and better by year they find ways to abuse the rule to their advantage nothing can do about that even role players can score 30 if they are hot. Just enjoy the game.
Only smart comment here
Maybe offensively they are getting better but I'm sorry you cannot say that they are getting alot better by exploiting the rules of the game itself. How are you supposed to enjoy the game when the games rules are broken non stop all game? You can stop that, you enforce the rules again simple as that. You call every double dribble, every travel and so on.
@@alyxsatyr3585not “maybe” offensively; it’s clear as day. The lakers as a 9th seed had 4 players score 25+ points yesterday and all of those are CLEARLY more offensively skilled than Smush Parker, Kwame Brown, Kendrick Perkins Eric Snow, Thabo Sefolosha etc. who all played heavy minutes or were starters for playoff teams.
@tiktokformenofculture9753 I agree that players are better offensively. But what you can't ignore is the fact that a huge majority of that is due to the huge increase in 3pt shooting, more space on defense, and also as discussed above, the rules being exploited constantly by players. If they called every double dribble and travel and didn't give players points for flopping as well as hand checking and better defense then the scoring would definitely not be as high. I won't argue that players are better offensively but the reason it looks way better is because of those reasons not because of a huge difference in skill.
@@alyxsatyr3585 3pt shooting plays the biggest role tho. Way more than the rules, the 3pt shot has made role players an offensive threat to the point where there are no scrubs in the NBA. Flopping doesn’t happen as much as critics say it does nor does it happen most of the time, fouls & free throws are at an all time low. If I search up Lebron flops right now, they will literally show 5 to 8 instances with only 3 of them being clear flops and the flops would be across a thirteen year period. Players don’t flop every game. And handchecking has been out of the NBA since the early 2000s. Nobody ever criticizes Kobe for excelling in an era with no handchecking. Those things combined do make a difference, but it’s disrespectful when fans make it seem like everything a player does today is null and void because of a soft nba. Kobe’s 81= mamba mentality Luka’s 73 or Embiid’s 70= signs of a soft nba
@14:56 why is my dude Taj Gibson holding a shoe while contesting a shot 😂
Rodman would be "almost unplayable"? He is the most valuable player of all time. He would be even better today, with managers like Morey that can recognize value. In his era, people didn't understand that 3s, layups, free throws, spacing, gravity, and rebounding have immense value in basketball. They thought SCORING was value (many still do). His defense wasn't even elite, it MIGHT have been above average. His rebounding is so freakishly good that he would be an AMAZING add to the GSW of the recent run. Put him instead of the Zaza or instead of Chris Paul or instead of almost any >5th best player on a recent championship GSW team, and they improve. Massively. That's absolutely disgusting! That's what player value is. Making great(est?) teams even better. I'd rather have someone who creates gravity and can shoot and space plus Rodman on my team than two players who hog lots of possessions and score inefficiently and can't play defense and don't rebound.
getting t'd up for hanging on the rim for 1-2 seconds after a dunk is ridiculous
Thumbnail artist is getting paid fat stacks for this one
Nowadays players are less skilled because they have no handles or defense. Being able to travel, double dribble, and carry the ball does not mean you have good handles.🙄
9:55 yup, was about to type this out and you said it. Most frustrating thing to see when watching a game. Ref should just no call that garbage.
Thumbnail is wack
The NBA is a Traveling, Ball Carry, and the offensive player can take his hand wrapped around the defensive player to score, but yet it's a defensive foul... League!
I have noticed this new KZhead basketball genre narrative that the 90’s was slow and overhyped which is bs. You weren’t there to watch it. So unless you go back and watch entire seasons, going off stats only tell half the truth. Also as a person who had a career as a corporate analyst, I know that you can find anything you want, to suit your narrative in stats if you look hard enough.
Another classic and amazing banger. The Consistensy is crazy.
Guys, remember the time when Mt. Mutombo was allowed to wag his finger at opponents after blocking their shots? That was fun to watch! Players were allowed to stare people down after dunking on them! It used to be much tougher to score, especially with drives to the basket, because defenders were allowed to hand-check you and bigs were allowed to man the middle! So, we saw some defense! Some resistance! Now the lane opens up like when Moses parted the Red Sea, you can't touch a guy, there's no big manning the middle, and you have shooters all over the place, which is fine, but could you please bring back hand-checking and allow bigs to man the middle? I don't wanna see any more incidents like when Tim Duncan was tossed outta the game just for laughing! Or when Giannis got a technical just for staring someone down after he dunked on him! These things are ridiculous! Plus load management, plus the past few all-star games being a disgrace to the game! Back in the 90s, I remember being impressed when Richard Dumas and Latrell Sprewell averaged 15 points in their rookie seasons! Now, I hear about 50, 60 and 70 points all the time and I wanna throw up, because where's the defense?
I mean since all star weekend the scores been lowered and less bad foul calls, refs being soft asl for thec's is normal, Rasheed Wallace getting a thec for staring at the ref or Duncan getting one for laughing on the bench were all before this era
Regardless of what you think of the officiating, I hate when players argue with the referees. I have *YET* to see an official change his mind on a call after a player is yelling at him.

It took all the joy out of the sport for me and I stopped playing a few years ago. I really want to see flopping get heavily penalized and roughness return to the game, until then I'll stick to more interesting sports.
When Embiid scored 70 points, all the other sixer's players combined scored just 63 points 😂 Insane
Actually insanity
lotta Facts. i wish they let hand checking back into the game. d fense would be more prominent
I loved the way the 04 Pistons played. To each their own.
WE DONE WIT' DA 90S!
there was a time where i woke up at 2 in the night (i'm french) just to watch live games... and then, i realized it was more of a 3pt contest and too much whistled. so i quit.
I think the main effect of eliminating hand checking was actually to free up the three point shooters, not the drivers. It just took 10 years to figure that out. You can't consistently hit a three pointer with a guys hand on your hip (and all those step back moves used to be travels). You can, however, if you are good, hit shots from the mid range. If today's league was allowed to play defense like they used to, the number of three point attempts would go down, mid range shots and post ups would go up, and you'd start seeing more defensive and rebounding specialists, such as Rodman, on rosters. If your average offensive player needs a pick to get open, you might as well have a guy like Rodman setting the pick.
this thumbnail is god tier
Don't forget the switching on defense; that was unheard of, that was your man all night, if they lit you up for 40, that was all on you, not the team.🤦🏾♂️
Great photoshop work on the thumbnail lol😂
It's no longer a sport. It's entertainment. Get used to it. It's been this way for 50 years.
Technical fouls 😢...
I want to see a fight break out in every game
You're watching the wrong sport kid
@@bigcrybaby17 Why single me out when everyone else in the comments is saying the same thing?
Pace doesn't affect offensive rating. Offensive rating is just PP100P.
Thanx for covering up what so many people think
Thanks Bron!
They can start by calling traveling, I mean I watch LeBraun carry the ball end to end only dribbling 2 times. Wilt chamberlain would average 150 points a game in today’s basketball.
Durante reaction was priceless 😂
