Wait wait wait, didn't we used to call Euroleague players soft? That they couldn't handle the physicality of the NBA.
It’s why Dame was also saying it's hard to score in FIBA because the best scorers in the NBA score from three and get fouled, in FIBA not as many foul calls, more physical. It’s why Team USA was struggling, because what the NBA has become is so far away from what basketball is. Foul hunting is a skill, but when the game becomes more about ways to draw fouls and exaggerate the contact by doing unnatural motions like hooking defenders, that’s when the game is ruined.
Here’s a chart, as 3 pointers have become a higher percentage of the total shots attempted, the free throw to shot ratio has just leveled out which means that per drive, there are more free throws.
Even Curry in 2019 said that the rule changes "It gives perimeter guys a lot more freedom." The NBA allowed players to have more freedom of movement, defenders weren't allowed to get in the way of offensive players getting to their spots, which seems counter intuitive because, uhm how are players supposed to defend then.
The NBA is finally addressing these issues and it’s more important than you think.
So here are the rule changes, all of the following are not gonna be called or called an offensive foul
The shooter launches or leans into a defender at an abnormal angle
The offensive player abruptly veers off his path (sideways or backwards) into a defender
The shooter kicks his leg (up or to the side) at an abnormal angle
The offensive player’s off-arm hooks the defender (often in the process of attempting a shot in a non-basketball manner)"
NBA viewership has steadily went down and down and down for the past few years, except this year cause it’s higher than the bubble, but not higher than 2019. The NBA was hilarious though, they were like look it’s a 33% increase compared to last year, I hope so, your comparison is to when the crowd was screens. And there’s a lot of reasons like the NBA’s own platform not being great to watch games, but there’s also the regular season just not meaning as much or not being as exciting. Being on a 25% dip from the last regular season isn't good. In fact no metric is good, the younger demographic is watching less, the NBA is gonna lose out on money at this point if they don't get their act together. I also got a gaming channel that I'm gonna be posting on once 2K come out if it actually does so might as well check it out before the season starts.
The NBA introduced freedom of movement rules in 2018 and since then viewership has tanked. These rules changes are meant to be a bandaid that attempts to fix what the Olympics showed. People enjoyed FIBA basketball more. FIBA doesn't have offensive players foul hunting and forcing contact. Rather than the complaining culture that exists, playing hard and physical basketball was a hit. I wanna say this, we can't be mad at players for gaming the system because it worked. Like players wanna win, and if drawing fouls by jumping backwards is working, why would they not do it. It was up to the NBA to stop this nonsense and they are finally doing it. However, these rules still don't really stop all the perimeter shenanigans. These rules prevent shooters from getting fouled on jumpshots, but mainly prevent getting fouled on the drive, which is a huge step to begin with and gets us closer to FIBA officiating. This doesn't get us to how the NBA used to call it 10 years ago.
As a result of the rule changes, spacing may change, more defenders may be able to successfully guard players, meaning more one on one instead of help and rotation. Perhaps the most important point is that defense may actually be rewarded, like defenders won't feel helpless all the time.
Pick and rolls aren't just an easy way to get fouls. The pick and roll is the single most used play in the NBA, usually leading to repeatable success. Stars will still thrive, but just differently. More floaters, more reading the defense and making a play instead of looking for the refs to call fouls. Heck midranges might be used more because driving to the rim won't mean an easy foul if you bump into the defender.
