No hand checking. Takes a G league player to make the slam dunk contest interesting at the all-star game.



Please add.

Why would we want hand checking though?

Like the old school guys that didn't move their feet for shit but used their hands to play cheap defense. No thanks.

42% of all shot attempts are 3's, please explain how this is good for the game?

Are you joking? 🙃

Players have too much space to operate on the perimeter to dribble, step back, and get a shot off. Hand checking would force inside-out basketball and make inside the arc more of a priority again… because players would have their rhythm disrupted much more often

Not enough pull up 3s (when player dribbles up the court, passes to absolutely no one, and takes a 3)

Am in agreement here

More defense would not help
More shoot 3 = gg fun basketballs

Especially when you're hitting overs over & over again
Well as long as they make a decent % of the 3 or else the over doesn't hit sometime
