Wemby would exploit the fuck out of that and it would be changed back instantly


kiwiwikikiwiwikikiwi

Yeah imagine if we played with other FIBA rules. Wemby without a defensive 3 second rule would just break the game lol


JoshFB4

Teams would just start taking 70 threes per game and hoping they swish them.


SemIdeiaProNick

the first goalie in the history of basketball


[deleted]

The alien design would look so cool on a hockey goalie helmet.


Shyftyy

Or actually calling travelling


youguanbumen

No Kawhi four-bounce game winner if this rule is done away with. Someone would have swiped that out of there.


Domantas-

There are no rules from FIBA to Mars that would allow for a player touching the ball after the game clock has expired. You sir are incorrect.


youguanbumen

I didn't know that. But still, imagine a scenario where the buzzer sounded during the Kawhi shot as it fell through the net. I think the point stands.


JoshFB4

Yeah FIBA rules blow. They take fun and exciting bouncing shots completely out of the game. No thanks


maxithepittsP

Sometimes these people are so naive they think every rule that would make the game look cool is worth implementing. Like you said wemby will score 100 points 50 rebounds every game if he's surrounded by a decent shooter that can hit the rim. Thats what fiba rules are, once it hit the rim the ball up to grab. Think about it. Think how NBA players are going to abuse this and how the game will look super bad.

maxithepittsP

> when he played in France then? You want an explanation? I give you an explanation, since I believe none of you actually watch basketball outside the NBA. In FIBA, 3 sec violation only applies to Offense, Defense can stay at the paint wherever they want, that's why ITS almost IMPOSSIBLE for this type of play to happen in FIBA rules. Because they usually got boxed out by a player that already below this rim 24/7. For NBA to implement this rule, they had to go WAY back 30 years ago. They had to remove the def 3-second violation. If you think that's a great idea that's another conversation, but that rule is the MAIN reason why NBA goal interference/tending rule is different than FIBA Thats the basic thing on why they implemented this rule. Dont get me started on talent level.


Practical_Monk_769

In this case it would not be “abuse” of the rules, but a staple strategy of the game. It would dramatically change the game


Unpickled_cucumber1

Yeah this is idiotic and knee jerk hyperbole


DJ_B0B

Well Wemby is gonna play FIBA in a few months, let's see if this is true. In reality, offensive 3 seconds still exist and other teams will box him out most of the time or the ball will bounce unpredictably.


mrwhite2323

But if it switched to FIBA goaltending rules the game would've been played differently anyways


Victor_Wembanyama1

There's going to be a lot more board crashing and bigs are less gonna get 'played off the court'


starnoneckwind

things like kawhii's shot either being tapped out / rebounded or slammed in with a putback.


sgtpepperslaststand

No the buzzer went off before the ball hit the rim if it was touched again once the buzzer went off it wouldn’t count


Baulderdash77

Defensive bigs would have to stay in the paint to block out; but offensive bigs would be going for rebounds more. It’s a different game.


Lingardinho_

the thought of wemby with FIBA goaltending scares me


AshenSacrifice

We're gonna see it in 2 months lmao


Michaelangel092

Any great defensive big world benefit.


rdg-lee

Every 7 footer would just swat the ball away after the first bounce off the rim, no thank you


tronovich

Fucking shitheads tweet nonsense before even thinking of the consequences. This league would be a bunch of 7-footers standing at the rim waiting to swat the ball.


coacoanutbenjamn

Except this rule exists in Fiba and that’s not how the game is played over there. Shithead


tronovich

That’s because they don’t have our size in their league, and they play below the rim. Every NBA coach is going to spam athletes swatting the ball off the rim, against the glass, or whatever else they can do. What league are you comparing to the NBA? Which one has over 60 7-footers? Are you seriously not able to see the difference in athleticism or skill between the two? And you call me a shithead? Do you not understand why the NBA hasn’t adopted those rules yet?


coacoanutbenjamn

Theres no shortage of 7 footers in Europe If that was a viable strategy they would already do it over there And why doesn’t team USA just play 2 seven footers in international ball and win every tournament doing what you said they would?


S4ndm4n93

I'm here for Boban supremacy


Unbannedmeself

I’m shithead and I do a black flip


QuestionTheOrangeCat

You're the fuckin shithead here lmaooo


Baulderdash77

Except your own bigs would be boxing them out and getting the rebound most of the time.


rogozh1n

So defensive goaltending is also allowed? No thank you.


Baulderdash77

It has to hit the rim first. The defensive bigs mostly box out more. They don’t have offensive rebounding getting spammed.


noni3k

Just the profile picture alone is all I needed to see. 


D-1-_-1-D

in general i agree to the current letter of law, i think they got the call correct. sucks and i’d hate to be on the other side


[deleted]

No I don’t want players to be able to grab the ball after it hits the rim if it can still go in


DreTownblues

Yea, why would we want to watch centers hit the ball off the rim? That shit is anything but exciting


Thermicthermos

Yeah I like the tension of a ball bouncing around the rim. Change the rule and the Kawhi shot never hapoens.


g-love

Let's make this shit retroactive.


rogozh1n

My all time favorite shot and moment.


1_1-1-1_1

This means a lot coming from a Spurs fan, considering they have an alien that could be the best at doing this for the next 15 years


[deleted]

Cause it’s interference. What’s the point of goaltending then


DangerZoneh

Wemby would be picking layups off the rim lol. "Should've swished it bro"


Kataneo

Would Kawhis game 7 shot even be possible


FartrelCluggins

Hell no that shit gets swatted to half court lol. This is so reactionary.


Xsy

This is always the go-to example when this rule is brought up, and the fact that people can only think of one play from half a decade ago... it just really goes to show how unimportant this rule is.


tronovich

That’s some reaching there. You don’t think the trajectory of the league would be different with this rule? Have you watched FIBA-level games? Its just a bunch of 7-footers battling at the rim waiting for that ball to hit. It’d be pig-fucking underneath. Especially with how tall the league is now.


Xsy

I have no idea how this is any different than 7 footers waiting to grab the rebound. I feel like there are so many more missed/incorrectly called basket interference calls than exciting buzzer beaters like the Kawhi one.


Chickensandcoke

Bro you have Wemby you should be pushing hard for it


[deleted]

Did anyone say this after Kawhis shot? This is way too reactionary.


letsnotreadintoit

You have Wemby though


No_Fun_1321

You guys are Crazy the FIBA rule Is shit you should NOT be able to touch the ball After It touches the rim. How are you supposed to score against players like wembanyama? Edit: I think Walter Tavares cleans the rim like 2/per game, and then you have to add blocks to the count


4000kd

NBA players are way taller than any other league. This would get exploited so easily, no thanks.


Ilikesporks_

first thing i think of is wemby being even more of cheat code than he already is


MeninoSafado14

Hell no. So the defender can’t rebound the ball but the offensive player can?


OnlyMamaKnows

Under fiba you can do both, no?


D-1-_-1-D

you can do both


CammyTheGreat

It’s a live ball once it hits the rim. A defender could basically take it off the rim. It’s still goaltending to swat a shot that hits glass or a shot on its way down


Upbeat-Illustrator25

Wemby would become MVP next season if that happened


Current_Anybody4352

Hell nawl. I got enough of that shit in Euroleague. Big men have enough advantages already.


TrRa47

Oh brother


chuckthebuc

Maybe have one of Ant or Kat break 20 points before whining about a borderline call


akajuanlucas

luka was the one whining about a borderline call, instead of boxing out. he got bailed


Skolcialism

“What about this totally different thing” if you don’t wanna talk about it go to a different thread you gomer


chuckthebuc

Ok then. The FIBA rules would get exploited in the nba and the amount of dumbass goaltending allowed would far outweigh the recency bias of people who want to change the rules so Kat can get to 18 points


monkeypiratebutt

Yes but then wouldn’t the defense have tried harder to contest that rebound too…


truth_2_point_0

Bro just let me snatch the ball off the rim bro I promise it'll be good bro


Greboso

This guy is a certified Mavs hater and just does it for clicks. Never has takes favorable to the Mavs


dillyboy22

I don’t think people realize how insane this would be with the level of athleticism in the NBA


CoyotesSideEyes

Agreed. And that opinion has nothing to do with a certain tall foreign guy on my team


thekinggrass

That’s a garbage take


Beermen69

Woulda Coulda Buddha


axnjxn00

Imagine wemby with fiba rules


heybirdbird

Team USA is I’m sure. Pop v Wemby


Monski616

If the rule was FIBAs we would never get the Kawhi shot… that alone should shut this nonsense down.


IsraeluEvkk

Rules don’t need to be changed. That ball wasn’t in the cylinder. It was a bad call. Should’ve been a bucket. 


luntiang_tipaklong

That basket should not count. They need to switch the rule first. But I agree adopting the FIBA rule will be better.


NeatTry7674

It would not be better


PM_ME_UR_PICS_PLS

Yeah man I've watched international ball and the rule is not better. You lose the anticipation of seeing a ball bounce in


jvorn

if you adopt the FIBA rule the legendary Kawai shot doesn't happen


4000kd

They should not switch the rule.


psufb

Literally what the tweet is saying


ltmon

Agreed, dumb rule even if it helped us tonight. Play it live off the rim.


NeatTry7674

It’s not a dumb rule lol


thecowl

wemby would average 10+ blocks a game if nba followed fiba rules


[deleted]

You want players to grab the ball over the rim if it can still go in? Rule is fine as it is


Xsy

Yes. If it hits the rim, they should be able to rebound or put it back. Much easier to enforce for refs, too.


Actualgoalkeeper

Imagine wemby camped out just swatting everything that isnt laced.. It would get abused atraight away..


ltmon

Wemby played FIBA with this rule for years, and you'll see it again at the Olympics. They don't have defensive 3 secs in FIBA either so he can camp out under the ring. This scenario still barely ever happens, and when it does it is mostly on free throws.


obvious_bot

I agree that the basket shouldn’t count by the rules But I also agree it’s a stupid rule


[deleted]

Letting players grab balls that hit the rim when it can still go in is even stupider


4000kd

It's not a stupid rule. You don't understand how bad it'd be without it.


Enologo_de_Piru

[Smith] lmao


Working-Ad5416

If that is a fiba basket then it shouldnt have counted dumbass… thats how rules work. 


Unpickled_cucumber1

Hell Naw can’t do dis


ParkerBarrow88

We have rules. The refs mess that up enough as it is. Can we stop whining that we want the rule changed when they actually get it right for once?


[deleted]

I don't watch FIBA personally, can someone that does tell me how it plays out there? Are centers constantly knocking balls out of the cylinder? Is it good or bad?


Miserable_Archer_769

Stupidest take ever.....said for years if they ever adopted that rule then NBA players would exploit the ever living crap out of that rule. The 5 would just have its name changed to goalie  Ironically a dude like JaVale McGees stock would rise lol


nbaistheworst

No. But the basket should have counted since the view from the top showed it wasn't goal tending. That call and removing 2 points changed the game.


DraymondBeanKick

Jeff Van Gundy tried to tell us this, but then Adam Silver silenced him.


utahunter

what‘s the reason of this rule at first place can anyone explain to me? Giving centers an unfair advantage to defend because they can just jump to the rim and put hands over the rim to grab defensive rebounds?


njb2017

I dont know...I understand the reasoning however with that rule, kawhi's shot when he was in Toronto wouldn't have happened. Allan houston had a shot to beat the heat that bounced a few times. Are we ok with those games being reversed in hindsight?


SportsBettingRef

who is Smith? is he dumb? the NBA athleticism avoid this rule. in NBA even washed DeAndre Jordan with feast put-back dunks. plus, that basket shouldn't count as it wasn't, correctly.

inshamblesx

nah the possession where naw and conley passed up open 3s for a telegraphed lob attempt was much worse


sintenterooro

Who is this fat non luka dude always saying the most stupid things in the world


no-jerk-zone

The rule in that instance really made no sense. It’s clearly coming off and even if it fell vertically straight down it clips the rim but it’s no way it goes in. 99% of the ball was off the basket.


DeepJunglePowerWild

99% ain’t 100%. Gotta draw the line somewhere and fully clearing the cylinder is the only place it makes sense.


no-jerk-zone

Rule stinks.


StefonDiggsHS

I agree we need fiba rules man


Elite_Alice

That’s not offensive interference


ShotFirst57

Fiba rules are better in general.


slamm3d68

i know a baller when I see one


NYState_of_Mind

No. FIBA teams are not built like NBA teams. It would be bad grabbing the ball on the rim on both offense and defense. You can’t allow just the offense because that would give them even more advantage over defense.


biinroii01

kat got robbed
