1 year agoWe’re in an era where the rules are mere suggestions unless it’s a contact foul.
Bigs today travel and carry when they handle the ball, and there aren’t any exceptions because unless they’re in the post, they’re doing it on every single possession. It’s also why you never saw them do it 20 years ago: they used to call the violation. People love to blow smoke up the asses of current players, saying how “talented” they are. That isn’t talent. That’s willfully ignoring the rules. The refs have gotten so bad at it that there’s plenty of footage where players just pick balls up and walk with them and nobody calls anything. A lot of bigs from the past would have more shit in their bags if they could do the same thing.
LeChoke was so insecure that he tried to do Space Jam again.
