"Rebounding barely matters" Seriously?

Zogo posted:The Warriors and Cavaliers are below average rebounding teams. Meanwhile teams like the Pistons, Nuggets, Hornets, Bulls and Thunder are the elite rebounding teams. I agree it may not be as important as it was in the past, but saying rebounding barely matters is insane. Just because two of the best teams to ever play in the NBA, currently happen to be weak at rebounding (while being historically great at every other aspect) doesn't mean rebounding is worthless.

I could never forgive myself if I changed allegiances. The only reason I could see it happening is if I moved to a new city, but my NY teams would always be my true loves. (For better or for worse)

Also you know these guys play pick up games and play with more effort than the all star game. I bet LeBron plays harder against his son in his driveway.

So if every player in the dunk contest just walked up to the hoop and did a two footed hop dunk you wouldn't complain? People can get hurt doing dunks ya know!

Intruder posted:Which is why stars never participate in it anymore Bullshit. Stars do Dunk Contest caliber dunks in pre-game warm ups all the time. No star is skipping the dunk contest because he's scared of getting injured. Scared of losing maybe...

Gobias Ind. posted:Players decline invitations to the dunk contest all the time (for a variety of reasons). The participants accept an invitation and choose to risk their health. All-stars are selected by fans and coaches and have to play. Players decline invitations to the all-star game as well. There's probably 50+ instances of players declining to play after being selected. The participants accept an invitation and choose to risk their health for that too, just like the dunk contest. There's no injured player who is going out there playing in the all star game because they were voted in. If they don't want to play, they don't play.

BWV posted:Also it's dumb because the entire NBA is full of super unique awesome players who do cool poo poo all the time. Agreed, but someone like Antetokounmpo, who can can take one dribble from half court and throw down a vicious windmill, is so unique that he stands out in a league full of the most freakishly athletic people in the world. Same with a 7'3 kid who is draining 30 footers after he throws down a put-back dunk over said freak athletes. RCarr fucked around with this message at 21:08 on Mar 28, 2017 |

I'm going to Knicks/Bulls tomorrow. When I bought these tickets in December I had grand ideas of a late season match-up with playoff implications on the line. Now I guess the best case scenario is for my team to lose. At least I get to see KP live

Lockback posted:"A defensive foul is not called if the offensive player initiates contact" rule would basically solve most of these types of problems. It would also eliminate LeBron's "bull charge into defender and take two free throws" technique.
