@@ReverendSam1 We call New York Yankees as evil empire. How about Utah Jazz's salary compare with Bull's in 1997-98 season ? From the other perspective, if you get paid the same in any company (25%, 30% or 35% cap), you want to work for a better environment, with your buddy, winning culture, etc.
@@ReverendSam1 Did you even watch the video ? MJ's salary was more then the other teams' whole salary. Imagine LBJ and KD's salary were bigger than the teams' whole salary, they certainly cannot form the super team and stay where they were.
There were bigs that dominated the game after the great MJ, I just believe the great MJ let the pecking order of things reign. Some players nowadays need to try that........just saying 🤔!!!
In 1987 they made the illegal offense rule so MJ couldn't isolate so easily. They had an offense in 1986-87 season that all the players would stand to one side and high and Jordan would be isolated on the other side and cook his defender. This play was made illegal in 1987, look up 1987 illegal offense rule, there is still the archive of the rule. This was to make it harder for Jordan to iso, now other players had to be below the freethrow line at least 3. So that's a comback to Wilt saying they only changed things to help him, the f outta here.
They were able to play this way because of the illegal defense rule. It was still in place until they banned it in the early 2000s (illegal defense). If you were caught, the other team was given free-throws and the possession of the ball. I always hated that rule. Why forcing teams to play defense a certain way? FIBA and NCAA never had any problems.
@@david.tousignant20 Defense was better that way, it's the same thing as 3 second defensive rule basically, if someone spreads the floor. You could double and disguise zones, but couldn't stand in paint if spread. You could stand just outside the paint and that was enough. So no it wasn't a big deal. Today it's the same thing if people spread the floor what you gonna do you have to guard. Back then you could be close to paint.
Jordan completely changed the concept of 'athlete' It can be said that he truly changed the culture and history of sports itself. That is the solid reason why Jordan is gaining worldwide respect and admiration, not just an American sports star.
Man Jordan was soft as hell for complaining to David Stern lol even Wilt Chamberlain even said they changed the rules for him and made it harder for him
@@alexanderadonyae7937 I watched all the Pistons-vs-Bull games back in the day,the Pistons were CLOBBERING Jordan every time he drove the lane.Some times 2/3 players taking MJ to the ground,surprised MJ never had a serious injury due to these tactics.MJ wasn't SOFT,ne was SMART,Jordan was the face of the nba at that time and sold out the Bulls arena and other teams arenas ( even the bad teams/losing records ) I lived in Philly during these times,got to see Jordan play LIVE 6 times in the regular season.WHAT a joy !!!! LOL.And MJ didn't want to have a career ending injury just because the Pistons couldn't guard him.
It would be very interesting to see how the game would’ve been like today if MJ did play under today’s rules , obviously for one thing , there’s challenges , and now the game isn’t physical as it once was back in the early 80s and 90s for that reason alone
Imagine playoff-Kawhi with a better athleticism and the best rim-attack of this league… and Kawhi already is dropping 30 on nearly 60% shooting the last time he was in the playoffs
Your videos never fail to be really creative to people who just wanna learn more about certain parts of NBA history and I love that. You really inspired me to start posting video, thank you for that Andy!
Maybe I'm wrong but for the 1st 2 that you said, The thing about the 5 second rule And the 3 second rule To me both of these just seem like logical rules to make To keep the game moving, Also I do not think that the 3 second rule limited the amount of impact that big men have in the game I think they just have to play better rather than standing right in front of the hoop
There was already a rule which was similar to the three second rule (illegal defense), but it actually applied for a much bigger part of the court; not just the paint. Limiting 'illegal defense' to just the paint made it easier to play defense.
The ban of the defensive 3 seconds it's not a logical rule to make; they cancelled the rule to prevent zone defense and make the game more flashy, given that now the paint was open to high flying wing players. Zone defense made kind of a comback in recent years but it's mostly a gimmick and works just because players don't know what to do against it, the paint it's still wide open and it would be easy for a european coach to tear apart the whole scheme. The rise of 3pt shooting would've killed zone defense organically and that would've been natural, not some arbitrary rule change.
@@davidem759 Players and coaches in the NCAA and around the globe ("FIBA") are able to break down zones : cuts, motions, ball movements, etc. All NBA players competed against zones defenses prior to the NBA. In FIBA, zones are not a base defense, they can be use to change the pace of the game, but you don't rely all game on a zone, it would be a huge mistake (because, there are exceptional shooters there).
Knew of these, but the Bulls salary list was shocking. Made me sympathize with Pippen just a little bit. He made less than Harper, Longley and Kukoc? Crazy.
There was a time he was only the *6th* highest paid player on his own team, and about 150th 'highest' paid in the league. It was almost criminal. AND extremely valuable for the rest of the Bulls roster. He was a perennial all-Defense team selection, and eventually all-NBA first team multiple times as well. By being able to pay him so little AND keep him, the Bulls had a lot of salary room to pay all the role players more. The same was true to a lesser degree for Jordan as well. He didn't make huge money until his last two years (mostly in the $3m a year range all the rest of the time). So by the salary rules of the day, the Bulls had their best two players on the cheap, and could load up talent in the other spots.
Don't feel bad for him. He was advised to sign a shorter contract that would have allowed for him to negotiate a more lucrative contract later, but he opted for the longer contract for personal security. Basically he decided not to bet on himself and lost a lot of money because of it.
@@cobra7282 might have missed this or just not paid attention, but that's some good context right there. Sounds like he played it safe and is having buyer's remorse couple of decades later.
@@mitomidou I believe it was in the last dance, but I have seen this elsewhere as well. He signed a 7 year contract in 1991 before he had reached his best years.

Jordan was underpayed too. Only last years, i remember it was only one, but i assume author is right and it was last two years. But before that, Jordan made about same as Pippen.
This is what I am saying on MJs overall career! His salary before 96 was shitty af. He generated more money from endorsements than the nba itself before. Lol

If Dirk asked Mark Cuban for the most money possible it would have been a crime if Mark said no.. cause clearly Dirk deserves that money more over than anyone..
When was Hand Checking Added to the NBA? The NBA implemented Hand Checking during the 2004-2005 season. In efforts to decrease hand-checking, clarify blocking fouls and implement the defensive three-second rule. These rules were added in an attempt to “open up the game” (Official NBA Rules History). Everywhere I look it says the official enforcement of hand check was this year after Jordan's retirement so I am not sure about your info in this video about hand checking being illegal and strictly enforced when you say, I definitely watched 90's basketball and even on the shot against Utah and Russell, Russell is hand checking Jordan to start the play. As I say every source I am finding says 2004 is when the implementation and enforcement of hand checking came about.
Handchecking is absolutely overrated and has been debunked so many times, the lies and myths have been exposed: ruclips.net/video/TEF1lVcUDEk/видео.html
I can clearly remember handchecking in the late 90s. If I'm not mistaken,you couldn't handcheck with both hands anymore,but you could still handcheck. I remember handchecking being banned in the mid 2000s.
I guess you did more research than Andy before he made this video..sadly so far 49k people have seen this and those people will automatically believe him without researching....
1995 the Hand checking wasn't completely removed you just couldn't put your palm on the player. You could hand check with the back of your hand and forearms. 2005 After Detroit Pisons won the Nba Finals, the Nba completely removed the hand checking and so you couldn't touch the player with your hand at all
No hand-checking rule in 90s was easily defeated as players stuck their forearms instead of hands on opposing guy's body and argued they were not "hand"-checking. So NBA had to go harder on these rules in 2004 to completely remove any remaining HC tricks left in the game.
Curry not making it in the 80s is because he's injury prone and the 80s was a more physical era. Add in the difference between eras on health, fitness, and tech. He'd dominate the entire time in the 80s if given the green light to shoot like he does now. He'd just get injured and be out the league sooner than now. He's going to have a 20 year career. If he played in the 80s, he'd be out in 12-14 seasons at least. It would basically just set his prime back. People would still see how great he was, they'd just be saying, "if only he didn't get injured," like T-Mac or Rose. They wouldn't fair well in the 80s either. That warriors team in the 80s would be a perfect fit though. If Steph was drafted in 85 within 4 years he'd have Mullin, Richmond, and Tim Hardaway. They'd get Sprewell on his 7th season and hopefully they wouldn't get rid of Mitch 😔. That team would be so good, IDK maybe they'd take the attention off Steph and he wouldn't get injured.
It starts with both Magic and Bird before Stern became commissioner, because both of them saved the league from bankruptcy and are also the reason the league was able to garner a very lucrative TV deal as well
Can you make a video about Bill Russell? We all know how great of a player he is but I feel like he deserves a video from you after his passing and having his #6 jersey retired across the NBA.

It is clear that in the dates and reason for these rule (hand check and 3pt distance) changes were not for Jordan. It was for the other players. Remember that Jordan already averaged more than 30 point before the (1) flagrant rule. He also averaged less per year as his team gets better...
The Flagrant Foul rule was actually introduced in 1980-81. In 1990, they amended it and added two categories for Flagrant Fouls, and imposed stricter penalties, along with fines ($250 if ejected, haha)... and they actually started to enforce the rule which had been around for a decade. It wasn't just MJ and the Bulls ... Pat Riley had been complaining for years as well about the Celtics and Pistons playing dirty.
@@ryanr20091 It's a real shame that the NBA did not officially record blocks and steals before 1974, MJ is not the GOAT, and the GOAT debate would be very different if: 1) Wilt was still alive. 2) The league recorded steals and blocks before 1974
Cuz MJ knew it was true, and Wilt had a bigger mouth and ego than the former did, and MJ knew his place. NBA legend Bill Walton has no reason to lie about that story lol
Wilt had to understand the difference in his era and MJ's, though. The game in the 60s and 70s was frenetic and had well over 100 possessions, but by the 90s, possessions dropped dramatically and so did the points. The game got stale. Wilt's 100 point game was out of 169 team points -- a fast-paced game! But by the mid 90s, it was commonplace to see 80 or even 70 point games. Boring to a lot of the casual fans that MJ's flair brought to the sport.
@@NothingElseMattersJM Wilt led the league in scoring 7 times and rebounding 11 times, averaged 50 ppg 25 rpg in one season and is one of 2 players to win 3 straight regular season mvps, also Wilt was a much better shotblocker than Jordan, even though they did not record blocks before 1974

I do in 2K and he just dunks on everybody 💀 I had a game where he had 17 in the first half and it was all from cuts or dunks because I would hold him tight so he just does a poster so the Sim says
he also never played against modern defenses, having multiple players guard him and switch on him was illegal when he played and that's how every successful defense currently plays. he would be the man still but there's a disconnect about how defense is played now. handchecking is no where as effective as being swarmed by long armed defenders in droves.
MJ played against zones in college so he'd be just fine in today's era. He'd shoot more 3s (when he averaged 3 or more per game his % increased) and driving to the hoop is pretty easy as Centers are now driving from the perimeter with ease. He also was a superb point guard for the last 26 games of the 89' season, avg. 30ppg, over 10 assist and 9 rebounds. Most superstars today run the offense, so MJ's stats wouldn't suffer as they did running a team-offense like the Triangle.
@@kkbaby30 nah, he only had a good 3p% when the 3 point line was shortened. He sucks ass at 3s period. He also said he wouldn't work on it. Otherwise you may be correct but he wasn't a superstar in college either. I think he'd be a top 5 player in league still
I was skeptical at first when they said that MJ was a walking free throw back in the day but I watched a random game about him playing vs the Lakers in a regular season and boy it was a bore. I'm not hating on the guy but I was convinced that the NBA was protecting their most valuable asset by letting him take those FTs before he gets injured by penetrating.
That's how Jordan scored a shitload of points, the refs gave him illusion foul calls sending him to the line, the handchecking and illegal defense calls he and the Bulls got helped them a lot.
Wilt is jealous!! Always has been!! Jordan was still very dominant even before those rule changes came around!! He was going to be great regardless of whether or not those changes were coming!!

Andy Hoops not doing his research as usual. Hand checking was banned in the mid 00s dude. If you watch mid to late 90s basketball, you can still see there are clearly instances of hand checking.
It's true that it was outright banned in 2004, but the NBA had tried to minimize it's impact once in the 80s and again in the mid 90s. Those first two attempts didn't really do much to change it though. You might remember a while in the late 90s early 2000s where it was common to put your forearm in the chest of the dribbler. This was because they had gotten a bit more strict on hand checking and that was the adjustment to it. Then in 2004 they introduced freedom of movement rules and simply went too far the other direction..
Jordan was underpaid almost his entire career that's why the Chicago bulls make up to him I think in his last two season ...pippen makes more money in his contract than MJ that's why pip doesn't have the right to complain...you sign it leave with it..honor your contract...
DAVID STERN WAITED A DECADE TO STOP THE FLAGRANTS; THEN HE WENT STRAIGHT TO FIXING GAMES ..... REGULAR SEASON HOME TEAMS DON'T GET BLOWN OUT. ALL PLAYOFF SERIES GET TO SEVEN GAMES .....
Lol I remember Wilt telling MJ that they didn’t change the rules for him like they did for him!! But they did man!!! The greatest player ever demands adjustments to keep others from copying and/or using similar moves and routes!!
I obviously knew the flagrant foul and hand checking, but I totally forgot about the max contract. You're right though, Michael's ridiculous contract was directly responsible for the lockout finally happening in 1999 although to be fair that lockout was a long time coming and had been building towards that for a while.
@@puncho8799 players do it to pump up their era…the whole Jordan is GOAT is not a fact but a business motive from the nba, espn, and Nike. For whatever reason, this marketing motto was considered a fact…
The luxury tax need to change. It's unfair to the team that finds success by nurturing homegrown players into superstars, yet still punished the same as the teams with rosters consisting of nothing but nomad superstars, or even bad teams, those neglecting the rookies. There should be some incentives for teams those fall into the first group.
I'm not sure if we'll ever see a happy medium for the luxury tax, there's literal billionaire owners now so I'm sure some will be happy to offer more than other teams which would make others upset. It's also unfair to a team like the Warriors who organically built a great team but could lose solid players due to having a crazy luxury bill. So I'm not sure what the best solution would be in this scenario, they can soften the tax a bit but I'm sure others will take advantage if they do, making exceptions could also be exploited so I'm not sure what they could realistically do.
People need to stop confusing todays era being soft, to it not being fights... It being soft refers to it not being PHYSICAL anymore. There were a lot more contact back then. There were bruisers, enforcers, hand checking, no flagrants.... The fights were just a result of some of these piled up...
1. Flagrant fouls should only be used if it is egregious enough to have a player ejected!! 2. Hand checking should be legal again!! Simply touching a player shouldn’t warrant a foul!! That’s ridiculous!! 3. “Take fouls” should be classified as technical fouls!! Not personal fouls!!
In 2004-05 NBA rules says..New rules were introduced to CURTAIL hand checking..I don't understand why NBA had to State the word "CURTAIL" if it was totally banned in 1995..
I know this has nothing to do with the actual point of this video but ppl always point out how lil Pippen was making without also acknowledging that he did it to himself! How many owners would tell a guy “hey don’t sign this you’ll regret it. You can make way more money later if you do a shorter deal” he signed a 10 year low ball contract. Caused that himself
6:34 Chamberlain was so assuming with those statements, the rules changed for him were also applied on Jordan, so between the two, it was Jordan who dominated. If you recall the changed rules on Chamberlain, they were so pathetic considering his physique he should still have dominated then.
I think harden is the most recent player to force them to change so many rules. They changed how they called 3s, landing zones, and drives, and had to clarify the gather step. Harden is actually majorly responsible for making the NBA tougher than it has been in decades.
You mean they had to make shit up to allow Harden to keep doing that step back? The other stuff is because he was gaming the system with his flopping and foul baiting so they had to try and take that stuff away so other players don't start doing that same crap.
Great line by Wilt. Definitely the changes made basketball girly and more girly as more changes will come and did come. Time for another league that resembles the NBA of old where it was a man's sport.
Since they added the flagrant foul in 1991 (which is good, the incentive to play the game cleanly) and the hand-checking ban in 1995... defensive 3 sec violation on top, in 2001, is too much. Defense should be a decent collective option, not a joke like it's today. Defensive 3 sec violation could be undone.
Luka has been on record that the D3 rule is largely what makes the NBA an easier league to score in than Euroleague. With the current domination of play away from the basket it would make sense to get rid of the D3 rule and give the defense some sort of an even playing field.
3:55 Look at Mark Price, Drazen Petrovic and all 3pt shooters in the 90's. They never had the chance to play their own game. Curry would never get favored in that era of speed and driving to the basket.
I wish the flagrant foul was implemented a lot sooner, that way Jordan would've had a fighting chance to be able to win those lost series and would have won more titles than he has now. He would've nearly had 10 rings today if so. Close to Bill Russell for sure.
Also 3 second rule was implemented in 01-02 season and 5 second rule was implemented in 99 but was known as the Barkley rule Jordan had nothing to do with any of these except for Flagrant but it wasn't just him in was league wide
Hand checking wasn't banned in 95, they just mended it and it wasn't because Jordan😂2001 zone defense was allowed and defenders were no longer allowed to initiate contact with their hands and forearms. 2004-2005 is when they band hand checking completely. The rules were changed to give the offense the advantage because they said scoring sells tickets.
Handchecking wasnt eliminated in 95 cause of MJ, he wasnt even in the league when they passed thr rule. The rule was actually made in 79 but wasnt being enforced, and in 95 they tried to enforce but refs would barely call it at all and players were still allowed to put their arms on the ball handler. It wasnt fully eliminated until the 2004 season where if they saw you hancheck it would be called everytime. Idk why people believe the 95 handchecking rule was made for jordan when like i said he wasnt even in the LEAGUE!!
A whole book was not written about the Jordan Rules. The book 'The Jordan Rules' was authored by Chicago Tribune reporter Sam Smith, released in 1992. It was about the Bulls' 1990-91 season and Jordan's role and influence on the team and his teammates. The fact that it shares a title with the Pistons' 'rules' for defending Jordan is a coincidence.

Maybe I'm wrong but for the 1st 2 that you said, The thing about the 5 second rule And the 3 second rule To me both of these just seem like logical rules to make To keep the game moving, Also I do not think that the 3 second rule limited the amount of impact that big men have in the game I think they just have to play better rather than standing right in front of the hoop
There was already a rule which was similar to the three second rule (illegal defense), but it actually applied for a much bigger part of the court; not just the paint. Limiting 'illegal defense' to just the paint made it easier to play defense.
@@mve0172 The old illegal didn’t mean you have to be arms length from a defender. That’s the modern illegal defensive 3.
The ban of the defensive 3 seconds it's not a logical rule to make; they cancelled the rule to prevent zone defense and make the game more flashy, given that now the paint was open to high flying wing players. Zone defense made kind of a comback in recent years but it's mostly a gimmick and works just because players don't know what to do against it, the paint it's still wide open and it would be easy for a european coach to tear apart the whole scheme.
The rise of 3pt shooting would've killed zone defense organically and that would've been natural, not some arbitrary rule change.
They couldn’t stand under the hoop before. The defensive 3 second rule came in to replace the illegal defense rule
@@davidem759
Players and coaches in the NCAA and around the globe ("FIBA") are able to break down zones : cuts, motions, ball movements, etc.
All NBA players competed against zones defenses prior to the NBA.
In FIBA, zones are not a base defense, they can be use to change the pace of the game, but you don't rely all game on a zone, it would be a huge mistake (because, there are exceptional shooters there).
Knew of these, but the Bulls salary list was shocking. Made me sympathize with Pippen just a little bit. He made less than Harper, Longley and Kukoc? Crazy.
There was a time he was only the *6th* highest paid player on his own team, and about 150th 'highest' paid in the league. It was almost criminal.
AND extremely valuable for the rest of the Bulls roster. He was a perennial all-Defense team selection, and eventually all-NBA first team multiple times as well. By being able to pay him so little AND keep him, the Bulls had a lot of salary room to pay all the role players more. The same was true to a lesser degree for Jordan as well. He didn't make huge money until his last two years (mostly in the $3m a year range all the rest of the time).
So by the salary rules of the day, the Bulls had their best two players on the cheap, and could load up talent in the other spots.
Don't feel bad for him. He was advised to sign a shorter contract that would have allowed for him to negotiate a more lucrative contract later, but he opted for the longer contract for personal security. Basically he decided not to bet on himself and lost a lot of money because of it.

When was Hand Checking Added to the NBA? The NBA implemented Hand Checking during the 2004-2005 season. In efforts to decrease hand-checking, clarify blocking fouls and implement the defensive three-second rule. These rules were added in an attempt to “open up the game” (Official NBA Rules History). Everywhere I look it says the official enforcement of hand check was this year after Jordan's retirement so I am not sure about your info in this video about hand checking being illegal and strictly enforced when you say, I definitely watched 90's basketball and even on the shot against Utah and Russell, Russell is hand checking Jordan to start the play. As I say every source I am finding says 2004 is when the implementation and enforcement of hand checking came about.
Handchecking is absolutely overrated and has been debunked so many times, the lies and myths have been exposed: ruclips.net/video/TEF1lVcUDEk/видео.html
I can clearly remember handchecking in the late 90s. If I'm not mistaken,you couldn't handcheck with both hands anymore,but you could still handcheck. I remember handchecking being banned in the mid 2000s.
I guess you did more research than Andy before he made this video..sadly so far 49k people have seen this and those people will automatically believe him without researching....
1995 the Hand checking wasn't completely removed you just couldn't put your palm on the player. You could hand check with the back of your hand and forearms. 2005 After Detroit Pisons won the Nba Finals, the Nba completely removed the hand checking and so you couldn't touch the player with your hand at all
@@dudoban What the hell is this then: ruclips.net/video/kaSZF5onHco/видео.html
Can't touch anyone ? Bullshit
No hand-checking rule in 90s was easily defeated as players stuck their forearms instead of hands on opposing guy's body and argued they were not "hand"-checking. So NBA had to go harder on these rules in 2004 to completely remove any remaining HC tricks left in the game.
Andy Hoops you don't mind uploading a video about how the 2004 Detroit Pistons implemented the Kobe Rules?
I forgot about that.. yeah..
Yeah shooting the Lakers outbof the finals
Curry not making it in the 80s is because he's injury prone and the 80s was a more physical era. Add in the difference between eras on health, fitness, and tech. He'd dominate the entire time in the 80s if given the green light to shoot like he does now. He'd just get injured and be out the league sooner than now. He's going to have a 20 year career. If he played in the 80s, he'd be out in 12-14 seasons at least. It would basically just set his prime back. People would still see how great he was, they'd just be saying, "if only he didn't get injured," like T-Mac or Rose. They wouldn't fair well in the 80s either.
That warriors team in the 80s would be a perfect fit though. If Steph was drafted in 85 within 4 years he'd have Mullin, Richmond, and Tim Hardaway. They'd get Sprewell on his 7th season and hopefully they wouldn't get rid of Mitch 😔. That team would be so good, IDK maybe they'd take the attention off Steph and he wouldn't get injured.

That's true! David Stern for all his faults was going to make the NBA Global and he did..

The Flagrant Foul rule was actually introduced in 1980-81.

Wilt had to understand the difference in his era and MJ's, though. The game in the 60s and 70s was frenetic and had well over 100 possessions, but by the 90s, possessions dropped dramatically and so did the points. The game got stale. Wilt's 100 point game was out of 169 team points -- a fast-paced game! But by the mid 90s, it was commonplace to see 80 or even 70 point games.

he also never played against modern defenses, having multiple players guard him and switch on him was illegal when he played and that's how every successful defense currently plays.
he would be the man still but there's a disconnect about how defense is played now. handchecking is no where as effective as being swarmed by long armed defenders in droves.
MJ played against zones in college so he'd be just fine in today's era. He'd shoot more 3s (when he averaged 3 or more per game his % increased) and driving to the hoop is pretty easy as Centers are now driving from the perimeter with ease. He also was a superb point guard for the last 26 games of the 89' season, avg. 30ppg, over 10 assist and 9 rebounds. Most superstars today run the offense, so MJ's stats wouldn't suffer as they did running a team-offense like the Triangle.
@@kkbaby30 nah, he only had a good 3p% when the 3 point line was shortened. He sucks ass at 3s period. He also said he wouldn't work on it. Otherwise you may be correct but he wasn't a superstar in college either. I think he'd be a top 5 player in league still

It's true that it was outright banned in 2004, but the NBA had tried to minimize it's impact once in the 80s and again in the mid 90s. Those first two attempts didn't really do much to change it though. You might remember a while in the late 90s early 2000s where it was common to put your forearm in the chest of the dribbler. This was because they had gotten a bit more strict on hand checking and that was the adjustment to it. Then in 2004 they introduced freedom of movement rules and simply went too far the other direction..

It's also unfair to a team like the Warriors who organically built a great team but could lose solid players due to having a crazy luxury bill. So I'm not sure what the best solution would be in this scenario, they can soften the tax a bit but I'm sure others will take advantage if they do, making exceptions could also be exploited so I'm not sure what they could realistically do.

I think harden is the most recent player to force them to change so many rules. They changed how they called 3s, landing zones, and drives, and had to clarify the gather step. Harden is actually majorly responsible for making the NBA tougher than it has been in decades.
took a page from Rodman. Harden is a copy cat
You mean they had to make shit up to allow Harden to keep doing that step back? The other stuff is because he was gaming the system with his flopping and foul baiting so they had to try and take that stuff away so other players don't start doing that same crap.
Great line by Wilt. Definitely the changes made basketball girly and more girly as more changes will come and did come. Time for another league that resembles the NBA of old where it was a man's sport.

Kinda nice to refute Wilt Chamberlain telling MJ did not change the NBA rules and he did
I prefer the hard fouls and the hand check though.
I was today years old (29) when I found out there wasn't a 3 second defense violation until the 90s
Funny how Wilt says the rule changes favored MJ, as a driver/slasher, as he dominated in the post. Good try Wilt.
The pistons, starting with their coach, were the dirtiest team I’ve seen in any sport.
Since they added the flagrant foul in 1991 (which is good, the incentive to play the game cleanly) and the hand-checking ban in 1995... defensive 3 sec violation on top, in 2001, is too much. Defense should be a decent collective option, not a joke like it's today. Defensive 3 sec violation could be undone.
The defensive 3 second violation existed as *"illegal defense"* in the 90's, watch this: ruclips.net/video/6v_PaSn2Ygo/видео.html
Luka has been on record that the D3 rule is largely what makes the NBA an easier league to score in than Euroleague. With the current domination of play away from the basket it would make sense to get rid of the D3 rule and give the defense some sort of an even playing field.
I’ve never been this early . Hi Andy!
3:55 Look at Mark Price, Drazen Petrovic and all 3pt shooters in the 90's. They never had the chance to play their own game. Curry would never get favored in that era of speed and driving to the basket.
mark price and mahmoud abdul rauf were curry like players in 90s

I wish the flagrant foul was implemented a lot sooner, that way Jordan would've had a fighting chance to be able to win those lost series and would have won more titles than he has now. He would've nearly had 10 rings today if so. Close to Bill Russell for sure.
Them gargoyle hands on the thumbnail is OD 🤣
Also 3 second rule was implemented in 01-02 season and 5 second rule was implemented in 99 but was known as the Barkley rule Jordan had nothing to do with any of these except for Flagrant but it wasn't just him in was league wide
Hand checking wasn't banned in 95, they just mended it and it wasn't because Jordan😂2001 zone defense was allowed and defenders were no longer allowed to initiate contact with their hands and forearms. 2004-2005 is when they band hand checking completely. The rules were changed to give the offense the advantage because they said scoring sells tickets.
Handchecking wasnt eliminated in 95 cause of MJ, he wasnt even in the league when they passed thr rule. The rule was actually made in 79 but wasnt being enforced, and in 95 they tried to enforce but refs would barely call it at all and players were still allowed to put their arms on the ball handler. It wasnt fully eliminated until the 2004 season where if they saw you hancheck it would be called everytime. Idk why people believe the 95 handchecking rule was made for jordan when like i said he wasnt even in the LEAGUE!!
A video on NBA lockouts?
Jordan's contract was not crazy because he was under paid 4 years..and it was 1 yr..Davis just signed 3 yrs fir $189 million..thats crazy
A whole book was not written about the Jordan Rules.
The book 'The Jordan Rules' was authored by Chicago Tribune reporter Sam Smith, released in 1992. It was about the Bulls' 1990-91 season and Jordan's role and influence on the team and his teammates. The fact that it shares a title with the Pistons' 'rules' for defending Jordan is a coincidence.
Tiny bit of research would've told you this, although any real basketball fan would already know.
What exactly is "hand-checking"?
Hello from the great nation of Latvia
From 88 to 98 Shaq was the only player to leave during free agency? And he gave s*** to Kevin Durant?? Damn
Shaq didnt join forces with another MVP and a team who made the finals the previous yr
@@nonamewillbegiven6847 This. The Lakers were not a great team at the time and Shaq simply wanted to play in that city for that franchise. They happened to build a great team around him after he joined.
Great vid as usual …. We all have opinions but MJ is edged in Stone and history can’t be edited or diluted lol ppl opinions ain’t facts but championships ring bells
Cant say great video when he was wrong about hand checking
My beef is players should stick with their team they sign with until their contact is up aka thin skin KD
None of these rules had anything to do with Michael Jordan
