    In honor of Dikembe Mutombo, the NBA needs to NOT call technical fouls if a player blocks a shot and then wags their finger. The Dikembe exception to the no taunting rule.

  2. BetweenTheBuzzAndMe

    Mark would average 20/15 if there was no offensive basket interference, that was a very obvious answer for him lol

  3. downinCarolina

    Is it just me or is tyrese maxey one of the last people who would worry about fines? He only has two techs over four years. Does he have closeted anger issues?

  4. BigGrimDog

    lol All the deep shooters asking for a 4pt line.

  5. photo_ama

    I like no defensive 3 seconds. Would love to see how that would change things.

  6. achumumu

    This is how I find out Frank Kaminsky is back in the league huh.

    First jump ball is so dumb. It’s literally irrelevant who wins. Should be changed to FIBA rule.

    Edit: I mean the rules regarding jump balls and thus the irrelevance of the first jump ball should be changed to FIBA rules.

  8. EVERGREEN_ETERNAL

    All of the Buck’s answers are so on character lol ofc Brook wants to yell at the refs more 😭

  9. Teenagemutantxmen

    Coaches & refs will be able to smack another. Is what I’d add 😂 and owners of teams and team captains get to fine the refs too

  10. just_one_random_guy

    The 4 point line would be such a joke, I seriously hope they never add that into the NBA

  11. Mr_Cromer

    I am on board with making the person who got fouled shoot free throws

  12. Akidnamedkenny

    Bro book has been keeping shit so bland. He’s saying the most agreeable answers these days so he don’t get roasted

  13. JIDglazer42

    “you know the one where like you can only take a couple steps”

  14. Suspicious_North6119

    Adding the 4pt line? These guys know Curry is still playing?

  15. itsahmemario

    Is Tyrese Maxey ever not smiling? That looks like one chill dude

  16. Muskarat

    I’d stop watching the nba if they added a 4 pt line

  17. elp44blue

    How about they call travel and carry and also crack down on flopping and excessive screaming when attempting a shot to get a foul call

  18. Devin Booker choice of headband and wristband always makes him look like a single mom in the 80s about to do aerobics.

  19. Does Brook sound like a dude from the WWE here? I feel like he does but I can’t put my finger on it.

  20. Chill on the tech fouls.

    Someone claps, points, someone celebrates too much, swings on a rim, looks at a ref. A player getting a tech for being in a push-shove where they clearly you aren’t the aggressor is so annoying.

  21. TheMightyKunkel

    Giannis is dumb for that. The whole point of letting any player take the FT is that it prevents teams from cobtinuing to to exploit take fouls with a low risk.

    If your fouling just to stop the play, then it’s not a basketball play anyway and you shouldn’t be able to pick who will shoot the shots.

    Make a play on the ball or take the L.

  22. onamonapizza

    Book like “y’all ain’t catchin’ me with your click bait”

  23. Sct_Brn_MVP

    Remove defensive 3 seconds and allow play of the ball as soon as it touches the rim like in FIBA
    Less/no TV timeouts
    Start games on time as scheduled
    Less technical fouls from butthurt refs
    Tighter regulation of the gather step
    No foul if the shooter initiates contact egregiously

  24. exportedaussie

    Make dunks worth 3 points. More posters

  25. farazormal

    They lack vision. Make it legal to wet Willy someone. Make bouncing the ball off the ground into the hopp worth 6 points. Ban dribbling with the left hand. Theres a giant tortoise roaming around on the floor and if you touch him with the ball you can have 6 players for that possession. There’s so many great options.

  26. RequirementLeading12

    Dame’s energy has been so low since joining the bucks.

  27. MoanLart

    Damian going through it. Divorce is no joke

  28. Blvck_sunshine

    Take out the no taunting excessive celebration rule. Anything goes

  29. jeffincredible2021

    Nobody is saying we should bring hand checking back

  30. Bills_Mafia_4_Life

    They should switch to FIBA rules and actually referee the game as those officials do. Olympic basketball is a-lot more tolerable to watch in my opinion

  31. blessed_by_fortune

    There should be rules for the ref, if there is blatant bias, favoritism, or blatant corruption. Punishments, warnings, or straight up bans would be nice.

  32. Alsleet1986

    Reserve techs for personal insults that cross the line. But if a player does a pro wrestling taunt, calls somebody soft, or says “come on, ref” that can’t be a tech.

  33. mysterymanatx

    Giannis made a great point about take fouls, and no one here has a comment on it
