    4 point line is such a cancerous idea and I immediately judge anyone who presents that as a serious idea

  2. EtTabellarius

    Kawhi’s responses are always the same as mine and I love it. I wouldn’t know how to deal with media if I were famous lol.

  3. UncleColli

    Adopt the euro basket interference rules, IMO

    > “Nah, I’m not saying that. Fundamentals are already outta the game.”

    Preach Kawhi, preach

    Kawhi: “No stupid questions from the media”

  6. Sprinklings

    This is hilarious, Kawhi seems like such a cool guy, still waiting for him on PGs pod

  7. FallacyFrank

    If the offensive player initiates the contact, it’s not a foul.

    If a players intent in a play is to draw a foul, then by definition their intent was not to take a shot and it’s not a shooting foul.

  8. DontBanMe_IWasJoking

    he asks what people usually say for training data. Kawhi AI confirmed

  9. Designated free throw shooter is an awful idea..

    I just don’t understand why the NBA is infatuated with making scoring so easy we will eventually see a team score 200 points.  Not only that but how fans play dumb saying it’s just skill level has gone way up and that’s the only reason.   The game has turned into a ballet.  Like they are trying to eliminate defense all together 

  11. Always love how Kawhi never gives anything to these reporters

  12. Sheratain

    I kinda wish he’d actually engaged with this question. Like, I’m curious what “fundamentals” he’s talking about. Maybe there’s a rule change that would help get those “fundamentals” back?

  13. KingOfWeTheNorth

    Yeah, but I want on the fly subs like hockey

  14. GooseMay0

    The woman asking the question said her change would be to add a designated free throw shooter? That’s a fucking awful idea. Ya, lets make people who can’t shoot free throws not accountable…

  15. darknecross

    No automatic free throws for a non-shooting foul. Instead the fouling player must stand on the sideline at half court until their team brings the ball across the line.

    Make them play 5v4 and earn the points. Doesn’t slow the game down like FTs and makes penalties more entertaining and strategic. Imagine the hype if a team playing 4v5 stops a game-winner. Or if they go 5v4 and hit a 3 instead of two FTs.

    >Nobody’s tryna sit back and uh, mimic the rulebook, uh…

    Why is he acting like she asked him to do an impression? LOL

  17. volantredx

    Bring back hand checking. It’d be the number one way to allow the defense some real control over the offensive tempo.

  18. zincinzincout

    What one rule would you add, Kawhi?

    “Just hoop. Any non hooping activities gotta go.”

  19. UngaMeSmart

    change the points from 2/3 to 3/4. change free throws to one attempt for the set. solves so many issues.

  20. Zestyclose-Choice732

    I think the easiest non-game breaking answer is widen the court, but thats not necessarily a rule.

    You see a lot of dudes step the back leg out of bounds on the sides when driving from the 3 point line.

    Would just reduce a small small percentage of OOB calls.

  21. Room_Temp_Coffee

    Just call carries and travels correctly

  22. asparagusbruh

    Kawhi is my favorite basketball player theres not an ounce of fake in his interviews

  23. I would widen the court so that the three point line can be the same distance on the corners.

    It doesn’t change any rule, but you reduce the statistical advantage of shooting from the corners and make the court bigger to allow for the bigger faster players to make their moves while opening up midcourt opportunities.

  24. Notthesenator

    They should have refs in a booth watch every play closely and then tally up the ACTUAL fouls and then have teams shoot the cumulative free throws at the end of each quarter

  25. kyosukedei

    yep. for all the constant saying that players are more skilled in todays game, it feels like its all just shooting.

  26. Justice502

    Honestly taking away the 3PT line would be more interesting
