     The G League will be experimenting with 1 shot fouls. If you are fouled shooting a 2 pt shot, you will shoot 1 FT for a max of 2 points. On a 3 pt shot, 1 FT for a max of 3 pts. I guess if miss, 0 pts. Interesting. I believe the Big 3 was using that rule, but am not sure. 

    Speaking of Big 3… RIP Andre Emmett. One of my favorite college players of all time at Texas Tech. Murdered in front of his home in Dallas. Sucks big D.

     Won’t this just encourage fouls and more stoppages?

       especially as this is being hailed as a way to speed up games.

     This is stupid.

    Respect to Andre Emmett though. Pretty sure I still have one of his rookie cards with Memphis.

     God Bless all, no.

    Want to speed up the games? Stop calling 9000 ticky tack fouls. If you breathe on a guy 35 feet from a basket these days it’s a foul. Stop that crap, and you won’t be shooting 9000 free throws.

    This is just a screwball rule that will cause more unintended consequences than it will fix.

     Steph Curry said they might have to change the 50/40/90 accomplishment

     Just saw the Andre Emmett video. Really heartbreaking. I really would love to hear more about this. Did he know his killers or was it random?

    I don’t see why people are so hell-bent on changing the NBA rules or amount of games. The game has been around for over a century and works just fine.

    Minor things like Hardens 5x step backs and flopping can definitely go, but things that actually effect player statistics like free throws, amount of games, 4pt half court shots, etc. these should not be allowed. It’s not fair to players in the past who played with unchanged rules.

    Pretty soon we going to have asterisks next to every stat, a before and after rule change record holder. No one wants to see that.

     This is really going to F-up bad free throw shooters percentages.

     The consecutivly made free throws records would never be broken. The record of 97 could take 2 seasons worth of fouls to get.
