The earliest rules of the NBA were not as many as they are today, so detailed, and the NBA was simple and rough at the beginning, but as the individual abilities of some stars were too prominent, they were so prominent that others could not play, so the league had to "target" these people to modify the rules to limit their performances, which also came into being with the historical development of basketball! Today, let's talk about the bigwigs who asked the league to change the rules.
1. O'Neill - allows for joint defense tactics and three-second violations in the penalty area
When a legendary center like O'Neal emerged who could dominate the interior, the NBA found that they were far behindIn order to limit O'Neal's play, the NBA successively modified the reasonable collision zone under the basket to allow joint defense and three-second violations in the restricted areaIn addition, the league also responded to O'Neal's poor free throw, stipulating that the final two minutes of the game were executed for fouls on people without the ball.
2. Barkley - Back singles must not exceed 5 seconds
Barkley is known as the "flying pig in the air".In that era when inside behemoths were rampant, he was able to take 1The height of 98 is like a fish in water in the forbidden area, relying on his strong ass。Barkley's hips are not the biggest in the league, but they are by far the most powerful, perhaps with the advent of the small-ball era, it is difficult for future generations to reach his height, it can be said that there is no one before or afterAs a result, when he was playing with the ball and his back to the singles, almost no one could cut him offThe NBA had to make changes for thatThe requirement that players should not play more than five seconds with their backs also prevents Barkley from using his hips to open the way and arch all the way to the basket to score.
3. Chamberlain – Expand the three-second zone to 16 feet
If the first two are legendary centers, then this one can be said to be a prehistoric monster, maybe the new fans don't have any feelings about the domination of the big handsome, the only thing they know about it may be the highlights of the highlights, but everyone isThe miracle of 100 points in a single game that he scored that year is still talked aboutAlthough we can't see him playing, we can feel the dominance of the coach from the time when the rules were forced to change for him, and Chamberlain had few opponents in his time. Given his terrifying height and explosiveness, there are even fewer interior players who can compete with him, and the NBA has expanded the three-second zone from 12 feet to 16 feet, at the same time,In order to prevent Chamberlain from scoring with a direct dunk, it is stipulated that players must not throw the ball directly over the rebound when serving the baseline ballIn addition to this, in order to limit Chamberlain's secondary offense under the basket,The NBA also has rules for offensive interference.
4. Artest – The jersey number must be used for four years before it can be replaced
Artest, who is now renamed Ci Shiping, was also a well-known thorn in the head, although there were a few more unbearable fights (the more famous Auburn Hills Palace incident), but this does not hide his contribution to charity, interestinglyMr. World Peace borders on paranoia about changing numbers, maybe it's not the player who uses the most numbers, the first is Moses Malone who changed his numbers a total of eight times, but he definitely let the NBA introduce rules to restrict it because of the change of numbers, I'm afraid this is the only one. To this end, the league stipulates that a player must have played for a team for four years before he can change his number, unless he is traded, that's why Artest changed his jersey number to No. 37 again when he joined the Lakers.
5. Jordan – The league allows players to wear their own shoes
How can there be no Qiao gang leader on this kind of list,This time, we don't talk about the much-criticized Jordan rule that was set up to limit Jordan's offense, nor the league's anti-isolation singles ruleThe next point to say may not be to talk about the rules, but it does make the league make concessions, becauseAt that time, the league was all in white sneakers, and Jordan wore a variety of brightly colored sneakers with the help of Nike, which he endorsed, which was out of step with the league at the time, and for this, the league threatened to pay a fine if he continued to wear such sneakers, butNike willingly paid the fine for Jordan out of his own pocket, and the league's fine amount also increased from $1,000 to $5,000 a game, but that didn't stop them, although they spent millions of dollars in fines, but successfully made a wave of advertising and entered the NBA sneaker marketEventually, the league compromised and stopped asking about the players' shoesNike also used this as a gimmick to create the classic color of the sneaker AJ 1 black and red in the sneaker market.
There are many things that can be remembered as a player, such as winning the championship, winning the MVP and winning the points king, etcBut I think it's great to be able to force the NBA to change the specs because of a certain player, going down in history by changing the rules, doesn't that mean that this player's dominance in a certain aspect has reached a position that no one can shake?
