A few words of advice to NBA players — when you’re dunking, avoid hitting anyone else in the head with the basketball. If you do, the ball will bounce back through the net and the refs will nullify the basket. It’s happened twice now, because James Naismith didn’t have the foresight to make a rule telling referees that dunks should count if they go through the basket. Kinda botched that one, Jimbo.
The question is why aren’t more defenders blocking shots with their head just below the net?
Because then it would be defensive goaltending and the basket would still count.
The REAL question here is what the hell happened to the Obligatory Sports Babe? I mean, why can’t this be reviewed like if a player’s foot is on the three point line?
This makes no sense at all!!!! David Stern what are you doing to the world??
