Will there be basketball rule changes in the future?

[the Q]

Unpopular take, but I’d get rid of the jump stop. It’s a completely illogical carve out.

The rule book says when you lift your pivot foot and it comes back to the ground without a pass or shot attempt, it’s a travel.

It’s such an arbitrary carve out to the rule.

1. Internet giving everybody more options.
2. BBall being a gun and crash game with rampant carrying and travel make it boring.
3. Some fans don't want to be told they are bad people.
4. Complicit in CCP human rights abuses.

In combination, these 4 will keep reducing the numbers for the NBA. It's well past its apogee. They're never coming back fully. They are focused on stopping the hemorrhaging.

Ha. Good lord.

The reason for so many 3’s is the realization that 3 is a lot more than 2. If there were 4’s and 5’s instead there wouldn’t be as many long shots. But nobody wants to count by 4s and 5s lol
