Description

The NBA's new hand-contact rule is EXACTLY what the league needed. Dylan Brooks was out there playing hockey, not basketball - whacking Steph's shooting hand like it owed him money.⁣ ⁣ This isn't about making defense easier. It's about protecting players and keeping the game pure. You can still contest shots, just don't try to break someone's wrist doing it.⁣ ⁣ Movement shooters are about to EAT this season. When you know defenders can't hack your follow-through, your confidence skyrockets. Even injured, Curry shot 39% from three against Houston while getting mauled.⁣ ⁣ Defenders need to adapt: get your hand up and out, contest at release, don't swipe down hard. Simple basketball fundamentals.⁣ ⁣ The league got this one right.
