re: Can someone explain to me the significance of hand checking in the NBA?

Fair enough I’m a bit excited after a 2 over round at Streamsong so forgive my wording.


During the making of the thread it turned into a Lebron thing but it was originally supposed to be a question about why people think hand checking would stop these modern guys.

I don’t think anyone says it was impossible to score before hand check rules

A frick ton of people say this in regards to how modern players would have fared in the tough era of hand checking.

I didn’t randomly dream this up. I watched a lot of clips of successful hand checking and thought to myself, “oh my word, Lebron would murder these people.”
