Came across this article and it made me curious to see what others thoughts are on the subject. Personally I believe the NBA needs to implement a rule to get rid of this tactic. It seems like a cheap shot for teams to take and ruins the flow of the game in my opinion. I don't quite agree with one of the authors negatives of imposing a rule, shooting as a fundamental of the game. A guy playing center is bringing a total different skill set and natural ability on to the floor versus a shooting guard. Having a guy with hands like Shaq, Howard, Jordan, etc shooting with a basketball is a lot different than Curry, Irving, Korver, etc. Just seems like a cheap strategy to me, but I'm curious to hear other opinions.
