NBA Rules You Didn't Know Exist..

what if I told you this jersey number is banned from the NBA or that there's a four point line you've never seen before these are 17 NBA rules you didn't know exists and first there's a dunk that's so dangerous it was banned by the NBA and I [Applause] don't know yeah this dude Shaq was dunking so hard he was destroying entire Hoops putting everyone around him in danger so in 1993 the NBA was forced to create the no shatter rule which says if a dunk shatters the backboard the point isn't counted and the player gets

a technical foul man Shaq changed the NBA but so did our next rule cause in the NBA you could be forced to pay millions of dollars just for being thick see you in 2022 Zion Williamson reached over 300 pounds and became the fattest player in the NBA so when he went to renegotiate his contract the Pelicans agreed to pay Zion but with just one little condition a weight Clause that stated Zion legally has to stay under 295 pounds and if he doesn't he'll have no choice put to Fork over millions of dollars damn I mean

they got a rule for everything like the NBA even made a rule for when an entire team dies on January 17 1960 the Minneapolis Lakers were flying back home from a game in St Louis when all of a sudden the Lakers were in a free fall giving the pilot only one option a crash landing now miraculously everyone did end up Surviving but this near-death experience raised a serious question for the NBA what would happen if an entire team died at once well after this incident the league Drew up their craziest rule yet the disaster draft

which basically states that if more than five players on a team die the NBA would host an emergency draft where the affected team would take players from other teams until they fill their roster yeah they really got a rule for when play players die that's just crazy but you know what else is crazy the fact that in the NBA there's a rule that bans farting yeah in the late 2000s NBA players were being terrorized by the dirtiest man in the league Dwight Howard because this dude was farting like it was his job [Music] oh no

Dwight was farting so much it became his reputation players around the league were calling him the greatest farter in the NBA yes they actually said that but eventually it started to piss off his teammates so in 2009 the Orlando Magic made the no flatulence policy which made it against the rules the fart during team activities all because quote Dwight really likes to cut the cheese damn they farted come on Dwight you out here making them ban farts that's ridiculous but not as ridiculous as our next rule cause in the NBA yo mama jokes are strictly

forbidden see this is Don nobler Maverick Super Fan and yo mama joke Enthusiast and in 2018 Thomason Courtside watching the Mavs play the Clippers when he started talking trash to Patrick Beverly and Pat was having none of it so he fired back saying you but that's when Don went for the kill roast and Pat Bev with just three words yo mama and that is when all hell broke loose [Applause] not very nice gonna get a technical for something yeah and after a dislike that the NBA had to do something so not only did they band

on from the arena for a year but the very next season they literally made yo mama jokes illegal saying we've added a rule that makes comments about a player's mom something will pull a fan out of their seat for oh really well you could pull me out of my seat but you'll never pull me out of is your mama but anyways we gotta talk about referees cause it's literally against the rules to laugh at a ref yeah in 2007 Tim Duncan was on the bench just minding his own business when this happened this is the

free throw and a technical foul call I think it's on Tim Duncan sitting on the bench Tim Duncan just got a foul for laughing at the rap but it didn't stop there because a few minutes later one low giggle got him ejected saying Roberto moving and top of it doesn't like that one either and another technical foul and this is when Duncan Duncan's out of the game he swung Duncan out of the game that's the second tactical which is an automatic ejection as we've been showing you Duncan's been laughing babies Crawford felt he was showing

him up by constantly laughing what the hell uh that Egghead went too far what's next you can't even look at a ref oh yeah that's a rule too time out L.A whack get out [Applause] get away from me Steve he didn't say a word technical foul Wallace he's gone no not right I asked him three times I mean he did ask him to stop three times the guy kind of had it coming and so did Dennis Rodman because I bet you didn't know that he Force the NBA to ban his jersey number back in 2000

Rahman signed with the Mavericks during a meeting with team owner Mark Cuban he really wanted to have 69. as his jersey number and Mark was down so the very next day he ordered 10 000 Ramen jerseys with 69 on it but then the league found out they weren't too pleased with Robin's number so they put it to a vote and by the end the NBA decided to ban number 69 leaving Ramen with no choice but to wear number 70. man they really do got a rule for everything and no one knows this better than Quran

Butler because this dude created the weirdest rule in NBA history see in the 2000s Quran had a couple of screws loose because this dude was obsessed with chewing straws got a handful on me right now the nearest Burger King McDonald's grab straws grab a handful of straws start getting a little stringy yeah you gotta spit it out I do it at home my daughter even does it sometimes I don't do these I don't do 7-Eleven straws anything McDonald's Burger King Jesus this guy was getting bricked up over some plastic but for Quran chewing straws was

a way to calm his nerves so he even started doing it during his games averaging a ridiculous 12 straws per game first half I can go through at least six in the first step yeah he's so 12 a game but eventually the NBA got a little concerned because they thought all that chewing might make him choke so in 2010 they decided to save Quran from himself creating the no straw rule which literally says players are banned from chewing straws during NBA games ridiculous but look man sometimes players make their own rules and if you don't

follow them you'll get your ass beat C in 2021 the Thunder were beating the Lakers by five points with just four seconds left I mean the game is already in the back but when Darius basically got the ball he did something dirty and they throw it away and there's the capital the bow on it was Baisley dunking it oh and Ross is telling her Ross is in baisley's face telling them not to do that see Dairy has broken Unwritten rule between players which says if your team's basically won and it's just a matter of time

you gotta dribble the clock out and not score because it's disrespectful as hell so Russ just had to put Darius in check today the NBA needed to put his players in check too that's why there's a rule that bans them from using Twitter see in the late 2000s when Twitter first launched players were addicted immediately and I started tweeting some crazy stuff you had Shaq announcing when he farts Katie threatening people hell uh some players were even tweeting during their own games so in 2009 the NBA put their foot down creating the Twitter rule which

bans players from tweeting during workouts and allows the league to find them thousands of dollars for offensive tweets man these guys got to be careful with their tweets but what they really need to look out for is other players cheating see in 2016 it was Hawk's first rockets and late in the first quarter Paul Millsap is at the free throw line when you've gotten a bit of uh sticky situation early in the game and Millsaps telling him to look at the ball must be sticky yeah someone sprayed the ball with this weird sticky stuff called

stick em and Not only was this gross as hell but it also broke an NBA rule that says altering a basketball in any way is strictly prohibited so players were left with one question who the hell covers their balls and glue well after rolling back the tape the perp was finally revealed and it was none other than Dwight Howard Paul Millsap threw the ball back to the rest of the white Howard when he came to the sideline he sprayed some stuff on his hand that made the ball very sticky and when Twitter found out Dwight

was cooked because people thought he was cheating and they tried to cancel the man so the very next day Dwight was left with no choice but to defend himself I've never been a type of player that has to do something illegal to win It's upsetting but I can't control it and using it using uh the spray for the last five five years I've never had this spray I've never did anything to try to hide what I was doing but in the end it was all good because instead of finding or suspending Dwight the NBA just

let him off with a warning yeah this dude Dwight could do anything he wants with his balls well anything except touch them because what if I told you that in the NBA touching yourself is illegal yeah see in the 2004 playoffs it was Kings first Timberwolves and with Minnesota up won with just 30 seconds left Sam Cassell got the ball and went nuts the cell three-point lead that's a tough shot Sam Cassell yeah this guy let him both hang out Mark in the beginning of a nut grabbing epidemic because from that point on players across

the NBA joined hands and started grabbing their junk like it was their job but in 2010 the NBA had enough so they created a rule that says players who grabbed their crotch can be fined up to 25 000 and with a punishment like that you'd think players would stop touching themselves but no these dudes stay grabbing their balls left and right and it's costing them a sack cause since the Rule's been enforced players have been fined over 200 000 for it man the lead needs to loosen up a little bit it's like they hate having

fun like I bet you had no idea that they even banned trolling yeah in 2022 Russell Westbrook played like trash so during a game against the Kings he got trolled for it by the entire Arena because every time he missed a shot the DJ played this get off early so good for them offensively the young man is hustling Westbrook with a deep three ball land with the rebound and that's what happens when Fox pushes Tempo great things happen if you run with them they'll run the Titan and after doing this all game long Kings topped

it off by awarding Russ the ice cold player of the game which is pretty funny but not to the NBA because the very next day they told the kings that trolling players during a game is now officially against the rules but look trolling is the last thing players should worry about they gotta watch out for Steph Curry instead cause this dude is changing the rules of basketball see over the years Stefan shot the lights out averaging 45 from the three-point line and eventually teams started wondering how the hell can we shoot like that well to

play like staff you gotta practice like Steph which is why in 2017 teams started adding four point lines to their practice facilities yeah I'm talking the Hawks the Bucks hell even the Sixers had Ben Simmons pulling up from half court damn I can't believe my man hit that but what I really can't believe is our next rule the fact that women can play in the NBA yeah and not only that but there's even a woman that's made it to the league see this is Lucia Harris as she was a beast in college because at six

foot three she averaged 26 points and 14 rebounds a game but after graduating in 1977 there really wasn't an opportunity for Lucia it's not like the WNBA was around so she decided to take her degree get a normal job and start a family but a few months later everything changed when Lucia got a phone call from the New Orleans Jazz saying they selected her in the 1977 NBA draft and they were ready to fly her out to their training camp until Lucia told him she was pregnant so unfortunately she had to say no to the

NBA but her story doesn't end there because even though she never played in the NBA in 1992 the league decided to a doctor into the Hall of Fame but hey man you never know one day maybe we'll see another woman make it to the league and actually get to play and look what we've talked about a lot of rules in the NBA but there's no way you knew about the original rules see way back in the 1890s when basketball was first invented they had all kinds of weird rules like instead of playing with a basketball

they played with a soccer ball and for the hoop they didn't use a regular net like they do now it's called basketball because they literally used a fruit basket and they had to get a ladder to grab grab the ball every time they scored but there's one more rule that's just wrong because not only was it illegal to run with the ball but you couldn't even dribble the ball either yeah dribbling was against the rules and as a result these original rules made basketball suck so over the next Century they rewrote the entire rule book

turning basketball into the sport we all know and love today man thank God they changed the rules because I don't think fans would put up with that I mean they barely tolerate the game now like we've seen fans throw stuff at Players flip guys off hell I've seen fans start rioting over a missed Leia look if all that sounds interesting they need to cook this video right here these are the times NBA fans went too far and uh trust me dog you don't want to miss this video all right so what are you doing click

it it's a good it's a good video it's a great video actually it's a great video
