The NBA's New Rule That Changes Everything for Steph Curry and Movement Shooters
Basketball
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.
