The NBA is the undisputed leader among professional sporting leagues in unnecessary/buzz-kill rule making.
That’s quite an accomplishment when you consider the wet blanket the NFL has thrown over touchdown celebrations and the players’ use of Twitter.
Between the dress code policy and the new “respect for the game” rule which not only permits, but encourages, referees to penalize players who express any displeasure with their calls, NBA officials have proven that its not afraid to go above and beyond the bounds of necessity to exert their control.
However, there are a few players that make their latest rule change somewhat justified. There are few things the NBA has been critiqued for more than whining players.
Passion for the game creates intensity and is the singular greatest asset of any sport; however, whiners take that passion and soil it. They actually take away from the intensity of the game and present more of a bickering atmosphere than a competitive one.
