“That won’t work anymore!”: NBA seemingly targets Stephen Curry and Paul George as they explain new rule changes about foul drawing on Twitter

The NBA takes the example of Stephen Curry and Paul George to show what will now be considered offensive fouls

 

Stephen Curry is quite easily among the best scorers in the league right now. In fact, the Chef is so good that there is quite a strong debate for him to even be the best in that category right now, with perhaps only Kevin Durant really standing in his way.

To be good at scoring, you obviously need to have some serious skill on all three levels of offense. However, you also need to be good at the act of foul drawing.

We’ve seen players like James Harden and Trae Young damn near make an art out of this cheeky act. In fact, their foul drawing abilities are so special, just the threat of the act alone can often create an open shot for them.

That being said though, we have some terrible news for all scorers in the league. And it is one that the NBA has gone to extensive lengths in defining so that there are no loopholes left to exploit.

Let’s get into it.

Stephen Curry and Paul George are used as prime examples to show what actions will now be used against the offensive player

The days of those awkward and infuriating foul drawing motions may finally be over.

As fans know painfully well by now, players have made a habit out of jumping sideways, and even backwards to draw fouls in the act of shooting. And frankly, why wouldn’t they? The calls have been coming until now after all.

But, it seems the NBA has finally decided to put an end to it all. Peep the tweets below.

With these new restrictions, we think it’ll be pretty funny to see someone like James Harden hook an opponent’s arm to draw a foul and then look up in confusion as the call goes the other way.

Jokes aside though, this is clearly a step in the right direction. At the end of the day, the defensive specialists needed a hand. And now that they’ve got it, we suspect that these players are probably shedding tears of joy, and why not?

With the law finally changing, they can do a lot more on the defensive end. And that results in fans getting a far more entertaining game.
