Many NBA fans are not happy with recent changes "to protect players" kama kungefanyika opinion polls mashabiki wengi wangependelea kurudi katika sheria zile za miaka ya 90 na si hizi za sasa za soft NBA.
Samahani kwa kuchelewa kwangu kuingia katika mjadala huu BAK lakini nadhani wengi tunapofushwa na mambo mawili ambayo yanatokana na mapungufu tu ya kibinadamu...hero worship na fanaticism. Hebu turudi nyuma kidogo na kuangalia chanzo halisi cha mjadala kuhusu sheria zinazodaiwa kuwa za soft NBA na namna ulivyoanza, lini na kwa sababu zipi...

I am not so sure which changes to the rules turned the game of Basketball into the so called soft NBA and when exactly they were introduced. But from the little I know any changes that have taken place over the years, I guess changes that are most blamed in this regard are those made in 2000-02, am I right? Let's start by going through those changes and how they might have affected the game. Here goes...


2000-01

  1. If a player is fouled when he has a clear-path-to-the-basket, he gets one free throw and his team gets possession of the ball at midcourt. Previously, the player received two free throws.
  2. No contact with either hands or forearms by defenders except in the front court below the free throw line extended in which case the defender may use his forearm only.
  3. Neither the offensive player nor the defender will be allowed to dislodge or displace a player who has legally obtained a position.
  4. Defender may not use his forearm, shoulder, hip or hand to reroute or hold-up an offensive player going from point A to Point B or one who is attempting to come around a legal screen set by another offensive player.
  5. Slowing or impeding the progress of the screener by grabbing, clutching, holding “chucking” or “wrapping up” is prohibited.
  6. A five-second count will begin if an offensive player with the ball and not facing-up starts dribbling below the free throw line extended while being closely guarded or starts dribbling outside and then penetrates below the free throw line extended while being closely guarded. (The five-second count commences when the offensive player penetrates the free throw line extended). After five seconds, a violation will have occurred and the offensive team will lose possession.
  7. The shot clock shall remain as it is or be recycled to 14 seconds if it is below 14 for a common foul requiring no free throw attempts occurs, kicked or punched ball violation, or an illegal defense requiring no free throw attempts.
  8. On the strongside, any defense is legal.
  9. On the weakside, defenders must remain on the weakside outside the paint unless (i) they are double-teaming the ball, (ii) picking up a free cutter or (iii) closely guarding an offensive player.

2001-2002
  1. Illegal defense guidelines will be eliminated in their entirety.
  2. A new defensive three-second rule will prohibit a defensive player from remaining in the lane for more than three consecutive seconds without closely guarding an offensive player.
  3. The time that a team has to advance the ball past midcourt will be reduced from ten seconds to eight.
  4. Brief contact initiated by a defensive player will be allowed if it does not impede the progress of the player with the ball.
Hizo ndizo changes ambazo naamini zimeleta mabadiliko na kuwafanya fans wengi wanaopenda kuona mieleka uwanjani kudai NBA imekuwa soft. Ajabu ni kwamba kabla ya ushindi wa GSW 2014-15 huu mjadala haukuwepo na hata pale waliposhinda regular kwa 67-15 mjadala haukuwepo ingawa minong'ono ilianza kusikika. BAK hebu nipe ushahidi kwamba kwenye fainali za mwaka 2001-02 hadi 2013-14 wapo ama wachezaji wa zamani au mashabiki walilalamikia NBA kuwa soft!

Sheria zingine zilizofuatia zilijikita tu katika kuruhusu replays na hii bila shaka ilisababishwa na advance in technology inayowezesha maamuzi kuwa challenged and replayed ikibidi.

Hebu tukumbuke mapambano haya yafuatayo ya fainali halafu tutafakari kama kweli yangeweza kuitwa soft;
  1. 2001-02 - LA Lakers na New Jersey Nets
  2. 2002-03 - San Antonio Spurs na New Jersey Nets
  3. 2003-04 - Detroit Pistons na LA Lakers
  4. 2004-05 - San Antonio Spurs na Detroit Pistons
  5. 2005-06 - Miami Heat na Dallas Mavericks
  6. 2006-07 - San Antonio Spurs na Cleveland Cavaliers
  7. 2007-08 - Boston Celtics na LA Lakers
  8. 2008-09 - LA Lakers na Orlando Magic
  9. 2009-10 - LA Lakers na Boston Celtics
  10. 2010-11 - Dallas Mavericks na Miami Heat
  11. 2011-12 - Miami Heat na Oklahoma City Thunder
  12. 2012-13 - Miami Heat na San Antonio Spurs
  13. 2013-14 - San Antonio Spurs na Miami Heat
Kwa nini mjadala wa soft NBA haukuwepo nyakati zote hizo au ni kwa sababu ya ujio wa GSW na mchezo wao usiotegemea uzito, urefu na misuli? Je watu kama Shaquille O'Neal walicheza kwa sheria zipi? Naamini kinachogomba hapa ni hero worship...watu kutoamini kwamba wangeweza kutokea hivi vi-midgets kutoka Golden State wakaandika historia mpya na kuwatoa kwenye limelight stars kama Michael Jordan au kufuta historia ya timu kama Chicago Bulls na San Antonio Spurs!

Mimi nimeanza kuipenda GSW mwaka juzi tu baada ya kushuhudia mchezo wao ulio tofauti kabisa na timu zingine. Pamoja na kwamba mwaka huo hawakuchukua ubingwa, nilamini kabisa kwamba they were on track for bigger impact katika mchezo wa Basketball. Bado nakumbuka comment ya mwanzo kabisa ya aliyekuwa kocha wa Bulls Phil Jackson, hakuweza kujizuia kuficha hofu yake kwa hii timu. Aliona kabisa kwamba hapa wametokea vijana wanaoweza kabisa kuandika historia mpya na juzi wamefanya hivyo tutake tusitake.

Haya yote yananikumbusha mchezo wa Ice Hockey...wako mashabiki wake ambao kama hawakuona ngumi uwanjani wanadai mchezo haupendezi na haunogi.
 
Mkuu mie sirudi huku tena nilichoandika nimeshaandika na kuweka hata baadhi ya wachezaji na Basketball analysts ambao wametoa kauli ambazo zinasema kuhusu kile nilichoandika. Naingia kwenye baadhi ya blogs ambazo wapenzi wengi wa NBA kama wangekuwa na uwezo wa kurudi kwenye ERA ya uchezaji wa 90s basi wangerudi kule lakini hawana uwezo huo. NBA Management wameshafanya decision yao.

Samahani kwa kuchelewa kwangu kuingia katika mjadala huu BAK lakini nadhani wengi tunapofushwa na mambo mawili ambayo yanatokana na mapungufu tu ya kibinadamu...hero worship na fanaticism.

NBA approves on-jersey advertising program
The NBA announced Friday that the board of governors has approved a three-year pilot program to allow teams to sell a corporate logo on their jerseys.

Teams can now start pitching companies on buying a 2.5-inch-by-2.5-inch space as the NBA becomes the first of the four major U.S. sports leagues to put ads on regular game-day jerseys.
The first season of the program will be in 2017-18, which will also be the first season that Nike makes the NBA's uniforms after taking over from Adidas. The Adidas logo is not currently on game jerseys.
With A good number of people(fans,legends,media and other stakeholders) opposing this move,The decision has been approved,pending implementation.
One of many changes done and yet to be done that will always face negative criticism by some people.
WNBA.......

Nadhani watu wana haki ya kutompenda Curry, mambo anayoyafanya uwanjani hayafai kabisa. Hapo hatujazungumzia alivyoiteka twitter! Wapo ma-veteran kama Barkley wanaumizwa kweli kweli!

I hope Curry is okay...Too Early for them ankles...
Meanwhile. ....Patrick "Thuggery" Beverly reminds me of his play some few years back against Russell Westbrook. .
 
Nauangalia mchezo kati ya Cavs na Pistons na sina hakika kama na huu unaweza kuitwa soft kwa namna wachezaji wanavyopambana. Kwa kweli basketball niliyoiona miaka ilee, kama kuna tofauti itakuwa ni ndogo sana.

Inavyoonekana neno soft linatumika tu kuipunguzia GSW sifa waonekane sheria zinawabeba. Wapo baadhi ya wachezaji wa zamani wamevalia njuga hili jambo kwa sababu tu za kibinafsi, hawaamini kwamba wangeweza kutokea vijana na kuwafunika.

Mpaka sasa mechi ni draw 52-52!
 
Alegria do povo check out this finishing line up in Cavs' win today and tell me who played big? Mind you LBJ is 6 ft 8 in, so he was the biggest of all in the team.

Vipi mzee, mafuta yalikata? Mbona hujatoa updates za mwisho wa game?
Hapana, mimi siko hivyo. Nilipata tu dharura ikabidi nirekodi kipindi kilichobakia. Hongera kwa ushindi ila nafikiri utakubaliana na mimi kuwa huu mchezo haukuwa soft.

Samahani nilikuwa busy nikiangalia fireworks Oracle Stadium baada ya the best shooter in the world kukaa benchi na maumivu. Ajabu ni kwamba ni kama vile hakuwepo nikiwa na maana kwamba his absence was never felt as the reigning champs of the world crashed the Rockets mercilessly 115-106 in game 2.

Naona wewe bado una live in the past, achana na hao have beens, vijana wapya wameingia mjini.The Dub nation believes in numbers, hatutoi excuses mara oh, Kyrie Irving kaumia, mara oh Love...come on dude, why have 15 people on the bench and then cry over one ball hog's disposition...ha ha haaa, Houston here we come!
