I bet you didn’t know there’s an NBA rule that let one player play for both teams or that the NBA made a rule just in case an entire NBA team dies these are weird NBA rules and what if I told you an NBA player was suspended for taking too long to shoot a free throw this is Dwight Howard and back in 2011 he was the best big man in the NBA coming off winning three defensive player of the years in a row and taking the magic to the finals before losing to Kobe and the Lakers in 2009 but nothing is more impressive than the time he was suspended for shooting his free throws too slow obviously Dwight Howard was known for taking his time at the free throw line but it got so bad that on Christmas Day against the Boston Celtics Paul Pierce started counting how long it was taking Dwight to shoot his free throw 10c violation as Dwight Howard gets the ball waiting for the free throw and then the technical foul has been called now rule N9 section one of the NBA rule book says players only have 10 seconds to shoot a free throw once they receive the ball and every single time Dwight Howard stepped up to the line he was using all 10 of those seconds fast forward to April in that same season in a game against the Bucks Head Coach Scott Skyles took it one step further than Paul Pierce instead of counting using his fingers he just started counting the seconds out loud to the referee and the very next game against the Charlotte Hornets Dwight got called for it again over 10 seconds at the free throw line and Dwight was getting tired of this rule so after he was called for it again he decided to roll the ball away from the referees which got him a technical foul the only problem was this was his 18th of the year and in the NBA once you receive your 16th technical you’re suspended for one game and after that suspended for another game if you receive two more so because this was his 18th technical he was suspended his very next game which means that Dwight Howard was suspended because he shot his free throws too slow but Dwight’s not the only player that’s been called out for taking his time at the line yanis DMO has been called for the 10-second violation rule multiple times he was even getting James Harden Matt but the funniest part about jannis taking over 10 seconds to shoot his free throws is the the man who was suspended Dwight Howard counting out loud when Yannis is shooting his free throws and uh somebody’s counting you hear that Chris I think DWI Howard is counting the seconds that Yannis is at the line he just wanted to make sure Yannis knew what it felt like even 10 years later but what if I told you this next rule is by far the weirdest thing that has ever happened in the NBA because this rule caus this guy right here to become the only player ever to play for both teams and scort for both teams in the same game this is Eric money and on November 8th 1978 the Nets were playing against the 76ers now Eric money was on the Nets alongside his teammate Bernard King and it all started with King driving to the hoop and being called for an offensive foul King didn’t agree with the call and that made him extremely mad so he started screaming at the referees now King already had one technical foul and it didn’t take him very long to receive his second ejecting him from the game and on his way out he decided to kick a chair causing referee Richie powers to give him a third technical except according to rule number 12 in the NBA rule book a maximum of two technical fouls may be given to any player coach trainer or other team player on the bench so even though it’s not allowed referee Richie Powers gave Bernard King his third Technical and when Nets coach Kevin Lowry went to argue about the call he too was thrown out of the game and given three technical fouls after the 76ers finally shot all their free throws the Nets ended up losing the game by four points in double overtime because of the three technical fouls the Nets decided to protest the game and NBA Commissioner Larry O’Brien agreed and decided to have the game replayed plus suspended referee Richie powers for five games who was the one responsible for handing everyone three technical fouls the soonest the game could be replayed was March 23rd over 4 months later and the game would start in the third quarter with 5 minutes and 50 seconds left right after Bernard King was ejected but there was just one small problem on February 7th the Nets and the 76ers would complete a trade that would send Harvey Catchings and Ralph Simpson to the Nets in exchange for Eric money so on March 23rd when the game was supposed to be replayed the net no longer had one of their best players Eric money instead he was on the 76ers and to finish the game he scored Four Points with the 76ers and four months ago in the same exact game he already scored 19 for the Nets so Eric money became the first and only player to ever score points and playing the same game for two different teams all because a referee wanted to give everyone three technical fouls but for rule number three the NBA made a pair of brothers cover their tattoos this is lamelo in Lonzo ball lamelo is the point guard for the Charlotte Hornets and Lonzo is on the Chicago bows now there have been over 70 pairs of Brothers in the NBA but what makes these two unique is the NBA had to make a rule for both of them according to the NBA rule book The only article that has a commercial logo which can’t be worn by players is their shoes so on November 11th 2023 lamal was told his brand new tattoo he got back in September violated the NBA rules so he had to cover it up every single game his new in LF which stands for the middle name of France the only problem was that back in 2020 lamelo also started his own clothing brand Under the same exact name so according to the NBA that tattoo is technically a commercial logo so he has to cover it up with tape every single game before his brother Lonzo things went a little differently his started back in October of 2018 when big baller Brandon was known all around the world so to continue to spread his family’s business he got triple Beast tattooed on his forearm and the NBA said the same exact thing to him no commercial Lo goes anywhere besides your shoes so just like his brother he had to cover his tattoo up with tape to avoid being fined every single game but instead of having to put tape on for the rest of his career he decided to completely cover his tattoo and turn the triple B’s into dice making them the only Brothers in the NBA to break the same rule but what if I told you this next NBA rule was created for just one NBA player Will Chamberlain played back in the 1960s and he was by far the best player in the NBA breaking almost every NBA record but it wasn’t only records he was breaking he was also changing the way basketball was played you see the entire offense for whatever team wi was on would either throw it up to him to dunk or they would shoot it themselves and if they miss he was way taller than anyone else so he would just grab it and dunk it the only problem was he was grabbing the ball off the rim and putting it back into the hoop 12 years before they banned defensive goal tending so no players could block a shot when the ball was on the way down or if it was on the rim so because the NBA was trying everything they could do to make it harder for will they also banned offensive goal tending making it illegal to touch the basketball if it was hanging on the rim and what makes this even crazier is that’s not even the Only Rule Willl changed he actually made the NBA change five rules because he was so dominant will made the NBA create rules for offensive goal tending defensive goal tending size of the paint free throw shooting and inbounding the ball now if we go back to the rule book in rule 9 section B the free throw shooter cannot step over the line until the ball touches some part of the hoop backboard rim or net it has to touch something because back when will Chamberlain played on Kansas he wasn’t a very good free throw shooter so instead he would just dunk the ball from the free throw line now rule number five might just be the weirdest one yet because there was a time back in the day that had a rule that allowed women to play in the NBA now we’ve all seen Caitlyn Clark do some crazy things I mean sometimes I can’t tell if I’m watching Caitlyn Clark or Steph Curry but before Caitlyn Clark there was Lucia Harris Lucia played for Delta College back in 1973 during her junior year she averaged 32.1 points per game and by the time her College crew was over she averaged 25.9 points per game and 14.4 rebounds had a record of 109 wins and six losses plus held 15 out of the 18 total records from Delta College but it was on June 10th 1977 where the NBA held their draft at Madison Square Garden and in the seventh round with the 137th pick the Utah Jazz would make history and draft Lucia Harris but Lucia wasn’t even the first women drafted into the NBA because in 196 9 the San Francisco warriors selected Denise long in the 13th round of the NBA draft she only stood at 5’1 but the Warriors felt like she could play alongside men in the NBA right out of high school during her High School career she scored over 100 points three times but that wasn’t enough long was vetoed from playing in the NBA before she ever put on a Warriors jersey because at the time they didn’t allow anyone to enter the NBA right at a high school and they didn’t think it was a good idea for women to play in the NBA either which led to the WNBA being founded on was 30 years later in 1996 but rule number six is the newest rule created by the NBA in the 2023 2024 NBA season the NBA decided to put in place a rule every fan has been asking for flopping flopping has been in the NBA for as long as I can remember players barely get touched and they make it look like they could be out for the season but with this new rule players can now get called for flopping and when they do they’ll be charged with a non unsportsmanlike technical foul and the opposing team will be awarded one free throw and speaking of fouls have you ever wondered what happens when a team only has five players and one fouls out well we found out when the Cavaliers and Lakers played each other back in 2014 the Lakers only had eight players available to play that night because Pal Gasol Jordan Hill Jody Meeks and Steve Nash were all out with injuries then Nick Young got hurt during the game and Chris Cayman eventually fouled out the Lakers had so few players that Chris came and just went ahead and took a nap on the bench and just when Lakers thought they could go through the rest of the game with no problems Jordan Farmer injured his leg with Just 4 minutes left in the game so out of the entire Lakers roster they only had five players left and then the unthinkable happened another player fouled out and that’s when the confusion started Robert sakur now had six fouls in the NBA once you get six fouls you’re done for the game but since the Lakers only had four players left were they supposed to just play four on five well the NBA Robo states that no matter what teams will consist of five players and since sacur was the last player remaining he could still have six fouls and stay in the game but every single time he got another foul it would count as a technical and the Cavs would automatically get a free throw but that rule is about if you only had four players left this next weird rule is what happens if your entire team dies and if that happens the NBA is prepared if five or more players on one team die they have a rule called a disaster draft each NBA team would have to drop a list of five players who they would list as Untouchable for the draft then in the team picking because of the disaster draft would have their pick of 15 players from 30 NBA teams the disaster team would only be able to pick one player from each franchise to join their team this is to make sure that another team is not deeply impacted by the draft then the disaster team would also be given the first pick in the next NBA draft and keep their existing draft picks giving the team that just lost all their players a chance to build a new team this rule was made in 1960 because when the Minneapolis Lakers won a routine flight to St Louis their plane lost contact with ground control the weather was so bad that the pilots had to reach out the window to burst snow off the glass just in order to see the plane had to make an emergency landing in Carol Iowa and luckily no one was hurt but that’s when the NBA realized that if something like that were to happen to an entire NBA team there was nothing in place and there was nothing that team could do and so the disaster draft was born luckily a disaster draft has never happened but you never know anything is possible
