    The NBA's savvy moves and the 'innovators' who push the limits of the rulebook

    Nice to see this article. Now maybe the NBA will do something about it. I don't blame the players, I blame the league for allowing it to be an issue. The refs can barely make the right calls on ordinary plays, let alone plays like these. Offensive players get away with too much shit. CP3 intentionally slamming on the breaks at midcourt when a player is trailing him is ridiculous...he is initiating the contact IMO

    The swing-through is the same IMO. The offensive player is initiating it.

    Dame does the stop and pull up thing a lot and I think that's just a matter of defenders needing to control their bodies and either taking their medicine by letting the guy coming off the screen get off a clean look or risk the foul being called. You can't ride someone's hip over a screen and not expect a foul if they stop.

    it's about self-innovation not self-immolation
