- Beyond the rules that we all know and understand from the NBA rulebook, the NBA and its players and refs also go by a code of unwritten rules that are constantly being upheld. Here are some examples of unwritten rules of the NBA.

There is an exception when it comes to running up the score. If the opponent makes the mistake of trash-talking your star, like MJ for an example, it gives him free reign to go ham if they so desire.
MJ was the biggest traveler of all time.
Gotta be a BIG level somebody for that tho. Anyone who isn't basically Chef or Bron today wont be taken well pulling that shit
@@steviegreenthumb4720 Yeah, it would likely be a rookie trash-talking the star when the star was taking it easy followed by the star proving to the rookie why they are a star.
My favorite story about trash talking had to do with John Stockton. One of the big stars got tired O John's team beating them, so he decided to really trash -talk John to see if he could take him off his game. The started after the opening tip-off, insulting John, demeaning him, laughing at John's mistakes, bragging about is own baskets that John couldn't defend. It didn't work. Stockton's team won anyway, and John played his usual high-quality game. After it was over, the star goes to Stockton and says, "How could you concentrate so well with all the trash-talking I was doing?" And Stockton looks at him wide-eyed and says, "Were you talking?" And he meant it...Stockton was so laser- focused that he was immune to trash-talk. He never heard it! The guy just stood there open-mouthed.
@@joemarshall4226 Heh, different people react differently for sure. Some ignore it, some feed off of it, some implode because of it.
The Thunder/Lakers one wasn't terrible. The game was only 5 points. If Lakers inbound and score, it's a 1 possession game and they're playing the foul game. The steal and score sealed the game. It wasn't sealed before that. I get he could have run out the clock, but the Lakers could have also fouled him there forcing him to make freethrows. I don't blame him on that one. Russ is just a hothead.
Do you not realize how much you are reaching? There is no “if Lakers inbound and score” because once Oklahoma got the bull the Lakers don’t even have possession… And yes you’re right the Lakers could force him to make free throws but then they are still down 7 points with 2 seconds left on the clock it’s simply impossible for them to win there. I personally don’t really care for the unwritten “rule” I just noticed your logic wasn’t adding up at all
@@Kizdo69 you just assumed he would make the 2 FT. Your logic is flawed. Like OP said, Lakers were still trying to compete and this guy was being a bad professional if he let them foul him instead of taking the opportunity to put the game to rest. As always, Westbrook was just frustrated.
@@ruilopes00 Then lets assume he missed BOTH free throws. They're down 5 with 2 seconds to go. Where is the hope? lol
@@ruilopes00 Nah, that game was over before Bazley's dunk. I watched it. Every Lakers were dozing off in their back court. If they were really trying, they would be sprinting around the front court like maniacs looking for a hail-mary or something.
Bazley made a mistake; but TBH, if Russ had that much energy to be angry at that boy, he should spare some of that before the regulation ended.
@@scipio764 this, I was literally gonna say it said more about how little heart the Lakers had that game that they felt a 5 point lead was game over at that point
I was a ref at 16 for ball. I also did make-up calls. Sometimes I just don't have the angle guys. Two of us on an elementary/high-school court, we don't have the position sometimes.
Coaches at that level still understand make-up calls.
To answer the question at the end of the video......yes, this garbage compromises the integrity of the game.
Star players get calls regular guys dont? There is NO integrity there. None.
Walking no calls have changed basketball so much that it isnt really basketball anymore.
You want integrity?
Integrity is when what' is a foul the first 47 minutes of the game is still a foul with 3 seconds to go.
Integrity is when fouls are called on LeBron in the same way they are called on the g league call up at the end of the bench.
Facts
The only one that makes sense to me is the 2nd one. Being there for your teammates. Everything else sucks tho lol.
.pllpl😊😊
The last entry happened today during Celtics vs Bulls. Jaylen Brown did a Backcourt violation but the refs forgot to call it. Immediately, Jaylen went up and got fouled on the drive but the refs let it go. The announcers even noted it
It's not a backcourt violation because the ball was being rebounded after Grant's shot. As per NBA Rule 10, Section IX, point b: "During a jump ball, a try for a goal, or a ***situation in which a player taps the ball away from a congested area, as during rebounding***, in an attempt to get the ball out where player control may be secured, the ball is not in control of either team. Hence, the restriction on first touching does not apply."
I disagree with that first one, as far as scoring in a sure win. It should be a rule that you don't have to take a turnover, you should still at least hit the rim on a shot, of it goes in it goes in
In all fairness, the crowd is clearly counting too fast for Giannis’ free throw attempts. After about 5 they just speed up to get to 10, so really he’s only at the line for about 7.5 seconds by the time the crowd hits 10
yeah, crowds doing things in unison....they can never keep a beat without speeding up. clapping, counting, etc.
Yo man amazing video keep it up !!!!
I appreciate it!
Refs also don’t call palming/carry anymore.
Good video new sub keep producing great content
Thanks!
Great stuff!
Yea this channel boutta blow up soon great video btw
With the travelling part of this video. It does get very technical but if ball isn’t in hand you can take as many steps as you like. It’s 2 steps per dribble. And yes there’s gather steps and the driving to the key rule whatever it is.
Only star thats not getting the star Call is steph curry
NBA refs can be terrible in general
@@BallerBulletin true but when you compare to bron for examble he almost always get the tiki taki foul, when steph gets knocked down from a 3 point shot, he isnt getting as much foul call.
@@oldmennewgames bot curry and lebron always get the call
Bro curry was THE worst offender of the offensive foul by throwing himself into defenders without a real shot attempt. I wish Bron or Giannis or Embiid did that to him a couple times and dropped all their weight onto him. Harden did that shit too and it was bullshit. They both needed to get flattened under 250-300 pounds.
@@oldmennewgames that’s the dumbest statement I’ve heard curry try’s to always throw his feet out to get calls I’m glad they don’t call it anymore it was bs
This channel is very underrated the videos are lit
Surprised you didn't mention Kevin Garnett. He would block shots after the whistle all the time.
Love this content. New Subscriber here 💜
I still remember the college football teams that use to run up the score in the 70's. So I take great pleasure watching them get beat now.
Yep - Florida Seminoles.
Im the 200th sub. I see alot of potential for your channel ❤️
Also the mafia and vegas controls the spread on all games
The wolves play was a travel but it wasn’t 6 steps. You actually take a look at it and it’s 3 steps when 0 step is taken into account. They started counting the steps before he even picked the ball up.
legit what i was about to comment as well, couldn't be stuffed to actually count but from the gather it was a max of steps
I've always hated the first unwritten rule. You play to the final buzzer. If you don't want the opponent to score, play defence. If you don't want to be blown out; compete.
TEAM ELFRID!!!
Good on Jae for the defence
Bad on Jae for the shot attempt
Bron gets a lot of missed foul calls to because he plays so physical and that’s a problem for players like him even if they are stars. Now small guys always get foul calls like Harden
Missed out on the unwritten rule (for refs) to try to make the scores as close as possible to make the games more exciting for the fans, and make the overall NBA product more synonymous with exciting entertainment.
This was actually covered in my video about the nba may be rigging games. You should check it out!
game doesn't end untill the clock hits 0. Gotta play it.
Bench player mindset.
"I didn't get many minutes in the game, we've clearly won but I nerd my stats cos ego"
Remind us what Jae Crowder has ever won??
Did he even make that shot??
@@darrengordon-hill
Comparing him to Payton, Crowder has 6 playoffs appearances. Payton is a nobody compared to Crowder.
The first "rule" is idiotic and childish for ppl that can't handle a loss.
The game ends when the clock hits zero.
1 don’t run up score once game has been won. “Blowout”
2 always have team mates back if something goes down.
3 don’t take practice shot when ref blows whistle.
4 star players get preferred treatment over average players.
5 not call traveling violations on Star players?
6 referees give make up calls on missed fouls.
Thanks for the summary, Richard. I partially disagree with your number 3, though, because I don’t believe an NBA teammate would ever tell you not to take a practice shot. I would write the rule this way: If an opposing player takes a practice shot, and you’re in the vicinity, you must try to block it.
Re rule 1 - if you don’t want to be disrespected, don’t lose
its a lack of class and 99% of players/peeple agree, but hey theres always that 1% of moron who only think about themselves.
Also players who do stuff like often apologize afterward, after their OWN teammates tell them not do it again.
Yet, here you are defending it hahahaha
Then the winner team should be allowed to mocking on the losing team? What a dumb comment
@@joaquinfantonimoure9463 it’s not mocking to keep scoring until the clock reaches zero
@@joaquinfantonimoure9463 mocking lol. so you can taunt players, trash talk, but you are not allowed to score if you are winning. lmao
@@joaquinfantonimoure9463 scoring is considered mocking? lol
Shouldn't this be called "5 Unwritten NBA Rules That Everyone ON The Planet Knows About, Unless They've Been Dead For More Than 100 Years"?
Thank You
Blocking dead shots is the KG rule.
call them ticky tack rules or w/e but the game would be better without letting stars travel and carry.
Your point on travelling is incorrect because you don’t know the written rule. The steps are counted from when the ball is picked up not from when it last was dribbled so your example with the wolves player was a legal play
after he "picked up the ball" he took 3-4 steps. not sure who you are trying to kid. you think you know more about basketball than Shaq and Charles Barkley? clown
@@silversteinfan30 after his second hand hit the ball which is what constitutes him picking up the ball he only does two steps
The first 3 steps there in Brewer's travel were during the gather. They were legit. I did however still count 3 steps after the gather, though the first one was still close.
But he carries the ball.
you can only take 1 step during a gather
@@ShrekStan23 you can take as many steps as you want during the gather, up until the ball is back in your hand. If someone bounces a ball high and shuffles hit feet 15 times before the ball comes back to his hand, that isn't a travel.
yeah they overeacted on that one. Just looked a little weird
he literally held the ball nearly upright, by the time he took the 2nd or 3rd step he had basically completely gathered the ball with his one hand. definitely a travel
7:54 Man had an entire journey
love the video
Thank you!
@@BallerBulletin you forgot one real important you dont call a time out if you are wining the game by a lot of points seen a lot of coaches fighting another coach for calling time out i didint play in the nba but i play pro for a long time blessings for you and your family keep doing yours videos soon you will be bless
Lebron doesn’t get 60% of the whistles he deserves
The competing thing is just known to anyone that’s competed in any sport at any level, I mean I see the validity in including it but it’s not secret by any means
although if there's 25+ seconds you have to shoot at some point or else get a shot clock violation
That first rule is BS. If you don’t like the other team scoring, get better. I’ve always learned that you play hard until the final whistle.
Imagine you pay for an NBA ticket (not everyone can pay for multiple visits) and the teams refuse to play the last minute cause "the game is decided and it's disrespectful". Bruh what about the respect for the fans who paid to see basketball??
7:36 he wasnt touching the ball during the 1st 3 steps you start counting when the player touches the ball
if only there was a convenient way of measuring the free throw shot duration. something like a clock. yes, that's it: a convenient clock that could measure the time of the free throw. a shot clock timer thingie. if only something like that was available and convenient.
some uncalled travels are just the people not understanding the travel rules
Travelling SHOULD be called.
Rules you didn’t know existed? Even a casual fan knows these rules exist
Totally disagree with #1. Like Larry Bird once said. "you better come to play or we will embarrass you." Also, you confused traveling with walking. Today's players routinely get three + steps before a ref will call a walk. And don't get me started on "carrying the ball" violations. It's really getting ridiculous.
Bro say Bazley
It Bazely like kent Bazemore :/ IM DEAD
some of these guys need a passport they travel so much!
These be some weak unspoken rules. Play until the clocks out or don't play 😂
Imagine ref not calling it as unsportsmanlike conduct
Zy guycc? R
I’m bout😮So
You are getting dunked on the whole game.
bro used the ja morant murder on my mind edit in the intro
7:35 this is nonsense. He took three steps, but not six. "The dribble ends when the dribbler....permits the ball to come to rest while he is in control of it" So in this case, the dribble ends when the ball rests on his open palm, when you say he's already taken three steps. Nope. That is incorrect. Thanks for playing.
How about another rule. Don't watch if Lebron is playing
1st unwritten rule is hella dumb to get mad for. If there's time on the clock keep playing no matter what.
You know I've loved this game for 60 + year. Never before have I've ever thought I'd hate or even want to quit watching NBA basketball might as well bring back the globe trotters at least they don't travel
basketball is better now.
@@mindofball19 how so it is sooo much unfair and no longer a sport rather a show
@@mindofball19 watch any 70's 80's series then tell me that. Back then they actually called travels , walks, and carrys. Most old school teams would annihilate any of todays teams.
Yep. A shame it's changed so much.. Just like boxing. Football is heading the same way....
@@advicemaster1365 you are a joke my man
this guy only has 600 subs???????????
The guy who took six steps actually only took four steps (still a blatant violation) because the first two steps were taken while he was still dribbling.....the ball hadn't come back to his hand yet...he allowed it to float....
Corey Brewer. I thought so, too.
the first unwritten rule feels like btches made them so they feelings dont get hurt that much...if someone wanna play hard let them play hard
Not a fan of the make up rule, at least for fouls. If someone gets away with a foul, sure call the same guy on a weak one later to even it out, but don't give a foul for something someone didn't do to make up for a non call on someone else, you could land someone in foul trouble or even fouled out at a crucial point in the game for your mistake.
TLDR: no sportsmanship (losing teams act like cry babies), no discipline (brawling like it's a hood game), the urge to block shots that don't count (???), no rules (referees are muppets). NBA is jokes.
The #1 unwritten rule, you must respect The LOSERS...
JM abt to belittle these
The 6. Rule: Don't call you self the GOAT, let that to Others...
Don't run up the score is a rule in not just basketball
7:57 he doesnt even have the ball in the hand why are they counting, when he actually has control is at step "4"
The last unwritten thing is kind a horse s... It is normal people reaction. You feel guilty for missing/not reacting to a call and then try to make up for it. It has nothing to do with NBA or sports, its just how self conscious humans work.
Correy Brewer’s isn’t a travel.
5 unwritten rules not official rules
Gill is right , the globe trotters NBA
Maybe Cleveland bron or heat but lakers bron gets no calls
Kevin Cupcake Durant never has his teammates back.
to the first rule, i play until the clock hits 0
I don’t get why players would get mad when they get careless with the ball and turn it over in the final seconds lol
@@BallerBulletin ikr
@Mark even if i was up 100 points i’m still going for those 2 points. i ain’t tryna make friends i’m tryna send a message to the team
@@BallerBulletin YOU EXPLAINED IT!!
Jae begging extra points in a meaningless (at that point) win.
Sadness!!
Team Elfrid!!
@@cass114 And you'll get dumped on your ass!!
When GSW were running over teams, Steph sat out ENTIRE 4th quarters!!!
THAT'S what winners do!!
You begging numbers like Westbrook against tanking teams when up 20
SADNESS!!!
Screw that. If the clock is still going, score. If you don't want to get blown out, play better. Simple as that.
Also, the NBA is a joke with superstar calls, no calls for travels, or makeup calls. What game integrity is there when these are blatantly happening?
If superstars were that great, they would rise above and get the same calls as everyone else and still shine.
A player can take 2 steps and then pivot as many times as they want, as long as it is the same leg. You counted those pivots as steps, but that is wrong.
There is superstar treatment and there's lebron treatment not on thesame level
Everyone fan of any sport ever knows the first one…
But yet there are still players that disregard it lol
Players curse each other almost all the time ,dont care, but one of them take an unimportant shot, they fight. Should I switch to WNBA?
Lol… Gilbert Arenas is your source?
walking/carrying is a joke.... top of the key to the rim with call? switch directions while carrying? How do
you guard someone?
Lebron gets a lot of fouls called for him. Haha thats funny lol
Mad respect for Payton on that one
Hassan Whiteside shouldn’t have gotten clowned for getting laid out on the ground like that. Supposed something far worst happened? We gotta start settin boundaries as humans fuck that nba fanboy shit, whiteside could’ve really gotten hurt and what would y’all say? Cmon man 🤦♂️
This kind of corruption reflects the american justice and political system. If you are rich, powerful and/or famous you`ll get away with anything, and the difference between the priveleged and the commons grow even larger.
So you should stop trying just because the other team is losing?
That's BS. Dont want to be humiliated then play better.
Is that a real person talking or is that an AI?
Real 🙂
All these rules are BS. Players are paid enough to play to the end of the game, not give up when they think they have lost and then get shitty if the other team scores. Plus the amount of travel that happens is insane. These guys are getting paid huge money to play basketball, stick to the rules and play the fucking game.
The first rule is bullshit idc if you winning keep scoring up points!! The other team just trash
Time and time again. I will say the raptors deserved what Lance did. Just saying you get what you dish out.
Duck unwritten rules. Professionals want to act like babies when you have high school and college teams literally running up the score on every opponent they possibly can. If I was a coach I tell my team to play your game. Don’t worry about others fragile ego’s at the end of the day every league is statistics based and a few extra points, rebounds, etc. would help someone get paid if their contract is up. All numbers count the same and if the other teams have a problem with it and are embarrassed? Good, they should be they are pros who just got blown out, my team wouldn’t fall into bad tendencies because were coddling another team
93k 11d
I dont follow any of these rules on 2k with myplayer
😂
A white woman comes with your contract.
#1 Put reserves in and compete until the end. F the unwritten rule. What about fans that paid.
#2 I agree
#3 Who cares
#4 #5 Its cheating for Refs to ignore rules.
NBA Sucks
People paid to see people plays 48 minutes... That first unwritten rule is BS to be honest...... those garbage time is the only shine moment for those who claps on the bench the whole season. so let them play...
LBJ gets away with everything look at when LBJ hit that guy and only got 1 game hen any other player would get at least 10 games
curry don't get advantages
Russell will never win a championship Russell will never win a championship Russell will never win a championship Russell will never win a championship Russell will never win a championship Russell will never win a championship
