 | Zach Lowe on the new rule: We`re letting these lowlife players get off easy15-05-2026 |
The expert criticized the innovation in the league rules. I don`t like it, I don`t like it at all. We`re letting those lowlife players who are afraid to throw super-long shots at the buzzer because their stats are down 0. 0001% get off easy.
I loved exposing these types of players and elevating those like Curry, Jokic, JR Smith and Pritchard who want to win even if there is only a 2% chance of hitting that shot.
Boooooo, NBA. Boooooo, cowardly players, ” Lowe concluded.
ESPN previously reported that starting in the 2025-26 season, unsuccessful long-range shots at the buzzer (denoted in statistics by the term heave) will be recorded as a miss by the team rather than by an individual player. Thus, these shots will no longer affect the shooting percentage of basketball players.
