    Exactly. Defenders will stop closing out on him hard if they're smart. They'd rather Harden take a 37% 3-pointer instead of an 88% 3-pointer.

    This rule would help Harden. The only negative I can see is Harden getting less rest. (But this impacts every player, so probably evens out.)

    Not surprising to see media try to bend facts, though. Anything to pander to national narratives and generate clicks.

    I didn't know we had the math on Harden shot 1 vs. shot 2, but this was my intuition because even below average NBA FT shooters will hit like 80-85% if you let them shoot 10 to 20 in a row and get in a rhythm.

    I actually am kind of intrigued by this rule to speed games up as well.

    Admittedly, this is a few years ago, but I had a hard time finding a source for splits on FTs.

    If I were going to change it a little...a foul shot granted for a foul on a 3 pointer should be taken from the 3 point line.

    I misread the article into thinking all fouls are one shot one point.

    Makes more sense for his spiteful agenda than the real proposal...

    It would, but more appropriate for the situation I think. Also, securing the rebound would be a little more exciting as well.

    I was thinking this rule was to speed up the game. FTs are boring af

    The best way to address the hack-a-shaq increase is to allow the team to choose who takes the FT throughout the entire game, not just the last 2 minutes.

    Yeah, but the fact that Harden is actually fouled on his calls is just a pesky, meaningless fact to the idiot hater brigade.
