NBA New Rule Suggestion

[Buena Onda]

Anytime a player goes down from a hit to the head/face area and they stay down long enough for the game to be stopped, that player must sit out until they are fully evaluated by an independent doctor to clear a concussion protocol.

My hope would be that we don't have to stop every 3, 4, 5 times because some player is faking, yeah, I said it, faking an injury trying to draw a flagrant foul. Lessens the integrity of the game and kills the flow. Not to mention adds at least 20 minutes to every game.

Lebron would have to clear concussion protocol 10 times a game.

They should think about calling a travel or a carry before they start adding rules.

How about they eject players for flops?

[Dr. Fager]

That's something you don't see in soccer.

The problem is they do not want to penalize an injury. It makes them look bad. The issue of faking is cheating. That is problem of your sport. You have a system that rewards cheating and a lack of ethics in your sport. But then, that is really an American problem of poor sportsmanship. So to fix these problems, you have to fix America. Any interest in that? Probably not.

The linemen fake injuries in football to stop the hurry up offense. There are no penalties for that.
