NBA has a history of 74 years since its establishment. From the appearance of "24 seconds" to the birth of the three-point line, from transfer restrictions to the birth of labor agreement, the league has been constantly perfecting everything for the development of the league. Measures, so that the NBA has become such an inclusive business league today! In this league, regardless of nationality, color, culture or religion, as long as you have the strength, you can stand in this arena and get the cheers of fans and the respect of opponents! But even in such an open league, it still has some restricted areas that are not to be touched! Let's talk about it in detail below !
Kobe and Howard spit out trash!
The first taboo: trash talking cannot involve friends and family
In the NBA, trash talking is definitely a topic that cannot be separated, especially in the 1980s, under the leadership of Bird and Jordan , trash talking reached a climax! In a game between the Bulls and the Jazz, Jordan dunked the Jazz guard Stockton in a fast break, so the Jazz boss on the sidelines shouted at Jordan: bullying the small guy is not a skill, go find a big guy to try test? However, in the next round, Jordan dunked the Jazz's 7-1 high center Meltpin, and then shouted to the Jazz boss on the sidelines: Is this big enough?
Larry Bird is also a master of trash talking. He often tells his opponents: I will shoot three-pointers in this place in the next round. Come on, you just can't prevent me!
Jordan and Bird will be accompanied by a lot of trash every time they meet!
Of course, although there was a lot of rubbish at that time, it was still limited to ridicule in the arena. However, after the 1990s and 2000, this event has deteriorated a bit! For example, Garnett often talks on his opponent's ears. He talked to the other's mother in the ears of Duncan and , and mentioned Melon's wife in front of Anthony! Z2z also has , Rashid Wallace, , Charles Oakley, Reggie Miller and Kobe, Maxwell and fans. These trash talks turned into brawls in the end!
Therefore, the league referee clearly stipulates that any player who hears trash talking about family and friends will be sent a technical foul. If a subsequent conflict is caused, it will be suspended and other penalties! Therefore, now this alliance trash talk has almost disappeared, and the only influential person is Drummond Green !
Garnett's repeated trash talks have caused subsequent fights!
The second taboo: It is forbidden to have relations with cheerleaders.
First of all, the salaries of NBA players are all rich. If there is no such regulation, many cheerleaders may interact with players for money reasons, especially NBA cheerleaders. They are all in good shape, sexy and unrestrained. For NBA players with strong male hormones, it is inevitable to wipe out guns and get angry! If this leads to a lot of unnecessary disputes, it will be detrimental to the NBA and the players themselves!
Especially after the Magician "AIDS" incident, the NBA clearly stipulated that if a cheerleader is in love with an NBA player, he will be expelled as soon as it is discovered! However, the punishment here is only for cheerleaders. There are no rules for NBA players. After the cheerleader girl is expelled from , if NBA players continue to interact with girls without forgetting their original intentions, the NBA will not add restrictions, such as Howard Ex-girlfriend, Kobe's wife Vanessa have experience of cheerleading girls!
Bryant’s wife Vanessa was a cheerleader!
The third taboo: prohibiting players from wearing black masks.
There are many famous masks in the NBA. Hamilton may be the first one. Because the Pistons defended fiercely, Hamilton had suffered three nose injuries, so the mask became one of his. The stadium is equipped as standard, and he has been around for more than ten years, and many fans will even forget what he is! In addition, Kobe, Owen , Westbrook and James have all worn masks!
But the most influential one may be James , because James used to wear black masks before, which caused fear and discomfort for the children on the sidelines. In response to the reaction of adult fans, the league issued a special regulation for black masks.: All players who need to wear masks can only choose to wear transparent masks! I don’t know what James felt after seeing this rule!
James black mask scared the kid!
The fourth taboo: prohibit players from wearing hip-hop clothing to play games
There is no doubt that the representative of NBA hip-hop is Iverson, a big gold chain and a big gold watch, three meals a day, but big fat pants, big wide clothes , Iverson has attracted a large number of fans since entering the league! However, this move was considered by the league to undermine the positive external image of the league, so in 2005 the league officially issued a "new dress order"! The target may be Iverson!
has successively added some dress restrictions in subsequent alliances, such as the "ninja-style hair band" ban, "band-aid advertising" ban, "sports bracelet" ban and so on! So today's players can only play the game honestly, even if they can't play on the sidelines, they can only wear casual suits!
Iverson's hip-hop costume has attracted a lot of fans!
The fifth taboo: prohibiting advertising in the game
mentioned a "band-aid" ban, in fact, it has the meaning of advertising, its source is 2009 Wade because of facial injuries, specially posted on the face A band-aid, but a closer look will reveal the words "Flash" on it! Therefore, the alliance believes that this move is suspected of commercial advertising, and issued a ban on wearing it within a few days!
NBA players generally dress up on the court provided by Nike or Adidas, so in order to protect their rights, the league does not allow players to advertise for other businesses during the game! However, players often find loopholes in this. In addition to the band-aids above, JR Smith has used tattoos to endorse a superme costume, and Lonzo Ball and have also used their three-ball business logo. "BBB" was tattooed on his arm. What's more, Artest also specially made his record company "TUR WARIER" into a hairstyle . There are many situations like this, and the players have nothing to endorse. Don't worry about it! Of course, these follow-ups have been banned. Repeated bans such as JR Smith have also been fined, which is extremely severe!
Artest’s hairstyle advertisement is ingenious! Above
are the five “taboos” clearly stipulated in the league. Although they are in conflict with today's open and inclusive league goals, there is no roundness without rules. I personally think these measures are very necessary! Of course, also has some taboos such as "racism", which is beyond the scope of the NBA and even sports. It has become a taboo for all blacks! We won't go into details here for ! If you have friends who want to know some interesting NBA stories, please pay attention and leave comments, let's discuss them together!
