NBA’s End-of-Period Heaves Rule Tweaked…
Under NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, the league keeps spicing up the game like a chef with a heavy hand on the chili powder. Silver isn’t afraid to play around with the rules and formats, bringing new events like the Play-In Tournament and the NBA Cup to keep fans on their toes. He’s even planned changes for the 2026 NBA All-Star Game in LA, making it like a basketball version of the Olympics but without the medals—just bragging rights. While some fans scratch their heads at these changes, it’s refreshing to see the league trying to keep us glued to the screen. One hilarious tweak for the 2025-26 season is those end-of-period heaves won’t count against players’ stats anymore. The idea is simple: save players from the heartbreak of watching their 3-point percentages plummet faster than a lead balloon at a science fair. Players have been dodging these shots like they’re avoiding a bad haircut, but now they can launch as many as they like without fear. After successfully test-driving this during the Summer League, it’s set to become a regular-season feature. So, gear up for some quarter-ending fireworks!
