Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry has never been afraid to put up an audacious half-court shot at the buzzer However, a lot of NBA players are afraid of doing so which is exactly why the NBA has instituted a "heave rule" for this season.
Because players are afraid of impacting their shooting percentage by throwing up a crazy shot at the end of a quarter, the new rule makes it so that any shot taken 36 feet away from the basket with three seconds or less remaining in the first three quarters will count as a team shot attempt, but will not count against the individual player's stats.
