Could the days of DeAndre Jordan enduring so many nightmares at the free throw line be drawing to an end? Adam Silver has announced that the hack-a-Shaq rule (or hack-a-jordan, for those who are new to the game) will be discussed this summer. So even though the playoffs are normally a time we forget about NBA rumors, this is a case that could actually have an impact on the game.
It may help teams if they’re lucky enough to face a 39.7 percent free throw shooter like DeAndre Jordan, but the hack-a-whoever strategy kills the speed of the game and ruins all entertainment value for players, coaches and fans alike.
