It’s a rule that whenever one player slaps the floor on defense, the defense must give up a layup. When two players slap the floor, the other team will score five unanswered points. When three players slap the floor - also known as a slapurkey - you’re giving the finger to the basketball gods and will be smote in short order. Little known fact: the 1989 Bay Area earthquake was caused by the starting five of Stanford all slapping the floor at the same time.
