This subreddit should take the place of r/nba

r/nba is closed indefinitely, according to its mods. Major League Baseball has r/baseball which is more popular than r/mlb. All basketball fans could use this subreddit

What Happened to the 90s NBA Play-offs Matchup Prologue

I am an NBA fan since I was just a kid in the 90s. I remember distinctly back then that minutes before tip-off of a Play-off game, theres this 3-min prologue of the story of the matchup (e.g. will it be the Dream or the Admiral, Air Jordan or Stockton-Malone, etc). The short story was delivered with a dramatic flair (with the appropriate tone and voice too) between the two superstars of the opposing teams. As a kid, when I hear this, I get so hyped up. Then it was followed by bursting the opening theme sound (like a Star Wars opening sound) of the NBA Play-offs, capped off by "This is the NBA, on NBC"

What happened to that?

GENERAL QUESTION

How is a putback poster not an over the back foul.

If you jump on someone and come down on top of them, to be knowledge it's an over the back foul. I see clips of people like Lebron and Blake Griffin getting putbacks and demolishing people under the rim.

Is there a rule behind this? Or so refs not call it for highlight reasons

I'm here to hear about your proposed Beal deals

Now that Beal and the Wizards are looking at finding a deal, I know that all of you are dreaming up cool deals. Who has something that fits, that's logical... or something that fits which is outrageous?

I'm going to toss out a somewhat outrageous one to start:
Pelicans send Zion & Hernangomez; Wizards send Beal & Future 1st round pick

I know, that's never going to happen... but wouldn't that be nuts? It was fun typing it in. Alright, give me your logical ones, and your nuts ones!
