Breaking NBA Unwritten Rules but they get increasingly more heated

These are times where NBA players have broken unwritten rules but as the video goes on the get increasingly more heated.

My favorite part is how many of these players are complete hypocrites. They have no problem doing it themself but if somebody does it to their team then it’s disrespectful and uncalled for

[PoetryJesusYK]

“I love it but this is manufactured anger” truer words have never been spoken

[dylan]

The easiest solution to not feeling disrespected by a score when you're down 15 is to not be down 15.

I think the flashy dunks probably add more insult to injury than like a lazy meaningless layup or a three, but I understand them more. It's an entertainment sport. Fans came to watch a good game. If they get a windmill dunk out of a blowout, that's a good thing. There might be some kid at the only basketball game they'll ever see in their life and they might get to see something spectacular.

the Lance Stephenson one is always so hilarious... bro scores a wide open layup and proceeds to get mauled by five other emotional grown men

[jb-xmyi]

Never understood why the rule of not scoring in the final minute evolved. Just play to the final whistle like every other sport.

[Fireward]

It’s the other way around for me:

I feel respected when an enemy team plays their hardest until the game ends even if I’m losing by a lot. I feel disrespected when someone goes easy on me because they are winning by a lot.

*"Classless act...."* 2:53 Uh no.... THIS IS LITERALLY HIS CLASS. He is paid to do this, nobody paid to see a 10 minute 4th quarter just because we already know who won. Play the freaking game. It's the same problem in every sport. Why have regulation if you aren't allowed to play the same way during the whole game (including up to the end)!?

[austinjones]

imagine getting physically violent because somebody took a shot at the end of a basketball game 😂

[orpheus]

Dame doin it to Chicago (2:05) is okay but then he gets salty when CP3 does it to him (3:43)💀

[sosmooth]

The way Lance handled that will always be my favorite. Bro was trolling them so hard.

[fallenshallrise]

I love the NBA but this is the only part that sucks about the sport - they all give up on the game sometimes 10 minutes before it's all over - in other sports they will fight tooth and nail until the last second, even if there's no chance they will make a chance, they will drag themselves closer. And it's so dumb because all it takes is a couple of stops and a few 3's to drop and a lead can be erased - and these players all know this from experience.

Not shooting before the game ends is the worst unspoken rule



Also I do play basketball competitively

[TheMarslMcFly]

Clyde Frazier summed it up perfectly at the end "You're here to play the Game!". As long as there's time on the clock I'm shooting at the Basket. Especially if I'm winning a blowout at home I'm getting out the fancy stuff to celebrate. NBA is about entertainment just as much as it is about the Sport. Give the Fans what they paid for.

[SamBrickell]

The more "unwritten" rules your sport has, the more emotionally stunted your players are.

[NateClay]

2:20 I don't get it? *What did they do wrong?* You played bad defense, the game is still going, you're getting paid millions. What a bunch of grown up babies!

[Braselton]

Acting tough at the end of the game Hahaha
Where was that energy in the 4th Qtr my guys?

[devrim]

I actually love when players take a shot before time runs out, even if the game is a blowout

[christiankarlkarganilla]

The one with D Wade was the perfect way to handle this. Otherwise, I really have no problem with playing till the buzzer sounds regardless if it's a blowout or not

[murgatroidsp]

The worst of these by far is pretending to shake someone’s hand and then stealing the ball
