BANNED Rule That Made GOAT Scorer | Clutch #Shorts

Can you ever imagine a world where the most exciting play in basketball gets banned? Well, that was a reality for the NCAA in the early 60s to 70s. Luckily for all of us, it produced the best scorer of all time, Los Angeles Lakers’ and Milwaukee Bucks legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar!

Thanks a lot NCAA, you just created one of the game's best scorer EVER.

[destinsdestiny]

how about basketball without dunking
WNBA: am I a joke to you?

[kelcantcap]

The sky hook is a stoppable shot, it’s just that Kareem’s arms are 80 feet long

[ethanotto]

Can you imagine the NBA without dunking
Yes, yes I can, it’s called the WNBA

[timothyhays]

You should take a look at Wilt Chamberlain. They made several rules to stop him. He used to make free-throws by jumping from the free-throw line and dunk it. They ban that too.

[Alalpog]

That's how basketball is for us short people.
Basketball without dunks.

[microp.]

When he said no dunking I thought he was gonna rip on the WNBA

[zqubed]

John wooden actually voted for the removal of the dunk so that then Lew Alcindor wouldn't rely on it and up his game
And it worked

First off football doesn’t have quite the hard hits anymore thanks to the ridiculous rule changes. Secondly when it comes to the NCAA try to remember that these are the same people who made colleges changed their names of their teams because they considered it racist and offensive against Native Americans and other garbage like that. So it doesn’t surprise me that they tried to outlaw slam dunking.

Or hockey without fights/body checks which happened for one year but was taken out the very next year for sales drops

[bruhbwoi]

I don't have to imagine basketball without dunking, we already have the WNBA

[mrqloak]

AND THAT IS HOW THE SKY HOOK WAS CREATED

[annrivera]

Slam Dunk is Banned
Abdul-Jabaar:But you guys didn't said Aerial Slamdunk is banned right?

*Enters boss music*

[Itsjerri]

You wrong for exposing dude who hit his self

[bobnu_]

I thought he was gonna say

“well let me introduce you to the WNBA”

[greminem]

If you think about it, the skyhook is basically a long range dunk

[bobbyjoe]

"Basketball without dunking"
Thats called the WNBA

[matt-tmxh]

And because of kareem he was very good thats when he discovered the skyhook

[wyomingboi]

NCAA: you can no longer dunk.
Everyone: why?
NCAA: less injuries.
Dulgaba: how bout I do anyway
(Sorry about spelling btw)

[outrageousbananaking]

Basketball without dunking already exists. It’s called the WNBA
