Should the rim in the NBA be raised higher?

Yea lets make a football field 150 yards while were at it since the players are faster and stronger now

He is only 6"3 or 6"4. Reach in fighting is measured by wingspan and factors in frame width of torso.

With his hand above his head he is not close to the rim as the average 6"6 NBA player. Not to mention most guys in the NBA have large reaches

with a 7 foot wingspan you definitely have a higher standing reach then a 6’6 person with average reach. Theres absolutely no reason to raise the rim in basketball this thread is horrible

Yes there is you want to baby the players

How about a fire moat around the paint and a floor level trampoline at the top of the key?

And make the rim half as big

 

[Mark Hunts FIST]

Yes. Should be 11 1/2 ft.

Will never happen.

 

[Revolver]

They should raise the rims to 14 feet and force players to use trampolines.

Should have trampolines at the top of the key and 5' above the 10' rim should be another rim where you can dunk on for 6 points. Read it and weep

 

[SaiWa]

Yeah, by at least ten feet.

Also, make it vibrating.

filthy if taken out of context. I like it.

ua

And they should release a pack of roaming crocodiles at the 2-min mark of each quarter. Every friggin' quarter will be intense instead of maybe just the 4th quarter then!

No, the three point line should be pushed back or atleast the corner three should only count for 2. I miss the days of contested jump shots just under the three point line and inside scoring presence.
