What are the ridiculous rules in the NBA that people can’t understand?

The first thing to complain about is the NBA ranking system. In Jordan’s era, the East and West were ranked directly based on performance. Although this will cause no team in some divisions to enter the playoffs, it at least seems fair. Therefore, in order to be "fair", the NBA introduced a division system in 2004. The champions of the three east and west divisions received preferential treatment and directly entered the top three in the playoff division. In this way, you can get playoff tickets if you squeeze out the teams in the same region, ensuring that teams in each division can participate in the playoffs. This seemingly reasonable plan was changed again after being slapped in the face in 2009 (2009 In 2016, the Spurs and Mavericks had a high winning rate but were forced to meet in the first round because they were both in the Southwest Division). In order to avoid the same thing happening, the NBA changed the rules and only allowed the division champion to enter the top four of the playoffs, but the ranking was not guaranteed. ; The second place in the division with the highest winning rate can also occupy a position here, so that at least it can ensure that the strong teams will not meet in the first round. This is actually in line with the principle of modern society that "high ability is not as good as good family background". In the NBA, it's called "Playing well is not as good as playing well in the division."

Let’s take a look at the puzzling jump ball. Everyone must think that the jump ball is normal. In fact, if you look closely, you will find that the seemingly fair and just rules of the jump ball all depend on the referee’s level. If the referee throws If the ball is tilted, the ball will usually not be re-jumped, and you will have to admit that you are unlucky. The opening jump ball is even more meaningless in the editor's opinion. In football, when the kick-off is in the center circle, one side directly controls the ball and the offense does not require competition, while in basketball, it is decided by a jump ball. The team that successfully jumps in the first quarter will serve an inbound ball in the fourth quarter. In the second and third quarters, the kick-off is determined by The other team served a throw-in, so why should I jump? Anyway, we all have the ball. One team has two quarters. No jump ball in the first quarter, but I also serve in the second and third quarters. What a waste of emotion with the opening jump ball. Of course, a jump ball in overtime is a must (but the probability of overtime in a game is still very low).

There are also some very weird rules within some NBA cheerleading teams, such as not wearing underwear during performances. The reason why you can't wear underwear is that the cheerleader uniform is a tight-fitting one-piece rhythm outfit. Wearing underwear will obviously show a trace, which is detrimental to the appearance. I don’t know what name this rule would be given in China (immoral, fashion-forward, or...). Sometimes a player would be benched immediately if he wore a pair of underwear.

The NBA has clear salary regulations for first-round picks, but there are no requirements for second-round picks, which means that second-round picks may earn a higher salary than first-round picks. .

Although there is no such rich and willful boss, it would be really embarrassing for the first-round picks if a brainless one comes out!
