Around SBN: Sean Keeley's Week 12 College Football Buffet

I wasn't going to post this link because this rumor has already been linked to via SLAM in the previous fanshot, but I feel the need to post it for the main content of the article.

By putting in writing the Lebron James method of terminating ones dribble (i.e. always taking three+ steps) as a legal maneuver, the league has opted to allow the floodgates to open vis a vis sloppy footwork.
For years now, Lebron has taken the liberty of terminating his dribble at the three point line with no vision of his teammates, taking two to three steps to determine if he will pass or shoot, and then taking an additional step or two to reach the basket if no player becomes available to pass to. With the rule change, we can now reasonably assume he will be allowed 5-7 steps without dribbling on most occasions. Conversely, any warriors player taking more than 2 steps or attempting to (gasp) jump stop, will be immediately suspended by the league and fined accordingly.

 Yeah ,it’s just the typical dumbing down of a good thing to make it more appealing to the dim and lazy. If they think more scoring will put butts in the seats they’ll change even the most basic of the rules to attract the rich a**holes. I’d rather see them take a stand but that’s apparently not the american way these days.

Standing on the moon
Where talk is cheap and vision true
Standing on the moon
But I would rather be with you
Somewhere in San Francisco
On a back porch in July
Just looking up to heaven
At this crescent in the sky

But, LeBron's feet don't actually touch the earth when he walks....
