Los Angeles Times: What's Bruin : Rich Perelman on the world of UCLA sports

The Basketball Jones found this 4/11/2008 on latimesblogs.latimes.com [flag]

I didn't mean to start with quite so many videos, but I saw this episode recently and have been raving about this new style of programming. FSN's Sport Science is less than a year old and it's a breath of fresh air in sports TV. In this episode, they see if UCLA alumnus Jason Kapono (with Jordan Farmar on the assist) can beat the NBA's Trent Tucker Rule. Enacted in 1990, the rule basically ... [link]

Jason Kapono Pulls A Chuck Woolery
Published 4/11/2008 by Tas Melas at The Basketball Jones
... I pulled a Bill Simmons in posting this. I felt like getting Raptor fans all riled up that Jason Kapono can get a shot off (a made one!) in .22, while T.J. Ford can’t get a tip in .5. I love at the end how Jordan Farmar tries to take some credit for the pass, but Kapono wants all the thunder. This has all he’s got Jordan, let him have it. But, honestly, bringing hundredths of a second to the game clock only seems like a logical evolution. (Hat tip Brooke, via LA Times Blog) Share This

No, really. According to the NBA's rule book, there must be at least 0.3 seconds left on the clock for a player to be allowed to attempt a jump shot. If there's less time on the clock, a team can only score by converting a tip-in or alley-oop from ...

Some things don’t happen very often. Total eclipses, Haley’s comet, a Knicks win. So that’s why when something extraordinary happens, you have to take notice. Tonight, the Raptors stepped up and played a solid game, playing like a team that just wanted it more than the other team they were playing. But that’s not the part that was so abnormal. No, that came as the Raptors got their asses ...

NBA science tells us there must be at least 0.3 seconds left on the game clock for a team to successfully get off a jump shot. (Yes, the Trent Tucker rule .) If there's less time on the clock, you can only score on a tip or alley-oop. (Unless, of ...
