Because Dwight Howard is so good defensively (also because of his shot blocking skills), many NBA stars already claimed that they have to change their game when going against him. Even Derrick Rose and Joakim Noah were on that boat.

I don't see SB as a fix to the defense, but rather as a complimentary skill that makes you a better defensive player.

I wouldnt call those questions drama but anyway. So only two university guys completely created this game on their own and then it came popular. Then they hired/got together a group of other BBs, worked the new GE and all...And youre saying that this new team around the first two BBs has not made a single change/fix to this game. So is that what youre saying?

I understand that the creators of the game have made "mistakes" and stuff like that, but those have been (mostly) fixed and adjusted during the years, havent they? Even nowadays everything isnt perfetly in balance, but roughly, just about they are. I cannot understand a way, how SB would suck because BBs couldn't help it.
And when you ask for evidence about everything, youre kind of just crushing our "out of the box thinking" here. I think no-one can really prove much anything about SB here (atleast yet), but we're developing the idea.

i love mind games. Off course SB is way to smash opponents mind, cool to see and cool to have. But this is not primary skill, this is small part of inside defence <- not sure to block the shot 100%, stay on foot and control rebound. Basketball is passionable and desperate game. All this drama for attendance.

But as we (many people) can't stop LI, shouldn't we then atleast use every little parts of inside defence? I think, we should (if someone still didn't get my opinion :) )

there are more important things to follow. just use outside def.=shot block and guards whu are not bunch of ballerinas (inside def.). game needs first real basketball players. SB is soooo tiny detail to focus soooo much.

Not with SB,because unless it becomes as much important as IS,ID and REB(because change coefficient for salary calculations would help too much some users and would penalize too much other users),SB problem can't be solved.And I think that Sb shouldn't become as important as IS,ID and Reb,because the ability of blocking shot is also in reality a much much much less important thing than shot,defend,or grab a rebound

Even if I want to think "out of the box score",still I can't imagine as SB can have an effect comparable to IS,ID and REB,while the increase in salary is just as comparable

up in the air challenging a shot


this is space jam. unless this air man blocks well guarded opponent (tough, desperate shot) and has done all, that his man is out of play for open rebound. defence to me is put high pressure shot if opponent is able to do it and then rebounding. airforce is usually expensive too :D
