‘I’m Still Confused’: Stephen Curry Reacts to NBA Explaining Rule Changes Using His Clip vs Bucks

Stephen Curry is one of the best shooters in NBA history. He is a three-time NBA champion and two-time scoring champion. Many have credited him with revolutionizing the game by focusing more on the three-pointers. Now, Curry may have to change some of the tricks he uses due to a change in the NBA rules.

The NBA recently implemented some new rules during the summer. It is an initiative taken by the NBA to curb the foul-baiting tricks that players have used over the years. However, such a big change may take some time to be implemented, as both the players and officials will have to adjust. But, to clear the confusion regarding the new rules, NBA explained these changes through some clips on their social media.

However, they didn’t use players who regularly exploited this rule. Instead, they chose Stephen Curry’s clip to explain an instance. Curry has reacted to the clip and commented on the rule change.

Stephen Curry comments on the new NBA rule changes

Warriors star Stephen Curry’s video was used as an example to explain the new rules changes. In the video, Curry grabs the pass from Draymond Green and dribbles towards the basket. However, just before shooting, he abruptly tilts towards Bucks defender Donte DiVincenzo. This would be a foul from this season onwards as the offensive player lands into the trailing defender.

Curry, who reacted to the video in a recent interview with The Athletic, opened up on the new rule changes and revealed he’s still confused.

“There was a play against Milwaukee — two guys guarding me at the same time,” Curry said.

“I changed directions. I think (Donte) DiVincenzo came behind me. They used that as one of the examples. They said that wouldn’t have been a (defensive) foul (and actually an offensive foul). I’m sitting there watching the video, like, uhh, I’m still confused on how that’s not a (defensive) foul.”

It’s understandable that Curry is confused over these rule changes. However, not just him, but almost every NBA fan is confused and will have to wait for the start of the season to get more clarity. But overall, this new rule may go on to fix one of the biggest problems.

Stephen Curry is great at handling the ball, and he exploits these situations very cleverly. In fact, along with his league-leading 32.0 PPG, Steph averaged his career-high 6.3 free throw attempts per game last season in the NBA. For now, it remains to be seen how the rule will impact the league.
