Such a big league in the NBA, surely the rules are relatively perfect, after all, it is the highest temple of the basketball league, and they can do so well. However, in the 75-year history of the NBA, there are still many unspoken rules, and as a player, you must not touch it. If once touched, the light will be scolded, the heavy may also be beaten, then what are the unspoken rules, these 5 must know.
No.69 jerseys are allowed
There are many NBA star numbers, and you can wear them repeatedly, but you have never seen the number 69. Rodman once applied for this number, but was finally rejected by the league. The reason is also very simple, that is, the meaning of this number is easy to make people want to be crooked, easy to mislead the players, so even if there is no explicit provision, this number has not been worn so far.
Can't "fight in blood"
The so-called "bloody fight" is a game with injuries, the NBA is so strong that the intensity of the game, injuries are really too common. Plus some players are inherently dirty when they play, so bloodshed is really common. As a player you want to play with injuries and bleeding, the spirit is admirable, but the league does not allow it. The race must be stopped before it can be played, which is said to prevent the spread of disease.
It is forbidden to fall in love with cheerleaders
They all say that love is free, and it should be more so in the NBA, and they are more open to love. But the NBA really does not allow players to fall in love with cheerleaders, O'Neal has had before, and as a result, after the breakup, it has been exposed to many scandals. Leagues and teams have since had such rules in order to protect the privacy of players.
Players are prohibited from wearing hip-hop costumes
Why there are so many Iverson fans, in addition to his excellent skills, his hip-hop dress is also leading the trend. Iverson is already very hip-hop, plus the same is true for dressing, he can attract a lot of attention on the field. After that, the alliance was unified, which stipulated that it was not possible to enter the scene or give interviews in hip-hop costumes.
Blacks cannot be invited to eat watermelon
Watermelon is one of people's summer favorites, sweet and thirst-quenching, but not in the NBA. In the NBA you can invite black players to dinner and drink, but don't invite watermelon. In their case, if you invite him to eat watermelon, you discriminate against them, which directly rises to the height of racial discrimination. Wade once came to China, was invited to eat watermelon angry, and later explained in time, this resolved this misunderstanding!
