Isn’t Barkley’s behind the “Barkley Rules”? Old fans dare not understand all the cold knowledge!

Speaking of the rules modified by the NBA due to players, you must have heard of the "Barkley Rules" - the official name "5-second violation of singles behind the scenes". Today I want to dig through the "unfair case" behind this rule: it is not Charles Barkley who really makes the league take action, but Mark Jackson, the point guard who likes to arch his butt into the three-point line!

1. The originator of "big ass" back hit is actually the defender!

Barkley's 1.98 meters tall and his big buttocks really made the inside players miserable. He started from the three-point line and smashed it to the basket step by step, which was called the "essence of human crawling". But what the league really couldn't stand was point guard Mark Jackson - this guy was on the Pacers back then. He could play 15 seconds in a game, and he started to stick his butt from the backcourt and played basketball into a "stand-alone bulldozer game". (Imagine: Jackson, who is 1.85 meters tall, rubbed against the opponent's point guard for 15 seconds, and Reggie Miller and Chris Mullin stood on the outside and stared at him... The rhythm of the game? It doesn't exist!)

2. When the rules were issued, Barkley was almost retired!

In the 1999-00 season, the league officially launched the "Five-second Violation on the Back": dribbling on the back or side to the basket must not exceed 5 seconds in areas below the free throw line extension line. But ironically, Barkley retired after only 20 games due to injury this season, and the rules did not limit him at all. Mark Jackson's "butt tactic" is the league's key target of attack - the Pacers used this trick to compress the penalty area and ambush the shooter from the outside, making the league call it "boring".

3. Barkley: I took the blame gloriously!

Although the rules are not aimed at him, Barkley is quite open-minded about it: "I have more than 20,000 yuan. Are you missing these 5 seconds? When I die, people will still remember this rule called my name!" In fact, Barkley's back-playing skills are far more than "arching ass". His explosiveness, turn jump shots and ending at the basket are all historical levels. The imitators who really drive crazy are the ones who are imitating themselves - after all, no one can do it except Barkley and Jackson in 5 seconds!

4. Why do fans only remember the "Bakley Rules"?

People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong! Barkley's big butt was so impressed by people, and with his ostentatious personality, the media naturally put traffic on him. As a character player, Mark Jackson is far less famous than Barkley. Even if he is the "true cause of the rules", he had to hide behind Barkley's butt as a background board...

Conclusion: Rules change the game, but the legend never fades

The five-second rule on the back makes the NBA game faster and more viewing, but those wild ways of playing "the butt opens the way" in those years have now become the exclusive memory of old fans. Barkley and Mark Jackson proved with their big buttocks: In the NBA, you have to have a little special skill - even if this special skill is finally "banned" by the league!
