I think it was one of those things to speed up the game. Take away the post game jostling some of the old school bigs liked to do.

It's one of those rules I think Barkley doesn't even know exists. Otherwise he'd understand why the post game can't be as it once was.

Well guys... The ugly 2 minute report has now said that Greek Freak did commit a 5 second violation hahaha

NBA rules Giannis committed a 5-second violation before last night's buzzer-beater in win vs. Knicks (via http://ble.ac/teamstream-) http://teamstre.am/2iJutS6

Guess the NBA disagrees.

Not sure how. I don't see how he was back to the basket, underneath the foul line, for more than 5 seconds.

League is rigged against the Knicks smh.

Bah, this appears to be a NY writer on Twitter:

NBA says Giannis "begins his dribble with his back to the basket at 7.8 seconds, at which point the 5-second count starts...(continued)

..and then gathers the ball & begins to turn towards the basket for the shot at 2.2 seconds, thus ending the count." We're talking 0.6 secs

FYI: on that same sequence NBA rules missed defensive 3-second violation on Carmelo and a Joakim Noah foul on Greg Monroe. So...play on.

lol

Frank Isola? Knicks/NBA guy at NY Daily News. ESPN's Around The Horn, SiriusXM NBA Radio & SNY.

Edit- After reviewing the film again, I can see Isola's point without wearing the green shades. I concentrated on Melo and Noah, not Giannis.

Edit-Edit- The above about Melo and Noah are also on the official.nba.com document, too.

5 second back to the basket is a **** rule anyway.
