Slightly OT - North Korean basketball rules

[RandygoCuse]

I saw a clip of rules for basketball in North Korea and it noted 4 differences:

1) Dunk is worth 3
2) If you swish a 3-pointer, it's worth 4
3) If you miss a foul shot, you lose a point
4) Baskets in the last 3 seconds are worth 8 points

I admit they are pretty gimmicky, but the 3rd one has me intrigued...

Well, according to their Supreme Leader, they invested the game, so I guess their entitled to do anything they wish.

If you lose the game, the entire losing team coaches players trainers are eliminated like in the squid game.

lol nice.
If I were an NBA team owner and there was no players union I would totally make #3 a thing in the form of docked pay for missed FTs

 

[CardiacCuse]

I like #3!

would love to see more hack--a--shaq scenarios...with heightened stakes involved.

just love the idea of losing points for missing generally.

Hard to sometimes know if a shot is truly a swish.

I guess one can install pressure sensors around the entire rim.

Not hard for the supreme leader. His ability in that (and every) facet of life is unparralled

He and Hawkeye are the only two (fictional humans) to have ever shot an 18 for an 18 hole golf course.

But I’m pretty sure Dear Leader’s had a windmill on it.

do refs make that call? is it reviewable by replay, do you lose TOs if you're wrong? maybe they use sensors and the backboard lights up with a swish

 

[HoustonCuse]

I love the Western thinking about how there must be replay reviews, sensors and light systems and stuff. These people get a few ounces of meat like once a year maybe and if you say the wrong thing or are related to the wrong person they shoot you with 30mm anti-aircraft guns.

I don’t want more fouls.

 

[Col. Bleep]

I don’t want more fouls.

In this country games would never end.
In North Korea...if you miss 2 free throws in a row you're shot.
And the first team with fewer than 5 players loses.

I like the 3 pt dunk. Bring the game back inside the arc.
