I suppose stories like this were inevitable...
*To be clear, I'm not assuming any validity to the story; I just knew it was likely someone would put something like this out.

To me, developing an ability to anticipate where a rebound is going by tracking the flight of the ball, timing your jump on rebounds, being able to make put-backs without coming back down and flat out hustle to outrun someone to a loose ball are real parts of the game. Stuff you can work on playing (unrestricted 1 v. 1). So I prefer the traditional version.
But I understand the appeal of the other versions.

Real talk is there any film of Kobe (2008 & 2012) or Bron (2008, 2012, and this summer) competing in any of these 1v1 during Team USA camp or practice? The footage that came out the other day had Bron just watching on the sideline while engaged in conversation.

Following your shot is a skill. Lots of easy buckets or second chance opportunities missed out.
I know they exist, but your chance of making a roster on most levels is much higher as a specialist. Elite defender or shooter or rebounder. The NBA is the best of the best, so yea at that point you need to be good at everything.
I just don’t like these tendencies kids pick up today with these new games.

I need to see blood and bones.
Yall are trying to remove the chaos from the game.
That's why yall Americans are never prepared for war. Yall want everything structured and sanitized.

Throughout the course of game, the opportunities to get your own miss outside of the paint are few and far between. Go watch an old game and get back to me. It’s been a fake fundamental for some time.

addict4sneakers is trying to eliminate Pat Bev types from the game forever.
Tussle hoops does not translate. You can absolutely play chihuahua basketball like Pat Bev in 3 dribbles though. But nothing about a 6’2” guard following his own shot allowed him to play until he was 35.

How an NBA sixth man built a $600M empire
Drafted by the Lakers in 1975, Junior Bridgeman spent four decades building a nine-figure, multinational empire. And now he's teaching NBA rookies, veterans and teams exactly how he did it.
But Bridgeman understood her point. Salaries for players then weren't that high by today's standards. In Bridgeman's 12-season career, which included a stint with the LA Clippers, he made about $2.95 million and never more than $350,000 in a season.
After his career, he built a fast-food empire that, at its peak, totaled more than 450 restaurants nationwide. He became a Coca-Cola bottling distributor with territory across three states and into Canada. He bought Ebony and Jet magazines. His estimated net worth soared to nearly $600 million, behind just Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and LeBron James, among NBA players.
Made his money flip for real

Following your shot is outdated boomer advice, might as well tell us to drink milk for calcium and eat 12-18 servings of grains too and flouridate our water.
If you shoot a non baseline jumper, you are likely the highest player on the court (closest to the opponent's basket on the other side) so if you "follow your shot" and don't get the rebound, the guy who was defending you is now loose in the open court for a Woo! Woo! Outlet! #getbackonD
