The NBA’s ‘Heaves’ Rule: Game-Changer or Just Another Myth?
(Nikola Jokić’s three successful heaves last season, including two from 60-plus feet, tied for the league lead with who else but Stephen Curry, who makes heaves look like jumpers. You’ll want to see them, too.)
There was a time we thought a player might not attempt a heave, for fear of its impact on his shooting percentage — and, therefore, his statistical case when next it comes time to negotiate a contract. After all, these are low-percentage shots. (Players were just 1-for-116 or 0.8% on them at this point last year.)
