The NBA’s ‘Heaves’ Rule: Game-Changer or Just Another Myth?

Boston Celtics point guard Payton Pritchard might call someone who doesn’t believe in a heave a coward. And he is an expert on the subject. He made one of the league’s great heaves — a halftime buzzer-beater that maybe literally drove a nail into the coffin of the Dallas Mavericks in Game 5 of the 2024 NBA Finals.
“Soft mentally,” Pritchard once said of such heave non-believers. “Worrying about a shooting percentage. It’s very weak. You care about your individual shooting percentage more than winning. That’s so soft.”
