The NBA’s ‘Heaves’ Rule: Game-Changer or Just Another Myth?
A heave can change a game, and it is ridiculous to think that anyone ever considered not taking one. Only Grimes knows if he would have taken that shot if his shooting percentages — and their impact on his next deal, which he will negotiate from $8.7 million in unrestricted free agency in July — were on the line.

Grimes attempted a single heave last season, an airball from 40 feet.

The increase in attempts has led to a severalfold increase in makes, as players have made six times as many heaves this season (6) as they did at this point last season (1). The evidence is clear, and who is to say the league will not improve its accuracy to 4% or 5% as players get more accustomed to taking them?
