Get the Basketball mug.Basketball, but points are scored by throwing the ball up through the hoop.
You can use your feet to manipulate the ball.
Points:
1 point if the ball comes back down and hits the rim or backboard.
2 points if the ball falls back down and hits the floor within the free through rectangle.
3 points if the ball falls back down and hits the floor outside of the free through rectangle and inside the 3-point line.
5 points if the ball falls back down and hits the floor outside of the 3-point line.
If any of those shots are made by bouncing the ball off the floor, then thought the bottom of the hoop, the point value is doubled for every landing zone.
If a player on the enemy team catches the ball after it has a been launched though the hoop, the shooting team gets only 1 point, as if the ball had hit the hoop or backboard.
If a player on the shooting team interferes with the ball's fall after being launched through the hoop, no point is scored.
On defense, any measure up to pushing is legal. Any defensive action that causes another player to fall is considered illegal, unless the referee can reasonably determine that the defensive action should not have been forceful enough to knock the player down. Lowering one's shoulder and charging another player is illegal.

Get the Basket Diver mug.A sport you don't see guys getting knocked out in, no matter what a sports writer tries to tell you happened in the game. Another thing you don't see is a ref counting down until the guy has to leave the game if he can't get up at the end of the countdown, even if that would be a more interesting basketball game.
The other guy kept throwing the basketball at Joel Embiid's head, he was relentless, and down went Joel Embiid. He could not get up and walk away from this one, he was knocked out, the ref got no response during the countdown, just a lot of twitching.

Get the Basketball mug.Something not everyone feels like watching/playing all summer long, during the most casual time of year there is. The way things were done before the pandemic, where the finals ended a month before late July was good enough, since it was good enough from the creation of the league roughly until the pandemic. There never needed to be an extra month of basketball, where a few people keep changing schedules and games until the team they want to see win finally does.
By late June, people have watched enough basketball, there's no good reason for it to continue a month longer. It doesn't create fatigue for anybody, it's aggravation at a casual time of year not meant for excessive levels of aggravation, and the aggravation is there no matter what team gets the championship. Late summer isn't basketball time because it never was.
