Tracy McGrady and Draymond Green on “how the game is soft now after NBA Changed rules”

Tracy McGrady cleverly explained the gist of the game. He said, “It is the rules that make the game softer, not the players. Let us call spade a spade.” He also commented on how the change of rule affected players making their shots right now in NBA.

Due to the new rule in NBA, an offensive player can not alter his shot or even launch themselves onto defenders to make a shot. It will be a fragment foul 1, and 2 such fouls get a player ejected from the game.
