when did the nba 3 second rule start
Three seconds rule The three-second rule was introduced in 1936 and was expressed as such: no offensive player with the ball could remain in the Key with or without the ball, for more than three seconds.
Instant replay Instant replay first came to NBA in the 2002â€“03 season. In Game 4 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals, Los Angeles Lakers forward Samaki Walker made a three-point field goal from the half court at the end of the second quarter. However, the replay showed that Walker's shot was late and that the ball was still in his hand when the clock expired. The use of instant replay was instituted afterward.[7]
