From the DMN, on the league wide fears of Bradley and the zone...
"But after one month, you could see they were not going to be administered the way they were conceived," Dick Motta recalls. "I have the same fear with this three-second rule."
The fear then would be that, say, the modern-day Mavericks would station Shawn Bradley in the paint as a goalie, as Rudy T. likes to call Big Shawn, forcing teams to get their points from outside. In an era where outside shooting has never been worse.
"Players," Motta said, "are going to have to learn how to shoot an 18-foot jump shot."
Maybe the dream should have shot one before this picture was taken...
