For those who don’t know what I’m talking about, you’re able to touch the ball once it hits the rim, even if it’s above the cylinder.
Adds a interesting dynamic to the game, so i’ve been thinking about it being hypothetically added to the NBA game
What do you think?

It's one less thing for the refs to make a judgement on, I'm fine with it. However, of all the problems in the NBA, goal tending isn't really on the list.
Yeah it takes the call completely out of their hands. I like it, I think it rewards big men playing below the rim, and further encourages offensive players to go for put back dunks. Seeing as the league is so perimeter centric (which isn’t a bad thing), small things that encourage inside play and player awareness will just make the game more dynamic and more entertaining.
People talk about the Kawhi buzzer beater as if going to an over time game because Ben Simmons swatted the ball off the rim is a bad thing?
I'm fine with it, just a different type of highlight. Draymond's FT save in the Olympics was great. You make a good point about pulling the game back inside a bit.
Kawhi’s game winner against Sixers wouldn’t have happened if this rule was in the NBA
People say this all the time but even in FIBA you can’t touch it after the quarter buzzer. It would still be defensive goaltending in that situation.
Even if it wasn't after the buzzer, another Raptor could just as well flush it in as an opponent knocking it out.
yeah. for that reason alone, it sucks
It’s still not a super easy thing to do. And also illegal after the buzzer.
I’m not a fan but maybe I’m just not used to it
Not good, and I'm a euro
It’s dumb as shit and looks fucking ridiculous
I think it's fine. Overall Olympic basketball was a nice change of pace from watching the NBA
Same.
I'm cool with slightly different rules.
It's fun in Fiba, but would suck in the NBA.
What would make it worse in the NBA in your opinion?
Too many good athletes in the NBA and it would happen way too often.
Andre Drummond would suddenly become the most valuable player in the league

I don't like it, but I also don't like how NBA refs miss goaltending so often and the stupid review policy. Seems a bit unfair to not review a missed call when it directly impacts the game score. It's an objective call after all, like whether a player has their foot on the line when shooting a three.
I'm pretty much in favor of anything that allows players to maximize their physical gifts, especially with all of the rules favoring offense.

I would be all in on this in the NBA. It would give big men a lot more value
wouldn't matter because the nba refs would screw up the rule like they screw up everything else
I like it. As with many FIBA rules it should be the NBA rule as well.
Most basketball leagues in the world follow the fiba ruling (Euroleague, European domestic and NBL). I wish the NBA did since the US also exports a lot of players to those leagues for development. It would give defensive big men slighlty more value across the world.
Dumb af.
Personally think it’s stupid.
What about touching ball after it touches backboard? It’s goaltending in USA. What about international?
Good rule.
I hate it personally
Reminds me of playing on double rims, basically you gotta swish your shots...perhaps that's why there's so many 3 point marksmen coming out of Europe lol
