The NBA Created A Twitter Handle To Justify Dwyane Wade's Game-Winning Shot


Dwyane WadeHardwood Paroxysm posted a video earlier today as part of their “Have Ball, Will Travel” video series dissecting – what should have been – Dwyane Wade’s illegal travel on Wednesday night’s game-winning shot against the Charlotte Bobcats

And we agreed.

But there was one group that didn’t: the NBA.

The league office created the Twitter Handle, @NBAOfficials, Thursday afternoon which will, according to the webpage, tweet rule clarifications and updates.

Their first post linked to an NBA.com webpage explaining that Wade’s dribble-drive was, in fact, “a legal basketball move.”

For some, the NBA’s defense of the play may still be up for argument.

But the league’s proactive and creative decision to be more transparent with its refereeing decisions – if actually continued – should be universally approved.
