Back in the early days of basketball, there was a center jump after every made basket. The problem? This resulted in a terribly slow and boring game. So today, Rick unpacks the story of how that rule was changed and how it led immediately to higher scoring, both in college and in the professionals. This single rule change is what launched the game from its humble origins into a wildly popular attraction.
