Over the years, many NBA players have joined the league and eventually retired. As we grew up watching some of the extravigant players that made the NBA what it is today, the fame, the craze have come through generation to generation. Over time, there have been changes in the rules. And it hasn't happened that easily, as sometimes it only takes one amazing player to abuse a technique, until the league no longer has a choice but to make a change. Here are Shaquille O'Neal's dominance, Charles Barkley's stalling and 2 players who forced the NBA to change its rules [{ "selector": ".pimvz-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(-149px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".nlrtl-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 294px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".exhcl-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "0ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateY(-41px)", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateY(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }, { "selector": ".cwipz-a", "duration": "500ms", "fill": "forwards", "delay": "500ms", "keyframes": [ {"offset": 0, "transform": "translateX(calc(360px - 11px))", "opacity": 1}, {"offset": 1, "transform": "translateX(0)", "opacity": 1} ] }]

Charles Barkley

In the 90s, Charles Barkley and Mark Jackson were both fairly dominant players who spent a lot of time within the paint. The NBA implemented a 5-second paint violation.

Wilt Chamberlain

As a result of Chamberlain's dominance, the league's front office and commissioner prohibited inbound passes from being made over the backboard altogether.

Bruce Bowen

In his career, he was known for placing his feet under players when they shot. The NBA immediately changed the rules to ensure players had a safe landing spot during offensive possessions.
