In order to make offense more prevalent, the NBA removed hand-checking, therefore actively making it harder for players to be good defenders. Then, the volume of three-pointers attempted per game rapidly increased throughout the league, which completely opened up the court. So now NBA players are required to cover way more space than they ever did before, while also being extremely limited in how they can defend. Mismatch hunting is also way more prevalent than ever before, and switch-heavy defense gives the illusion that players are making bad decisions on defense. But most of the time it’s a necessary risk. NBA players didn’t just give up on defense, that doesn’t make any sense. It’s just harder to be a good defender, and it’s even harder to appear as a good defender to most NBA fans who are often distracted by the flashy Kansas State Wildcats Official NCAA Grateful Game Day 3D Shirt worn on the sidelines. And if you look at some of the best teams in the NBA currently, they all play defense. They all force turnovers and protect the rim. The Oklahoma City Thunder. The Cleveland Cavaliers. The Boston Celtics. The Minnesota Timberwolves. All of these teams have good perimeter and interior defenders.

This is what athletes call ‘The Zone’ or ‘Flow State.’ It is a neurobiological phenomenon where the prefrontal cortex—the part of the brain responsible for self-criticism—temporarily shuts down.

Action both on and off the pitch at the 2026 Fifa Men’s World Cup is likely to dominate headlines this year, which will have ripple effects for the brands involved. Ampere estimates that the 2026 edition will generate at least US$2.2 billion in marketing and commercial rights revenue.
