Rodman's visit brings to light North Korea's oddball scoring system

North Korean basketball scoring rules more resemble MTV’s Rock n Jock more than the NBA – all that’s missing is the 50-point basket.

NBA Hall-of-Famer Dennis Rodman’s visit to the country has sparked renewed talk in the odd basketball rules that teams in the country abide by. Rules that are almost as ridiculous as Rodman considering himself as a potential peace-maker between North Korea and the United States.

The different rules include dunks being worth three points, losing a point for missing a free throw, swished three-pointers counting as four points and most incredibly – and potentially exciting – is that baskets within the last three minutes are worth eight points.

I like those rules a lot actually.

Makes for a more fun game.

More dunks. Better swishes.

Penalizing bad FT shooting.

Baskets in the last three minutes worth more (crunch time scoring).

I can see basketball evolving in that way in the future. I think Crunch time hoops should count as 5 points and only in the last 2 minutes of the game.

That is a pretty cool concept. Kind of like the basketball machines at arcades.

RIP Crushalot😞

They should attack a magnet to the ball that can be activated after a guy makes a few in a row. 'He's on fire!' or if one team is down by alot. NBA Jam in real life. Get it done.
