The Rule

In 2006, NBA Commissioner David Stern implemented a new rule for the NBA Draft. With the goal of furthering player development before entering the league, Stern raised the minimum age requirement to 19, one year removed from high school. The rule has had some unintended consequences.

The NBA draft has gone through many adjustments over the years, but it can credit a very important piece of its current form to one guy. So how did one player shape the NBA Draft as we know it?

The tiebreaker is one of the most exciting parts of a tennis match, and has elevated tension for players and fans since its installment in the 1970s. So why won't tournaments like Wimbledon add one for the final set?

All star games have seen many forms over the years since they were first created in 1933. They were once thriving events packed with the hottest competition sports could offer. But now they're dying. So what happened?

In the 2014 FIFA World Cup, Arjen Robben drew a game winning penalty kick in the dying minutes of his Round of 16 game against Mexico. There was a grey area surrounding the validity of the foul. Robben had clearly done his best to exaggerate the trip. This questionable flop could have been prevented, by the referee no less. All he had to do was penalize Robben for previous flops in the game. So why didn't he?

Four years later, the in-game antics of players have only gotten worse. Still, players escape without punishment for clear embellishment. If FIFA wants flopping out of its own game, what's stopping them?
