The NCAA banned the slam dunk in 1967 because Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was so unstoppable that they wanted to slow him down. The NBA allowing the zone in 2001 was done so teams could double and triple-team Shaquille O&amp;#x27;Neal before he got the ball because he was so impossible to guard.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m definitely not saying they &lt;i&gt;should&lt;/i&gt; do this, of course, especially in the Olympics. Crippling dominant teams and players to promote competitive balance in team sports tends to be a more practical measure to keep fans of the crappier teams interested and paying.</text><parent_chain><item><author>ceejayoz</author><text>&amp;gt; It’s been speculated that the decision is a tactical one. Partly to deter other gymnasts who, frankly, do not match Biles in ability, from attempting the dangerous move, and partly to ensure that Biles does not score far beyond her peers by performing challenging moves other gymnasts cannot risk.&lt;p&gt;Score her fairly, and let her run away with it. That&amp;#x27;s the whole point of this level of competition - it&amp;#x27;s not supposed to be elementary school gym class where the goal is having fun and working some energy out. If she&amp;#x27;s got no one who can rival her, that&amp;#x27;s amazing and awesome.</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Simone Biles Makes History as First Woman to Ever Land Yurchenko Double Pike</title><url>https://www.teenvogue.com/story/simone-biles-first-woman-yurchenko-double-pike</url></story>
