The NBA creates a ‘Reggie Miller rule’ in order to punish shooters attempting to kick defenders

For years, the much-celebrated NBA "points of interest" have made an otherwise dreary autumn quite interesting. Whether it's an increased crackdown on traveling, hand-checking, flopping, churlish behavior sent the way of referees, or the post-introduction spectacles that were ruining the sport of basketball, the NBA loves to applaud itself for showy declarations sent to its referees. Declarations that hit the media soon after, obsessed over in October and November, and usually forgotten by February.

The newest in this long list is a so-called "Reggie Miller Rule," designed to stop one of the go-to moves of a player that played his last game over 89 months ago. From the Boston Globe's Gary Washburn:

I can remember when Kobe got suspended a couple games for flailing his arms out elbowing someone after a shot.

This will be tough if there are any shooters that still do this out of habit.
