This is a much better solution than asking the players to avoid making the billion point shot, or to cradle the ball and let that shot timeout. If we couldn't disable that reward like that, we wouldn't play that game in league.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">For those who don't know, most scores on BoP range from 5-15 million.
