Not true. It's not illegal for a offensive lineman to move after he is set. All 11 players simply must be set for one second prior to the snap. There is no restriction that requires them to remain motionless until the ball is snapped
In all sports, there are some rules that are alike. That's a given. But that doesn't man that rules can't be changed based on the skill and talent of the players.

Do you disagree with my assertion that some rule changes are made to make the game more entertaining?

I agree that some rules are changed to make the game less restrictive on players with more talent. I have no problem with that.
It just amazes me that you keep harping on the traveling rule. I can go to any pro, college, or high school game and point out to you, just as many travels that aren't called in one game as another. It's not just the NBA my friend. More traveling violations are ignored at the high school and college level than at the NBA level, based on the way the rules are written at each level. Their rules are simply different. We're the ones who are ignoring the rules.
