i'm not making a point, just wanna make sure the scenario i made is legal so i can go all out slapping people's balling hand hard to get steals & blocks.

i play pick up games and i usually go for clean steals & blocks where i don't hit player's hand. but being able to hit them makes everything much easier. especially blocking jump shots from behind them.

There's a reason you don't see this tactic used more often...because it's near impossible to try and slap the hand on purpose.

And you're likely going to get some part of the wrist.

Hah, try enforcing "rules" in pick up ball and you'll probably get run outta the gym

Yep, or worse.
