Why People Get This Wrong

People often assume that social media rules in Creator Basketball only apply to players, not teams, leading to arguments about whether a team's overall behavior off-court is enough to disqualify them or just fine them. However, the official rule clearly states it applies to entire teams for violating specific creator-specific social-media guidelines set by the league.

Why People Get This Wrong

People often think that the +1 bonus point for a successful highlight possession can be earned in every single quarter, which isn't true according to the official rules. Actually, there's only one such opportunity per game, granted by a successful highlight play during a Creator possession, and it counts towards the total points at the end of the match.

Why People Get This Wrong

People often assume that a highlight possession only awards bonus points if it's an actual game-winning shot, forgetting that any successful highlight can earn +1 point as long as it meets the criteria set by the official rules. This oversight leads to misunderstandings about when and how these bonuses are applied in Creator Basketball.

Why People Get This Wrong

People often assume that the one successful highlight possession per quarter bonus applies only to actual game play, forgetting that it includes all highlights, whether they're part of a real scoring opportunity or just an entertaining moment on camera. This leads to misunderstandings about when and how these bonuses can be claimed.

Why People Get This Wrong

People often assume that Creator Basketball's smaller roster size means fewer opportunities for players to showcase their skills compared to traditional basketball leagues, but actually, it's designed to highlight creativity and innovation in gameplay, with a focus on team strategy and individual flair within such limited numbers.

Why People Get This Wrong

People often argue that the pre-event medical screening is too strict, thinking it's unnecessary given their good health. But they misunderstand how serious injuries can be in high-intensity sports like Creator Basketball (NBA Creator Cup), where confusion arises because a single mistake or collision can lead to severe harm.

Why People Get This Wrong

People often assume that mouthguards are mandatory in Creator Basketball just like knee pads and ankle braces, which leads to misunderstandings about their necessity and availability on court. The confusion arises because the official rule specifically states that a mouthguard is optional, not required for participation.

Why People Get This Wrong

People often assume that the modified game length of four 8-minute quarters means each quarter is strictly 8 minutes, forgetting that there's a clock running during each possession, which can cause the clock to run out even before the full 8 minutes are up if teams aren't efficient with their shots and possessions.

Why People Get This Wrong

People often assume that the hoop height in Creator Basketball is always 10 feet regardless of the time of year, but the official rule specifies it's based on NBA standard dimensions used during off-season weeks, which can lead to misunderstandings about when and where specific hoop heights apply.

Why People Get This Wrong

People often assume that highlight plays are awarded based solely on their creativity, forgetting that they must also be scored during gameplay for bonus points to apply. The confusion arises because highlight plays can't earn extra points without first being converted into a regular basket.
