This tradition continued long after both sports solidified, professionalised and the WNBA formed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Netball and Women\u2019s basketball are distinct games but the focus on shooting and passing as opposed to slam dunks in the WNBA is arguably more similar to the former than the NBA, particularly since the latter\u2019s <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/official.nba.com\/rule-no-10-violations-and-penalties\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eight-second backcourt rule<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is not in effect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The jump shot is used in both, innovated in netball to allow for impressive contested shots without a backboard but used in basketball to attempt shots both in and out of the arch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finally, and most fundamentally, the rise of netball inspired more team-focused basketball tactics, as opposed to a reliance on a star player.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This was seen in the WNBA\u2019s championship-winning Phoenix Mercury, and the \u201cSeven Seconds or Less\u201d Phoenix Suns in the NBA. Both teams relied on fast-paced team-focused passing play more reminiscent of netball than basketball as it was played at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With netball reaching heights and audiences it never has before, it will be interesting to see how influential netball will be in the years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Netball is a very distinctive sport compared to basketball despite their shared origins, but despite this, netball has had a lot to teach its older sibling.
