I used to love basketball as a kid.
I think the 3-point shot ruined the game.
I would put flopping (on par with some of the worst in soccer), offensive charging fouls that aren't called, and perhaps the most biased refereeing in all of pro-sports at the top of the list.
I’m probably in the minority, but I even miss the pre-shot clock days in the college game.
I agree. The three point, and the dunk took a lot of the finesse out of the game, along with almost never being called for traveling, even though going to the basket these days almost always involves a travel. Now it’s either play rough inside or just go outside for any easy three. I say easy because when you practice something endlessly it become easy, or at least a lot less difficult.
