3-pt shooting, no defense, 1 player just driving and a move or kick-out for a 3 is boring; players travel, carry the ball, and just stand around. The game is horribly lame and boring. I like basketball. I have tried to watch NBA. I just can’t do it. College is mostly fun to watch yet.

College basketball is better than ever. It’s early yet, and I’ve already seen some stellar games.

“College is mostly fun to watch yet.”

Wish it wasn’t going the same way. In the rules of each of the books, NCAA and National Federation, there is a line that says just because there is contact doesn’t neccessarily constitute a foul.

You mention everything but the pushing off, off arm pushing by dribblers, intentional fouls never called as such, and disrespect for the game, the officials, and the fans being way out of line. The people who watch the game can put up with the failure of the players to be talented as it is nothing but size and contact. But they can’t put up with their flipancy by the players while they are receiving way over paid checks coming from over priced seats, snacks, and parking. And it is getting into lower level ball now until it is no longer basketball but gladiators.

Fast break down the court, then they stop and pop a 3. The 3 point shot is killing the NBA. Boring...
