Compared to Soccer? Yep. But in general, today's NBA isn't a game worth watching. No fundamental skills.
But if Soccer player's couldn't hack it in a child's game like the NBA, it kinda says it all.
Actually, soccer, and to a considerable extent, several other sports, have become venues for public assaults. Let the federations and leagues rule the sports, but videotape everything and start taking thugs and felons to court instead of fining them or celebrating them in sports magazines. If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen.
