It's not the teams. It's the game. NBA ball differs vastly from the college game. Slam dunks should be a 1 point score. Either that or the rim should be at 12 feet. The personality disorders that go on display by overgrown adolescents before, during and after the games are cringe worthy at the very least. I could go on but if you love the NBA experience, you'll still be unconvinced.
I love college basketball but the past few years it has been horrible. Most of the kids can’t score and its not because of great defenses around the country, its a lack of fundamentals. The NBA has drastically improved over the years and that’s a fact and the games have typically been exciting for the most part in the playoffs. Yes they are super athletes that can dunk over one another but if you don’t have fundamentals in the NBA then you are either sitting on the bench most of the time or not playing in the league at all. People tend to half a nostalgic view of the NBA in the 80’s and mid 90’s but the past few seasons are not far behind saved for the weakeness of the Eastern Conference
Fair enough. I grew up in San Antonio, and watched the ABA Spurs play in Hemisphere Arena.
It is not so much that I love the NBA experience, but heh, the Spurs make the playoffs(or better) every damn year.
Except for the one season before we fired that freak Rodman, the Spurs have always been low key, gentlemanly ball players.
