    It's time for a second pro basketball league.

    Incentive driven. No Euro-step. Players who know to play weak side defense at the end of the game.


    The NBA is a shell of what it use to be in the 90's. I don't understand why people are still watching it????

    I think a secondary league should be made where players get paid only if they win (or get paid 2x more then the losing team. I can only imagine how intense it will be.

    Its a different game knowing you only get paid for the game if you win.

    Exactly!! Nobody cares as long as the NBA gets their TV money and the players get their cut.

    Too many places to play now in the world that pay good wages. NBA is saturated in almost all of the major cities now. Leagues like the old ABA in the 70's would never make it nowadays.

    i watch the rockets' broadcasts on the local hsn network, only for the "return from commercial" moments when they show the bad ass Rocket's power dancers shakin' their asses or about 10-12 seconds as the announcers babble about some bullshit in the background....

    good "quick jerk" material.....

    Euro step is a legal play. Sick move.

    Think 90s was maybe a better era overall but this era has better players. And the defense is definitely better in this era. If you asked guys in the 90s to play with today's rules they would struggle as well. It's basically impossible to guard the elite players like Durant Lebron Curry Melo etc 1 on 1 in this era. Tell me a 7 footer in the 90s who could put the ball on the floor, average 5 dimes, score 30 every night, run the point, etc (Durant). PLayers like this didn't exist in the 90s. You can barely touch those guys too which makes it impossible. Bigs were great in that era, but look at the bigs now. Ant Davis? Towns? Cousins? These guys can do everything and also shoot 3s.

    It's just a different era bro, you should appreciate the skill level. It's at an all time high. I don't like the reg season as much because too many fouls in this era, but when playoffs roll around, the veteran refs basically throw those rules out and it goes back to extremely physical basketball.

    Love the playoffs.

    NBA is more a form of entertainment now where the player's brand is more important than the game. It's not much different than pro wrestling at this point.

    i'm better than 30% of d1 college players. can easily be a 9th man on msu and mich teams right now. currently. college teams are a joke. you have about 10 quality nba future players in the entire country. COUNTRY. 10.

    Great logic. Just like my wagers.

    Travels gotta be called agree. Even guys coming down off screen then doing a little hop and positioning themselves, don't like that shit. Been going on forever. Reggie Miller and Rip Hamilton do that shit more than anyone.
