    Phil Jackson says he rather watch Hockey then Basketball

    http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/blog/ey...-more-exciting

    "Watching the NBA; not that easy for me," Jackson said. "There's very little passing offense that goes on in the NBA anymore. Everything is off the dribble, on a screen roll, through the screen roll, so the innovation is very limited as far as what's going on. I find myself watching hockey playoffs before watching basketball playoff games."
    "You'd watch the NHL playoffs over the NBA playoff games?" Kremer quizzically asked.
    "Less commercials, more fun, much more action. Yeah."




    smart man

    Yay. But I'm not gonna go into the NBA forums and talk crap about it as a fail arse sport. It's true, though. The NBA is unbearable to watch. Crap passing, worse defense (except by guys that won't ever be on a poster) and officials that cheapen the game (and fixing is also a concern). Give me the college game all day. Heart/passion/team > some guy that they spend 50 minutes out of an hour sportscenter talking about.

    The NHL is great in the playoffs. It's even better live. Again, heart/passion/team > some random wanker that doesn't thank their teammates pretty much ever.... Although, I still won't go to a live NHL game anymore due to them canceling the season. That I can't ever forgive until Bettman is gone.

    Watch a random NBA Finals game from the 1980's sometime on ESPN Classic.

    You'd be stunned by how fundamentally bad this league is now vs. then. The only thing you can appreciate it for is the sheer athleticism, which is undoubtedly at its high point today.

    Take college basketball.

    Pass. Pass. Pass. Pass. Pass.

    35 seconds later.

    Nasty jumpshot. Interior layup.

    No flash. No style. No swagger.

    80% Shit athletes.

    Playoff hockey is good. Only watching star players though. Datsuk, Ovenchkin, Jagr, Grouix, Kopitar, Malkin, etc.

    obviously watching the toronto raptors or wizards is boring as hell to most canadians like rod.

    but watching lebron wade and kobe is amazing, you must admit.

    Are you trying to copy JJ's posting style ?
