Definitely have to move the three-point line back it is a horrendous productComment -
The ratio is not right - to get 50% more for a long shot is out of line.
Twink it.
What if there were 4 points for a long shot and 3 points for all others.
If fouled you get 1 free throw that counts either 3 or 4.Comment -
Ironically what you are saying people were saying the opposite a few years ago
What happened to scoring they said
Games use to have more offense
Well, now we have it and people say where is the defense
NBA was always unwatchable if you ask meComment -
move the 3 point line back i agree. i think that would solve a lot of issues.Comment -
The best conversations always involve old white guys and the NBAComment -
that not true, you can talk to the average person on the street and most will say they could not give a damn about the nba, but love watching the college game....unless you are in the bad part of your city...Comment -
You can’t compare the NBA to college basketball. The NBA has the best of the best athletes, not necessarily players and shooters. The reason the NBA is what it is right now is because of the pay scale. Shooting 3’s and 3 point accuracy is rewarded, dominating the post pays the least. Moving the 3 point line won’t help. The thing that I notice the most about today’s NBA that is unwatchable is that no team knows how to double team and let the weakest link make them beat you. Teams lose the same way to different teams every night.Comment -
Get rid of Adam Silver and roll back many changes.Comment -
lol i know you kidding on that one, or maybe i live in one of the best college basketball state here.nba is not on the chart here, but college basketball is at the top.......Comment -
one thing too that is missing the great rivals between teams too back in the day boston against lakers bulls against knicks or pistons..........hell when duke and unc play here in my state, everything stop for that gameComment -
With the way the players are today, all friends, let each other score at will, no defense, no intensity its a poor product that the league and media deny. Ratings are made up when hardly anyone watches. I really don't anyone that watches. Of the hundreds of ex athletes I know almost everyone watches NFL/ college football. Maybe half watch some baseball and college hoops. Maybe 4 or 5 watch the NBA occasionally. It's garbage.Comment -
Well said & accurate, especially your first sentence.
It's funny how ppl will talk about how much better athletes there are in today's league.
But the fact is those Bulls, Pistons, Lakers, Spurs squads would crush these pathetic teams today.
Can you imagine the look on their faces when/if the players today faced a team who actually could & would play D against them??
They would be like "WTH is this refs?!?. That guy actually tried to get in my way when i drove to the rim!"Comment -
LOL. The NBA has never played defense. When they had man-to-man rules, they all played zone.
They used to allow guys to get up on guys and bang them around which is not really basketball.
The three-point shot is a bomb. These guys are just good.
Do away with the 3-point shot, do away with the shot clock. These would all be unpopular with fans because they like high scoring.
The great thing about the old days was all the funky shots people had. It was more street ball than today.Comment -
The product is a joke. The fact that Whites do not appreciate Blacks with basically no talent other than to shoot a ball, make millions per year. There can be no doubt that the game is dying. It is terrible and unwatchable.Comment -
Basketball is a young man's sport. The kids watch basketball to learn how to play. After that, it is boring.
I used to hate it when the old guys would complain about the dunk. Now I know what they were talking about.Comment -
Integrate with the WNBA. Seriously, what's the difference?
Can't touch.Comment -
We need a second league based on the game from the 90's. Also, everyone getting paid based on incentives.Comment -
Is it even possible to move it back in the corners, which is already shorter?Comment -
You guys are just getting old. When you start complaining about the music and sports, you know time has passed you by. Find something interesting like fishing or gardening.Comment -
This all started when the NBA got rid of illegal defense.Comment -
LoL nope
If that were the case, we'd be complaining about all other sports too
You wanna bad.the NBA sucks?
Bad enough that years ago I followed & capped it religiously, making profit almost yearly (all documented), but it got so terrible, I lost interest and stoppedComment -
Have not watch since finals
firget it was even going onComment -
We all know there's more passing in the NFL today
But they haven't stopped playing & concentrating on defense
Everyone knows that for the most part, defense wins Championships in all sports
The NBA is the only league today who totally ignores thatComment -
Super teams killed the fanbase.
Milwaukee the ONLY team between the coasts anyone watching
16 franchises really have no purpose of even playingComment -
too many problems to fix
I don't know where to beginComment -
That's because basketball is the only team sport in which 1 superstar can put a team on his shoulders and carry them..
And since they are free & few between in basketball, the lucky teams who land them are the only ones with a shot
In other sports no matter how good a stud you have, he still needs a solid team around him.
And that's another thing that sucks about The NBA today.
There aren't as many superstars as there used to be.
Lebron basically had a red carpet to the Finals with zero competitionComment -
when was the last time you heard someone say, i cant wait for the weekend to see nba team a play nba team b.that all you need to know that the people are not watching this sport todayComment
