Why even post this? There are other threads to talk in. What does it matter if you dont watch the NBA or you do?Agreed...I don't care to watch it and I don't care about the draft nor draft status of college players.

I feel like people haven't watched guys like Harden, Steph, Kyrie, Lebron, Simmons, Jokic, Luka, etc play.The below was just said in the same sentence
The game is all about driving then passing it out for a three
AND
There is no emphasis on passing
That's all it really is, ignorance. The people who say "the game is terrible now," are usually the same ones who say "I haven't watched since Jordan, Bird and Magic."I feel like people haven't watched guys like Harden, Steph, Kyrie, Lebron, Simmons, Jokic, Luka, etc play.
You can follow a specific team and find guys who have heart. You aren’t going to do that just following the nba as a whole and media narratives because they make everything out to be a dramatic thing.I’m a casual NBA fan. I think college basketball is better in terms of atmosphere and heart. Idk pro basketball feels like mercenaries playing for $ same for football.
Yea I have a boy who is a sixers fan too and the dude talks about how terrible the game is now yet whenever a game is on he’s never watching it. He doesn’t watch anything until the finals.That's all it really is, ignorance. The people who say "the game is terrible now," are usually the same ones who say "I haven't watched since Jordan, Bird and Magic."
They don't have a clue what they're talking about. They just assume it's bad because they haven't watched it.

The king is back!I've watched it, so have a lot of others. If anyone believes the game is better today I'd say they didn't watch 80's and 90's NBA. The game is boring, stale, and the players largely have no drive. The NBA was always going to crash down to earth, and it's happening. Reports coming out now that the contracts are going to take a massive hit over the next 5 years, and many of the advertisers are unhappy with the direction. just 3 years ago NBA fans were talking about the NBA becoming more popular than the NFL, lol. Now, they make excuses for why the NBA ratings are probably going to be lower than the MLB.
Some of this the players brought on themselves by being some of the biggest bitches in sports. Terrible attitudes all the way around. Who wants to see that shit? Constant assholes at all times then Lebron yuck. With the European style of play, it's just not a good product and it's definitely on the way down.
Not to turn this thread into that, but I just wanted to respond about the current setting in the NBA. I hope they turn it around at some point, but when you allow the players to completely run the league, I doubt it. I think the eventual revolt against Lebron will have a positive effect, he's done more to harm the league than anything. When players begin to lose their money (already are), he will be the first blamed.
Go Heat.
You not like him? Weird I thought he was universally loved. I like him but I don't ever see many people who don't

And yet they will willingly watch a college team struggle to make layups and break 60 points and claim it's better basketball.That's all it really is, ignorance. The people who say "the game is terrible now," are usually the same ones who say "I haven't watched since Jordan, Bird and Magic."

Good luck to your FG% stat if your league scores by categories.And here's my draft. I'd ask some of you to critique it, but there's no need, it's going to win me the title:
(Kristaps Porzingis is on my IR and grabbed Blake "jumpin the car" Griffin)

I had Curry ranked #6, right behind Dame, for this year's draft. He did take Davidson to the Elite Eight, and has won three NBA Championships, one without Durant, and three MVPs plus a Finals MVP. Before the injury he was the best shooter I've ever seen. I think he and the team will struggle this year. We'll see if he can get back to that level before his career is over, or if he is past his peak now.
Exactly, in all honesty if it wasn't for my love of Kentucky, I'd have very little interest in the college game.And yet they will willingly watch a college team struggle to make layups and break 60 points and claim it's better basketball.
I think the biggest difference in the game is players switch teams like UK switches on screens.
Bird and Celtics go together. Magic and the Lakers.
Lebron and the cavheatlakes
It used to mean something to win championships for one particular team.
What we’re seeing the college game become is what the NBA was in the 90s, except more three point shooting.I hate the style of play the NBA has evolved into.
The 90s were perfection for both it college basketball. Both were at their pinnacle. Once the NBA went to iso ball I lost interest. Now its evolved into so much outside shooting, big men jacking up 15-20 first. Give me the days of big men who were big men.
I might on occasion have a game on if no other sporting event is on. Its just incredibly boring. Too polished. NBA Jam TE edition.. Same boring ass script every game. Absolutely nothing compelling about its regular season. Load management....what a crock of bullshit.
College basketball meanwhile has gotten worse in the other direction. A damn rock chucking fest.
To be honest I don't care about the sport of basketball at all outside of UK. I'm good with football and baseball. But UK basketball is special. I wish we'd get back to it.
This is a UK basketball discussion forum.
There’s probably a few NBA places to land and discuss a bunch of overpaid, low effort, entitled feeling athletes. Some discussions are probably about the draft, the bubble, and maybe Stephen A. Smith’s unwanted opinion on something else that doesn’t matter.
Yet you care enough to post about how you don’t care about it.
What would you like to see from your team?I would love to get excited for the NBA but I just don’t know how.
I wish I could figure out a team to support. Could someone please help me out on why I should watch or what team should I support? Lol
All Ky playersWhat would you like to see from your team?
