NBA is unwatchable

Just turned it to NBA and watched 10 total possessions. 9 of them were 3 point attempts with virtually no offensive plays. Of the 9 attempts 6 were bricks.
The sport has turned into a 3pt chucking competition

And everyone on every team thinks they can and is allowed to shoot the three. If you 7 footer is shooting threes there is no one to rebound but I guess that doesn’t matter.

The NBA is nothing but street basketball. No discipline.

I have not watched an NBA game in eight years. Even MLB has turned into a home run hitting contest. I guess the thinking is let's do as little as possible to make as much $$$ as possible. That's what made the NHL's Four Nations games so compelling. The players on these teams actually wanted to win badly. Just don't see this in so many other games.

You can thank Golden State for that bs. Everyone thought they could be the splash brothers, unfortunately they are not.

I watched a few minutes at a restaurant the other night and agree but for the opposite reason. Every play was a dunk with little to no defense

I stopped watching years ago when referee Tim Donaghy was convicted of betting and fixing games. Additionally he conspired with other refs to show preferential treatment to some players while penalizing other with bogus calls (fouls, traveling). Once a sport gets tainted like that, the problem never really goes away.

There are no role players anymore. So boring and all the characters are gone, and I’m only 34 so I’m not just yelling at the clouds. Even from late 90s to mid 2000s it is completely unrecognizable

Loved Magic, MJ, Bird and that period of Basketball. Then they got into politics and I lost interest. I don't need Basketball players who have never had a job hating me because I'm not black.

You actually get maximum effort from the players and everyone is available - neither of which is always the case in the regular season.
You arent going to see many set plays at any time though - just a handful for special situations. Mostly there are just offensive concepts like pick and roll, inside-out, drive and kick, etc. These guys play with each other so much thar they just understand what to do and where to be on the floor without any need to draw it up on a whiteboard.
