Basketball in USA is fading

I agree, the quality is not near the same. Expansion has diluted the talent and not as much team play instead of one-on-one.
Another thing, in the NBA, just about everyone runs the same offense, and the defnese is so tight. I couldn't even watch the league pass the other night because every game they were shooting about 30 % and there were a couple that were like 32-29 at the half. Watch those classic games and they are running and gunning, not dribbling around waiting for the one isolation.

Again, watched about 15 min. of this crap again last night. Seriously, who watches this stuff besides gamblers???

I do not think its fading that much...I think after the Superbowl it picks up steam IMO

I agree fish, this garbage called the NBA is not even close to basketball. I cant watch it.
Their All-Star game is a joke. The players dont give 100%. Half the teams make the playoffs. Now we got to go through the Lebron hype. The NBA has become one big Harlem Globetrotter circus. The fouls in the last minute of games. Unlessone has action on a game, they would never watch it.

I think it's funny..
..you've got a bunch of guys who have no fundamentals making millions and millions of dollars playing us like fools....
then you have people who call the players in the NBA thugs cause they have some tats and braids, but yet you see them crying after a loss..Yeah those guys are real hardcore, wouldn't want them sneakin up on me in the middle of the night in a Benz with a posse...
Last time I checked my local rude boyz didn't drive a bentley they are out hustlin trying to pay the rent and could give a flyin fuk about anything..
Thugs in the NBA, it's an oxymoron, thugs don't play ball..
You guys who cry the "Hood" took over the NBA don't know how out of touch you look and sound..LOL!! "HOOD" I think people started saying that like 17 years ago "Diss" 22 years ago ...You'll get the lingo that's used now in about 10 years..keep letting the good "TEL LIES VISION" (T.V) be your guide,
..Lack of fundamentals is killing the game, that's why we're seeing so many Euros..

STRUTT...................from a booking point of view you are totally wrong......20 years ago wagering on baskets wasnt nearly as popular as it is today........as for the integrity of the game itself, you are correct.......
