Charles Barkley Says 'I’ve never seen the NBA as bad as it is'

The amount of stars in barkley's day was amazing. There isn't near that today.

The talent in the NBA draft is so shallow every year it's pathetic. If you pick toward the end of the first round, you're not getting much most likely. Meanwhile the NFL has UDFA success stories on the reg. That said, I honestly don't know how to fix the problem but one and dones aren't helping anything.

NBA has been boring for years. This is nothing new.

The same junior year rule applied to football should be applied to basketball. Take your chance out of high school or stay in school and develop.

AAU didn't kill player development. I can agree with Charles that the NBA has more players who have less fundamental skills than in the past. However, it is due to the increased athleticism due to more people playing basketball. Many players make up for a lack of skill with superior athleticism. They are as good overall as more fundamental players of the past due to their athleticism. However, that may make the game a little sloppier. But it's the coaches and GM's who want the athletes even if those athletes might not possess the same fundamental skills as some lesser athletes.

AAU basketball killed player development.

I agree! NBA basketball season from me is April until June. I don't watch any regular season games because they are brutal to watch.

Kobe > Jordan
