I'm not coming here to get on a soapbox and cry about stupid things BUT,
Is anyone else tired of watching the degradation of skills in college and the nba?
It seems that every year that passes it gets worse and worse

Have you seen Elfrid Payton handle the rock?

The officials allow these guys to carry on almost every possession and these guys grabbing the ball and jumping ate traveling everytime but never get called.
They don't have to learn to dribble properly.

Poor FT shooting bothers me more than this

You're way off base on this IMO. It's not individual skills that have degraded in the higher levels of basketball.
The lost skills today are team skills. Teams don't run offenses like they used to, everything is isolation, pick and roll, or a quick hit set. It shows on defense as well, a lot of teams don't seem to be working together on defense as much as just individually guarding guys.
If there is a lost individual art in basketball today it's post moves

Prime example of people who don't know what the frick they're talking about just spewing the same shite over and over until they believe it.
The NBA is littered with excellent ball handlers.

The shitty free throw shooting bothers me more than dribbling

When I played, our coach would get so pissed off if we dribbled it too much. I agree, people dribble too much.

College sure, but that's because the low age reqs to play in the NBA have made sure all the NBA-ready high schoolers jump right in.
Consequently the NBA is at its highest level of talent across the league ever
You're just getting old dude

I read this
And then think about Julius Randle, Anthony Davis, and some other big guys bringing it up the court like a damn PG. If the guards have lost the art of dribbling, the bigs have seemed to have gained it.
I do think there are some skills that have been lost among some of the top guys coming out of AAU into college. And I'm talking simple stuff like boxing out, passing (James Young damn near gives me an aneurysm sometimes over this), and free throw shooting. But on the flipside I've seen some better shot blocking as a whole and a larger range of guards who can physically take it to the hoop (I think Baloo's comment about the interpretation of traveling probably contributed to this). This season with UK, I've seen one of the better rebounding teams in the country and they do a much better job of tracking the miss then I've seen previous teams do.
It seems to be more a shift in skills than anything on the college level. Some skills are definitely lacking. Some aren't.
