The sport of basketball just kind of sucks in general. Touch fouls leading to 40 free throws a game.

It’s not a good product and it’s very hard to watch.

All of this.

Plus the last 2 minutes of any close NBA game taking 20-30 minutes of actual time of 99% nothingness.

So the way the NBA chooses to officiate their league means the entire sport sucks?

Most people who think basketball sucks are completely unskilled turds that have no frame of reference to understand how incredibly difficult a lot of things in the game are.

I agree with this. Basketball is a rather ridiculous sport / game. Far inferior to football / baseball / golf / tennis and even soccer or hockey

This, along with the fact that 75% or more of regular season games the players don’t give 100%. They’re either “resting” or being lazy which leads to the majority of games being non-competitive, blow outs.

Oh… and then you mix in the NBA constantly force feeding the viewers one-sided politics. Yea the NBA sucks.

I know you’re talking about basketball in general and not a specific time frame, but it’s always nice to point out that the league shoots about 35% fewer free throws and fouls 35% fewer times than they did in 86-87.

Some people like to act like it’s bad now when the truth is it’s about as good as it gets.
