It's not that they don't play hard. They don't hustle or play defense at times
Forget contesting a fast break.

When are players not playing hard?
It's 5 one on one games.

Yeah, trying to make more money with something that does nothing to the game product is such a bad move...

No defense
No hustle until playoffs
Regular season is a glorified pre-season (any team worth a damn makes playoffs)
Almost all blacks
ETA:
Tickets are absurdly over priced
Season too long (time period)
Atmosphere doesn't compare to college
Players are "thugs"
Playoffs seem to last two months
What I miss?
Well done!

I'm not saying I agree with that, just that those are popular reasons.

It's not expensive. For some teams you can sit up high for like $11 and down low for $30ish
And you don't foul on fast early because. because its a dumb foul and unless you foul hard not only are u.getting a foul probn going to get a and 1.
With that said players plenty of times pick ip the stupid foul esp young ones.
Reason you.don't give.up points on a drive to paint is.you r in front of them or help rotates over, on a fb you are norm chasing them from.behind

My only issues with the NBA;
The playoffs are too long
The season is a little long too (I usually don't start paying a lot of attention until January)
The officiating- (The stars get the calls. The no defense is a result of the refs not calling offensive fouls IMO. Call the game like it is supposed to be called.)
Flopping!!!
Competitive imbalance. It's hard to care about a team or game when we all know it will be the Heat, Thunder, Pacers, Lakers and Celtics at the end of the year.

I love watching UA basketball. I'd rather go to a Bama basketball game than a football game, but I hate watching the NBA. I just can't stay interested. I also love college football, but hate the NFL.

All u peeps hating on the NBA
Playoffs are the best part, why would u complain they are too long
NBA employs the best athletes in the world, if u cant admire players' athletic prowess, i dont know
1000% more entertaining than baseball, i like how the season is long. What would u rather be doing, watching Netflix on wednesdays?
yEAH they dont call traveling most of the time.. 2 reasons : the refs simply have a hard time catching it bc the players are so quick and the nba is trying to sell a flashy product, not calling walking leads to more explosive plays
I guess I appreciate the NBA jst bc i can appreciate how elite the athletes are....
eta: forgot this point was made: tix are not expensive, hornets games along with the other bottom half of the nbas games are dog shite cheap
eta2: and calling nba players all a bunch of thugs is the stupidest most ignorant crap. you have a few sure, but so does the NFL.

I don't like the NBA much at all.
College is 20x better.
I'll watch about any Top 25 college matchup, I won't watch really any NBA game all regular season.
I'll check OKC score updates on my phone, but that is about it.

When our children are our age the NBA will have supplanted the NFL. When head injuries and other health concerns, the NBA will be the dominate league in 2035.. maybe sooner

I wish...but this will never happen. The NFL has a cult like following.
