It's easy to fix.
They just need to allow hard fouls and change rules to give advantage to defense.
Then all this pusses will end up in hospitals or will start playing the game...
Preach on brother!
That's why the first couple dream teams totally destroyed the world in international play. The NBA game was always more physical and just flat out harder. Our players had to. Deal with that day in and day out so international play was easy.
Nowadays, international basketball is the more physical game. The guys in return are more skilled and the coaches are flat out better cuz they learned from the best here. Thing with international guys is they respect the game.
Another thing, stop saying fundementals!!! Some sports writer said that and everyone is running with it. Its not about just knowing the perfect stance on defense or how to make a lay-up. Its about knowing the game inside and out. Guys in the league know more about jewelery, cars, clothes and gagets then they do the game of basketball.
Bullleeedat!
Totally in agreement here. They wanted more scoring, they wanted more drivng to the hoop, the pat riley/gundy/fratello/ grind out half court game was suppose to be boring. Remember how it was almost impossible to score a 100 in this league, so they decided to change the rules and flow of the game.
Now they say if a team scores a 100 on you, you basically are a non defensive team, yet if you score a 100+ and give up a 100+ ( like the suns, and wizards) your probably not a serious championship contender.
ESPNs sportcenter has a huge role in the changing of how sports are percieved..although there quick to spot shadow a defensive laspe during a highlight, there more eager to show a guy flying in for a ridiculous shot that goes in or a guy who makes 7 treys in a game.
This is why almost none of those allstars (except for the obvious ones) belong on the roster. It had to be one of the worse allstar weekends I ever witness
