The truth of basketball is done in competition and fundamentals and team, but there's a lot of other junk that goes around the game.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
For a competitive junkie like me, golf is a great solution because it smacks you in the face every time you think you have accomplished something. That to me has taken over a lot of the energy and competitiveness for basketball.
Basketball is basketball.
The game of basketball is one thing, but the image of the game is another thing.
Basketball is so unique. It's both a team and an individual sport.
The business always gets in the way of basketball.
When it gets down to it, basketball is basketball.
Technology is changing the world; it's changing our sport. It's changing the way people are following the NBA.
The league is changing, and we don't have many back-to-the-basket players. We now have a game that requires skill and versatility. A lot of that is about being able to think. It makes all the difference in the world to have a player in there with a high basketball IQ who can make the right decision.
Basketball is one of those rare opportunities where you can make a difference, not only for yourself, but for other people as well.
The only thing wrong with the NBA - or any other professional sport, for that matter - is a wild epidemic of Dumbness and overweening Greed. There is no Mystery about it, and no need to change any rules.
