Ill be honest.

a lot of NBA's players actions on and OFF the court have turned me away from watching a sport I once loved more than any , as far as watching it on the tube. I never remember missing a televised playoff game and I used to play hookey from work on the opening days of the NCAA tourney.. but those days have past!

The drug busts, the aggravated assaults, the pettiness on the court, the showboating on the court, It isnt a game anymore. Or at least the game i was taught!

What it has become is 1 on 1 with 8 other guys watching !

There is travelling on every play, there is hacking on every play, there is too much physicality on every play. The refs were told to put their whistles away and they havent brought them back out!

They cant shoot "lights out " any longer, they set behind the 3 point line and wait for the ball and either throw it up or wait for a defender to come out so they can "face" them with some lethargic move to the basket only to be hacked 56 times on the way there without a foul being called and or carrying the ball for 3-4 steps!

Fighting happens in all sports, baseball, football, hockey it doesnt matter emotion and anger , a will to win, competitiveness will bring fighting to the table every time!

The NBA should worry more about what the game has evolved into and forego punishing the passion of some players!

Very well said Steve!
I agree, although I admit it is still my favorite sport.

Peace

So your kids are allowed to watch everything you watch on TV, and they are allowed to stay up until you go to sleep. If they do, it would be the first time I've ever seen that before. wink.gif

I agree with everything you said except this.

It may be somewhat of a 1 on 1 show, but the Dynasties of the past 10 years (Spurs,Pistons) are very quick to show that in the NBA, 1 on 1 shows don't win.

#1
I do not watch alot of television.
So to answer your question yes.

#2
What time children go to sleep compared to what time the parents go to sleep is not a good example of "Do as I say and not as I do".

#3
I do not even know why I am having this conversation with you. Feel free to think and believe what you may. Please, do not not let me or anyone else sway you. Come to your own conclusions and make your own personal philosophy about life. Subscribe to no ones ideology. Make your own.

Peace

No one blames McGrady. But pushing someone half your size to the ground gets no respect in my book. Thats bully/punk move. Period.

I like McGrady. I think he's one the best in the league at his position but that doesnt erase the stunt he pulled.

Did Shaq not also push someone ''half his size''?
