Well apparently the “game” has evolved to the garbage sport played daily in the hood and prison with no rules. Offensive fouls, palming the ball, walking are all BUT FORGOTTEN rules. Daily fights are now prominent and refereeing is just window dressing. Just seem to be 3 guys dressed in Halloween costumes trying to capture bubbles. Dr. Naismith would be turning in his grave. It appears more than evident “the Gate” is more important than the game. Alas, the true proponents of the sport have been sold out. What a shame and great compromise. The ones portraying themselves as players would not have the stats they have within the rulebook of yore. It has come to this, How disappointing.
Hmm More Fights and Fouls, as a Hockey Fan it seems that maybe Basketball is now worth watching. lol
Great article. It is spot on; however, it has been this way for several years now. I stopped watching professional basketball many years ago. Same thing with the NFL. I refuse to promote thugism.
