What NBA record John Amechei did during his stint in the NBA?
NBA is failing because of all the new rules changed the game. There is more zone defense and ticky tac fouls now than ever before. Right now if you just touch a player dribble on the perimeter it is a foul. Its given players like Nash room to flourish because they are not physical players.All the new rules have changed NBA into a gentleman's game. No touch no foul. Refs may call it inconsistently sometimes because they dont like certain players but overall it has changed from a more physical game in the 80-90s to a soft sport.
The excitement is certainly gone. Now the league relies on 3 point shooting to get crowds riled up, but honestly how fun is watching someone shoot a 3 pointer? You may like it because your team scores but from an overall aesthetic view point it is pretty bankrupt.
Just my 2 cents.

How many children does Micheal Jordan have?
Overall, it's the second most popular league behind the NFL. I'm not clear on if your ratings comparison is locally oriented or national but among the general public, basketball is more popular than baseball. One drawback that basketball has is that a lot of viewing is divided up between college and pros, perhaps...I could watch basketball all the time, but I agree with Footballer when he said the series are too long. I've been saying for a while now that they should go back to 5 game first rounds. It can be boring at times, especially when you have two lackluster teams battling it out for 7 games.
Would the NBA need it's leaving the bench rule if it had fewer African American players?
Source?If basketball if falling behind baseball, then there is definitely a problem. But if u think about it basketball is all about stars. So since D-wade and Kobe left, thatll make some people not watch. But basketball is doing fine. As the playoff go on, it only gets better.More Questions & Answers...
