How would you make the NBA better?
Monday, March 30th, 2009
I mean, how would you make it more “watchable”? NBA ratings are low. They are lower than they were last year. And last year was bad too, and this is the worst Finals ratings ever. Presumably it might have to do with the “style” of basketball played, ie people watch college ball, and they watch the tournament like crazy, so why don’t people watch the NBA? So, how would you fix it?
*Everyone always assumes that what the NBA needs is the next Jordan. Well, right before the Bulls started lighting people up, you had the Pistons who were AWFUL. Now the whole entire league is like the Pistons, and the Knicks. The worst thing that happened this year was the Spurs making it to the Finals. And unfortunately, the Cavs sometimes are more like the old Knicks/Bricks than the Jordan led Bulls.
I think that maybe going all out, and eliminating dribbling, and not calling fouls unless someone was injured might just “improve” NBA streetball. That’s where the NBA seems to be going anyway.
just caught five minutes or less of the game. this is awful. its like two handicapped retarded jungle ball teams playing each other. seriously, 50 minutes of bball, and all they can score is 60 points? King Lebron? heck, he can’t consistently hit a free throw much less a 3pointer. And that leaves only dunks (which he also misses). We have forgotten how much better Jordan was than these fools, cuz none of these guys can shoot.
