Besides refs what's your biggest beef with the NBA? 1. Threepoint line - I don't like it, now you have kids just in the game to sit behind the line and jack up shots. You just see guys all the time just standing behind it and it sets up kind of an area where, 'ah hell this is where i'll stand while our offense doesn't move.' 2. Court dimentions - You have much bigger players with much longer arms and quicker feet, I think the dimentions should be changed a little bit because it looks too crowded. 3. Sound at games - Way too much music and noise at arenas, it's ridiculous.
This year it's been a lot better but after 82 games I have a hard time with the playoffs taking half the summer as well.
You don't like the three point line? This coming from a Michael Redd fan I simply don't like the selfishness of players todayI also don't like how no one plays any defense

I dont like how the analysts try to compare Wade, Kobe, and Lebron to MJ. And even worse they try to say they are better than him. Just let them play their own way and be their selves.
Poor defense: It's espcially sad seeing guys just walk past the defenders to get into the lane for a lay up. Im a Raptor fan. I have to put up with weak defense a lot. I think coaches need to stress defense a lot more. The refs have to go easier on the defenders too. Dont get me wrong. I love seeing guys score 50. But 50 is definately not as impressive as it used to be...

Season standings. How stupid is it to have a 6th place team with a better recrod than a 3rd place team?Stern needs to address this soon.
Honestly the attitude and swagger of some of the players in the NBA piss me off, there is a lot ego problems in this league. Guys getting casually suspended in the playoffs from doing retarted things. It's frustrating when a key player gets suspended for some stupid out of line move in a game.
my biggest problem is with flops. it's so ridiculous nowadays.I also think there shouldn't be any guarenteed contracts, like in the nfl.
I will say I absolutely love the game and the NBA, but I do dislike these things:1. Playoff Format - that's all I gotta say. You know the deal.2. David Stern3. How strict the refs are. When the NBA was at its best (80's-90's) there were actually rivalries and tough play. Now if you breath on someone to hard (especially the stars) its a foul.4. Lack of defense.5. NBA player's swagger/attitude - Marbury saying he's playing his way, like "Starbury." AI/C-Webb showing up late for the game on fan appreciation night. Guys that don't work hard and only play for the paycheck. They are wasting talent.I think that's all. If I think of something else I will post it.

You know as well as me Michael Redd is in love with that thing. He was 12th in the NBA in 3 Point Attempts this season. Plus, you said you didn't like ti because it draws players out? Michael Redd is primarily a jump shooter. Yes he can get to the rim, evidenced by his FTs, but he is still primarily a shooter. You know it, I know it, everyone here knows it

Everyone knows he shoots and makes a lot of threes that he has a complete offensive game.
