Re: What's the worst thing about the NBA? Im pretty sure the majority of the people here think the NBA is the best sport ever invented. My question is... What is the worst thing about the NBA?My list:- Guarenteed contracts.- The leagues rules that protect offensive players.- Players rarley play for the team.
Re: What's the worst thing about the NBA? This is a really good question.The way players whine to the refs has to be one of the most annoying things. (Antoine Walker). The players who play their ass off for one season just to get money then they suck after that. (Tim Thomas, Mark Blount). I think the NBA needs to re-assess this hip hop image too, I mean it's nothing against the hip hop culture, it's just the two seem to be intertwining together.
Re: What's the worst thing about the NBA? I would say the rules which lead to a parade of free throws, and the infusion of hip-hop into the game. its made a lot of players think they are also gangsters.
Re: What's the worst thing about the NBA? -Bad foul calls. It makes the NBA pussyish with these soft fouls.
Re: What's the worst thing about the NBA? - Guarenteed Contracts- The fact that it's the National Pussy Association now- Sterns stupid little changes- Lack of rivalries, tough play (I guess this does with the National Pussy Association comment)
Re: What's the worst thing about the NBA? Guaranteed contracts, this is the reason so many players act like they don't give a damn because they have $30 million coming no matter what happens to them. It's the worst thing for the game that I can think of, it's just ruining the game for me right now. Teams are stuck and can't do anything because a couple players stop caring and only cash the checks.The three-point line, I've always hated it, 99% of people don't agree with me but I don't care. Sure it's entertaining but it's hurt the quality of the game. Offensive bias in rules changes, everytime a guard goes inside it's a foul. It's pansyish and an embarrassment. Don't blame the ref's, blame the guys that have made the rules.
Re: What's the worst thing about the NBA? I think no contract over 10 million per year should be guaranteed.Worst people in the NBA:Mark CubanMr. DerpTWolves GM(name is slipping my mind right now)Isiah Thomasjust to name a few anyway.
Re: What's the worst thing about the NBA? Ticket Prices - They need to lower these prices, that way you can get the real fans in the games. At Pistons games it's almost a known fact that the lower seats are for rich people, and it's boring down there - the upper bowl is cheap, and is always fun as hell and crazy with the best fans. (I'm sure this is how it is for a lot of other arenas)Fouls Geared to help offensive players - Whatever happened to defense wins championships? We need to get defense back in the game, let's reward those who play defense. Over payed players - These contracts are way too high...maybe if players didn't get so much money it would be more competitive. (kinda like college, players play for their team not for the contract)Here is what I do want...I don't like that they don't do this:Referee Post Game Interviews - This is a little like how they do with the coaches and players - here the refs have a chance to defend themselves and answer questions about some calls.Here's something else:Add some kind of replay for the refs for controversial plays, a lot of times the announcers see something, and they're like oh Yeah, if was a bad angle for the ref...something like that. Challenges for coaches - Kinda like the NFL, give them a couple challenges, and it costs them timeouts.
Re: What's the worst thing about the NBA? The man controlling everything is the worst thing about the NBA. David Stern.
Re: What's the worst thing about the NBA? <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Whatever happened to defense wins championships?</div>Those teams still win titles. but the league doesn't like seeing Spurs-Pistons type matchups, thats why like a lot of you said they introduced all these gay rule changes.I don't have a beef with ticket prices, but thats because Im in Utah-home of the cheapest tickets in professional sports. season tickets here start out at like 200 dollars.
Re: What's the worst thing about the NBA? FLOPPING. I can't stand seeing a player throw his arms up and getting a call. it breaks my heart whena celtic does it. It's not basketball, and they shouldn't be getting away with it. :ranting:<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (ReppinTheD @ Oct 26 2006, 05:33 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}></div><div class='quotemain'>Here's something else:Add some kind of replay for the refs for controversial plays, a lot of times the announcers see something, and they're like oh Yeah, if was a bad angle for the ref...something like that.

Re: What's the worst thing about the NBA? the problem with challenges is the game of basketball is much quicker paced than football. by the time the ref heard the challenge the other team could have made a big play already.
Re: What's the worst thing about the NBA? The lack of defense in the leagueHardly anymore dominant Centers like ShaqStar treatmentthe fact that almost any physical cntact is called a foul nowPlayers who only play to get a contract :cough: Mike James :cough:how many platers get away with carrying, traveling, etc.David Stern and his stupid rules he's been makinglack of die hard fans compared to sports like football.

Maybe tell shaq to start breeding with other big woman, than teach their kids to play basketball...lol
Re: What's the worst thing about the NBA? The things I hate about the NBA- The rap and thug image it has.- David Stern and his retarded rules (banning players ripping off their warm-ups? Did it offend some religious group?). - Too many ticky-tack fouls- Kevin McHale (I'm a Wolves fan)
Re: What's the worst thing about the NBA? -Bill Walton commentating-The "no tights" rule.....just is unneccesery-Old players yacking about how much they would dominate in todays game-NBA.com-Mark Cuban-charges, most overrated and dumbest move ever in basketball

I used to think he was funny, but only about 1 in 600000 of his words are funny anymore. Just shut up Bill.-Hahaha, yeah, if they wanna look gay, let them-Yeah, I'm not a fan of former players talking about today's game either. Maybe Reggie Miller since he's played recently...-I prefer the old nba.com. this new one kinda sucks-Hell yes. Throw Mark Cuban's stupid ass out!
