What are some of the things that annoy you about the NBA?Here's mine:-When Lebron James shoots jump shots. He has the ability to get to the rim at any time. The idea that he would take a lower percentage shot is troubling-Supid fouls such as one's 20 feet away from the basket. Sure the guy might've fouled him but that doesn't mean you have to call it-Calling 4 point plays when the guy flopped. Classic move, flop and the ref will call a foul, annoying.-The lack of smart pgs who don't care about themselves. All pgs wanna do now is score and be in the news. It's sad........
When the commentators and analysts of teams talk about other teams like they're crap. I can proudly say the Pete Pranica and Sean Tuhoy are nothing of that sort. They analyze the game, but of course give a Memphis prespective most of the time.
Things about the NBA that annoy me. - The short Jew running the NBA.- The game being interrupted every 30 seconds.- Cheap touchy calls in the paint.- The obsession of overseas marketing.- The three-point line and the players obsession with it.- Players not working for better shots.- The seemingly more popular small/running game aka garbage ball.- The ridiculously long regular season.- The ridiculously long post-season.- TV commercials every 5 minutes- 3 hour games- Stupid announcers (Pretty much everyone except Hubie Brown).- How swingmen score 30 every other night off 15 FT's.- Too many teams in the league causing 'one superstar, bleh team' syndrome.- The 10 teams in the NBA who's management seems to give two-shits about success.- Larry Harris aka the bastard-child running the Milwaukee Bucks.
-The Media always on LeBron and Kobe's case. They always praise Kobe and I hate it even though I know hes great. And when LeBron cant do something they criticize him. Then once he learns to do it they hop on his dick.-Inconstancy-Injuries
- Listening to Jason Kidd talk. He thinks hes black.- Listening to David Stern. His voice is so drawling and boring.- Listening to Hubie Brown. Nuff said.- Crappy calls. Yeah pretty blatant, I know.

IronicI hate that a f*cking beast like Shawn Marion can do all he does and even finish 4th in DPOY voting and yet still not get on a defensive team.

I hate the fact he settles for jumpers to much when he can jump get to the rim on every play. Some people tell me that this isn't a video game and he can't always drive to the rim and all of that stuff. But he really can, Ugh it just kills me.
The worst thing about the NBA, like all US sports, it re-location of teams.I love Stern, he really has taken the NBA to the next level. It's one of the most followed leagues in the World, and Basketball in the US' greatest sporting export.

You must be kidding, he has allowed the league to latch onto it's hip-hop image over the years. The dress code thing is one you will find in other sports, and after the initial out-cry from a few players everyone seems fine with it now. He has set down a few rules, some are tough and some not so bad, but he has witnessed basketball become the only truly global team game apart from football (soccer).
