Actually it's only been like 5 years. But more importantly the defensive 3 second rule basically takes care of it.

2ndly, they don't watch it because it's not entertaining. People don't sit there and think, "you know there aren't nearly as many white people as I'd like so although this is pretty fun to watch, I'll pass." The way the game is played in the NBA is just not entertaining. People may say that it's because the players are all so huge but it's the same size court. Some may say they don't play defense. Close. It's because zone D is illegal. That may sounds stupid but it's a completely different game without it, and it results in a lot of "isolation" plays which get boring real fast.
no they don't watch it because they are racist

Yeah, there sure aren't many WHITE people in the stands at those NBA games. No actually, mostly all of them are white...:roll:

The NBA game sucks. They take some of the best athletes in the world and put them in a game in which most of them just stand around for 2/3 of the game. If there weren't a shot clock, I don't know that some of them would ever even move. And it goes on for 7 months. It's the equivalent of taking NFL players and having play an endless series of flag-football games. For 7 months.

defensive 3 seconds is so easy to overcome..it just takes one step outside the lane to negate it. if players are "players are all so huge" they should have no problem with this.

(looks like I solved that 'dead board' problem...)

And seriously -- I don't notice anyone defending soccer on here. Just a bunch of faeries prancing around, if you ask me.

(yes! yes! everything that has transpired has done so according to my design! strike me down with all your hatred and complete your path to the Dark Side!)
