you can't deny its not true
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.

LUconn wrote: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.flamesbball84 wrote:Zone defense is legal in the NBA.
