I don't enjoy it as much as I used to but I still think there are some great players out there. I really enjoy watching Steve Nash. You used to be able to learn the game by watching these guys but that went out the window when ESPN started only showing dunks and nothing more. I learned to play by watching Bird and McHale when I was a teenager and I think it's really tragic that we see guys given superstar status just for being able to make a 15 footer(Rip Hamilton). I always don't agree with the special treatment these so called superstars get. No foul, he's been in the league 10 yrs or that's a foul on the rookie. A foul is a foul and a travel is a travel. That's also one of the main reasons the NBA players struggle so much in international competition. The majority of these guys only care about stats and nothing more. Anybody can 20 when you shoot the ball 30 times.
