I think that we all know that there is an entertainment factor at work in the NBA. And the NBA is not my favorite level of play - I think the college game has a much better flow and I enjoy the team play. But this is a ludicrous comparison. Pro ball is still the same basic game as HS and college - pro wrstling is not at all related to its namesakes. NBA ball is played by the best players on this planet. Every night you see some things that can't be done by anybody at any other level of the game.

Sure, it is actually slower and choppier at times, even with the 24 sec. clock. But NBA is a players game, and those guys can flat out play.
