Indeed.

A shiny new nickel to the first person who can tell me the last time travelling was called in the NBA.

1998? 1993?

Every NBA game I have watched. And I do not watch them very often as I am a fan of college and high school more than the NBA. I see that called all the time. What needs to be asked is when was the last time an umpire at the pro or college level enforced the time limit on pitching or being ready to hit the ball in the time limit that is already on the books? That is a better question.

MLB could change this problem tomorrow if they enforced rules and supported their umpires when those rules are enforced.

Peace

Poppycock. The NBA has become, as the person above stated, a joke.

But back to topic. MLB needs to work on the time issues.

It is clear you do not watch much basketball, so it really is not my concern if you believe it or not. Just know that it is called all the time if you watch games, instead of listen to media people that would not know a travel if it slapped them in the face at any level.

And yes they need to work on their time issue and the reason they lose a lot of people to other sports. Games should not take 4 hours unless there are 20 runs a game between the two teams.

Peace
