I can see the ball if the majority of the players don't like it.

The other? That's one of the reasons I gave up watching the NBA also. That is about as far as you can get from having a new rule. They stopped enforcing the old rule, which is the same rule as now, about 10-15 years ago. As a result, the players now spend more time whining, moaning and b!tching than they do playing ball.

Typical NBA play? I was switching channels about a week ago and stopped to watch a few minutes of the Knick's game. The Knicks were down 24 in the third quarter. Eddy Curry had a rebound come right to him with no one near. He went back back up and dunked the ball...which really isn't a big deal, seeing he's 7 feet tall...and then he stood there, roaring and screaming and pounding his chest. As an announcer pointed out, at that time he now had 4 freaking points and two freaking rebounds. Meanwhile, the other team was merrily running down the other end, playing 5 on 4. I just shook my head, said Same sh!t, different day" and turned the channel.

Give me a call when the NBA All-Stars can beat Argentina again.

Talking

The difference is if you make $30,000 maybe you can go to the bank and scrape up $1,000. If you make 9 mil you don't have to go to the bank you can just take it out of your pocket.

"You never want to feel that the NBA's a dictatorship," Wizards veteran Antonio Daniels said.


Huh? It's an employee/employer relationship. If they don't like it, they're free to quit. I'd be glad to watch the "next tier down", folks who play because they love basketball and not because they think they're God's gift to the free world.
