And I'm sureashell not the only one that shares that view.

I'm not a hater either. I just think that NBA officiating today is entertainment driven. I used to love watching NBA games. Now? Bleh! Sports entertainment like And 1.

We are all quite impressed how you KNOW so much about the NBA. I'm sure that Jeff VanGundy and Mark Jackson have taught you well via TNT, because they fancy themselves as quite the rule experts. Now, this play was posted to inspire a discussion as the whether this was a travel or not, it was not an opportunity for you to regale us with your personal opinions of how you feel the NBA is officiated. If you do not like or disagree with the league and its rules, then please, do not watch, I promise noone will care. Further, some on this board enjoy discussing plays and learning from others with varying levels of experience and leagues. Nothing is gained from you interjecting your ill feelings toward the NBA. If you do not wish to partake in watching or learning from things that happen in the NBA, then kindly refrain from taking part in them and wait until a topic comes along which piques your interest.

Warmest Regards,
Me

I agree, I am getting a little tired of the same people always having something to say about the NBA when the conversation is not about the overall philosophy of the NBA, but a play in question. I can show literally a hundred plays at the NCAA and even more at the NF level of travels that show up on tape that are not called or could be called into question. But for some reason the NBA get criticized and I have some reasons why, but that is another conversation for another day.

Peace

Some day soon? Inquiring minds want to know!
I have begun to draw conclusions as to "why" but facts would be better

Facts are always going to be in dispute on discussions like this. Even if I say what I "think," someone will say I am wrong. As I said, I am waiting for the right time and right discussion. We have not reached that time yet.

Funny, I do not hear these same comments about the other leagues at the professional level.

Peace

FAR more traveling plays are called incorrectly at the NFHS and NCAA levels than at the NBA level.

Unfortunately, it seems as though some people will ALWAYS hold the same incorrect opinion no matter how many facts are presented that would prove the contrary (and I'm not even talking politics here...)

Piss off. I'll post whenever and whatever I want without regard for azzholes like you. When you become a damn moderator, maybe then you can make up the damn rules here.
Screw You,
