It seems the purity of the NBA left when Detroit's Bad Boys play affected the way the game was played in the past.

That and the special treatment given to Michael Jordon. PR took the place of real fairness in the game giving some teams an unfair advantage.

I would like to hear the opinions of you basketball junkies on my points, even if you disagree. Any added opinions are fine too.
I think you are buying into media hype.

Except for the 48 minutes of play, I agree with you. During the regular season, too many players/teams mail it in. Particularly in the late season where you see teams tanking on purpose to increase their draft odds. How is that sport?
