The funniest thing about it is SAS’s hero MJ is single-handedly responsible for the NBA removing physicality. Last time I checked that sissy cried to the commissioner in 91′ about adding flagrant fouls.

Definitely way too many 3s. Too many players complaining about fouls and still too much flopping. The coach should only be allowed to complain about foul calls and players should get a tech if they complain too much.

More physicality wouldnt hurt but the real issue is the lack of star power. Now that Lebron, Curry durant etc getting old, whos going to take the mantle

Adam Silver ruined the NBA on top of every team trying to shoot a million 3s 💯 You got Wemby jacking up 3s more than a PG. load management, positionless ball, pace & space etc All that shyt is changing the game of basketball. Bs play in tournaments, changed up the all star format smh All that shyt ruining the game.

i think we’ve come to the point where old fans will have to come to terms that the game has changed, and the new NBA panders to the young kids and what they like to watch.
The game I loved for a time is different now. There’s some flashes that give me hope, but very far and few. I won’t say the current product is inferior, thats subjective, but its not what some older fans like.
Who knows maybe people do love the 70+ 3pt attempts per game. I don’t, but who knows.

It’s almost like people don’t want to watch radical communists high five each other while they complain about getting paid $50 million.

I don’t think Silver understands his product. He should be FIFA commish.

Adam Silver isn’t a fan of the NBA. He doesn’t understand his product and what made it great. He should have been FIFA commish or something. The league right now is abysmal, and he doesn’t seem to have any core idea what needs to happen. He’s just throwing new format ideas against the wall one after another like some M. Night Shamalyan movie plot twist will save him.

The fact that everyone knows the playoffs are called different is ridiculous. I want that type of officiating all year not just the playoffs.

He’s happy with the fact that the biggest franchise in the league just got the new face of the league. He’s happy because it’s what they’ve wanted for a m while

Shannon is absolutely right! It’s either threes or dunks and that’s why I don’t watch NBA like I used to anymore. Perk once again has no idea what he’s talking about.

Take away the Petty tech fouls. Hanging on Rim, the Stare downs, let it ride, let the players play with some contacts. The way the officials call the game is the biggest problem
