    I work at a bar in Vegas and it’s almost impossible during the NFL or NHL season to find anyone who cares about the NBA. They wont play the games at work unless theres no NFL or NHL. Basketballs always been my favorite but I learned early on people, especially white people, dont watch the NBA. I’m 40 now and its so much harder to watch nowadays. It’s just constant 3 pointers. I saw a sat the other night Boston put up 50 threes in ONE GAME?
    This makes me completely understand why people dont want to watch the NBA and honestly after watching the WNBA last season, I felt they played a much more organic, fundamental type of basketball. The NBA feels…like teams found a meta and exploited it. There’s no passion. Everyones friends. The WNBA got women beating the crap out of each other and the dudes are getting dinner together…kind of sad

      Hell I never understood why the new gen was so against adjusting the defensive rules more to what it was before. I mean, the players today are just so much more skilled right so what could be the issue young people have with it? It literally would make sense to balance it out, but for some reason, they disagree.
      I think they deep down know that we're arent just talking ish on a new gen. They're protecting the claims they made about 'their gen just being way better', when this generation of basketbal is the easiest it's ever been for offensive players, whereas if players were better, we wouldve seen the same exponential rise in better defense stats balancing offensive stats out out a lot more.
      In reality, defensive stats are dropping across the board for about a decade now. Is that because this gen can't defend? Hell no they might even be the most talented defenders ever.
      It's simply not going to show itself statistically or mentally in a game that heavily limits defense and none of us ever, are going to see how truly good players are on O and D of one side gets benefits and the other side limits.

    Historically more offense means more eyeballs across all sports. I'm not convinced its the increased scoring that is hurting the NBA. I think the "player empowerment" era has been a disaster. Players can sit and pout and demand trades, abandoning their team and the fans, and they get rewarded with 200 million plus dollar contracts. Load management has only further exposed how little the regular season means to the "competitors" of today. If it's obvious how little the players and teams care about the competition, why should the fans care? They shouldn't. The modern iteration of the All-Star game is a perfect microcosm of todays competitive environment. Back in the day there was pride on the line. Not only did the players want to win, they wanted bragging rights over their peers. They players simply put had competitive pride. Now? Not so much. Now it's about creating your brand and getting your paper. Generationally wealthy players don't give a shit and all the corporate wankers in the expensive seats are just looking for hits on their Instagram accounts. Make player salaries dependent on team wins and games played and sell the first 30 rows in every arena to die hard working class fans and the product will turn around in a flash.
    TL; DR - it's not about offense, it's about competitive spirit. It's not a coincidence that the poster child of this era is LeBron, the most fake competitor among the all-timers. LeBron has skills and athleticism for days, but he's all about being a billionaire entrepreneur not about being a dawg. Shout out for his hometown philanthropy but I'm glad he never played for my team.

Barely any superstar now plays 81 games when before players would miss like 3-5 games at most and many would play the entire season. These millionaires with crazy paychecks sitting out sends the wrong image of entitlement. Also, if you tie a players salary to team wins and how many days he's available on the court to play you would fix this problem immediately. That would give real incentive for players to compete and deter Ben Simmons type of situations where players just coast because they have over $100M guaranteed in the bank

    I used to watch Kobe, Iverson and Jordan. Today's bball is comical. Divas to the utmost. From their gameplay to their pregame attire. I think accessibility has a role in my perception of bball, football and celebrities in general. Jordan, Kobe and Iverson had a mystique about themselves. Today, its all in the open. A curse and blessing.

      Social media has obviously made the players (and other celebrities) more available (I guess that's the right word) to the public. One effect of this I've noticed is how often people refer to famous people by their first names nowadays. It's kind of weirds me out because it assumes a level of familiarity that doesn't actually exist.

      I'd argue that the 80s and early 90s was the best. Teams still played tough defense but there was also a fair bit of offense. The Bad Boys Pistons are remembered as a defensive team but they could fill it up much better than people remember. By the mid-90s you had teams playing tough physical defense like the Bad Boys but without the offensive skill to go with it.

That means no foul, when driving player bumps into the defender to create space, no foul when a defender jumps on a fake and the offensive player jumps afterwards and so on. No more stupid rip through moves or jumping into people in the restricted area.
    Its already in the rule book, defender is entitled to his own space - they just need to enforce it.

That argument is the worst defense of the modern nba, that everything gets better over time, when that is empirically untrue. Life is never that linear, so why would the nba be an exception? It’s just a way to denounce the past while promoting the present/future. And it’s the laziest way to cape up for this terrible version of basketball we have now. So glad somebody finally said it.

    Defense has to be incentivized
    1. One point for each steal and/or block; being able to score on defense will make each possession more intense
    2. If a team is down by 20 entering the 4th quarter , 4minutes gets shaved off the clock, making the quarter only 8mins.. reward the team winning, and light a fire under the team losing
    3. (Nick Wrights / Colin’s idea) make dunks worth 3 points all game, and cap the amount of threes per team per game at around 15 total.
    4. Give the 5 starters on both teams of every game 8 fouls allowed to commit before ejected , and give bench players only 4 each.. keep the stars on the court
    5. Shorten the length of each quarter from 12 to 10mins.. shorter games, more energy and effort given

    One thing I would do is have the change the 3 point line rules. Right now anyone can take a three point shot during any time of the game. Instead, have only 25 minutes during the game where a 3 point shot can be made. Put LED lights on the floor and around the back board. When the lights are one, a three point shot can be made. When the lights are off, there is no three point shoot. Have the on a random timer. So 4 minutes its on, six minutes its off so its hard to predict when it is on. It will force teams when the lights are off to play closer to the basket. It will make the game better to watch.

    The NBA's shift towards more homogenized, "position-less" basketball makes it challenging for the league to cultivate the next generation of star players that fans can connect with. Nowadays, most players adhere to a similar style - athletic players, big men, and point guards all primarily shoot three-pointers. This is a stark contrast to prior generations when there was more diversity in player skillsets, from slashers to low/high post players to mid-range specialists to 3 point specialists to defensive specialists to ball handlers and facilitators.
