The NBA is honestly stupid at this point and i'm not an anti NBA person. I watched the NBA heavily from late 80's until around 2014. I mainly gave up about ten years ago or so, i watched about 2 NBA final series since then but no regular season games.

This is why 1. No rivalries what so ever, opposite teams players laughing together 10 seconds after game ends even if nba finals

2. no passion when is the last time you saw a guy on a replay crash into the media sideline or crowd......hardly ever even in playoffs.

3. no creative schemes, very few creative players outside of the superstars no notable niche players like old days

4. most teams are like pick up games no real bonds, no coaching, timeouts are people just standing looking the other way

5. overpaid salaries for the average player, players have learned to throw fit if they want out of a team......how professional of them......

6. boring, players fake injuries to rest themselves for a future that never really matearilizes for most.......delusional....always claiming they are "thinking about there future" when trying to excuse sitting out or not gutting out mid injuries......no sense of team....no real will to win......never best version of themselves..........bland repetitive cliches "building my brand".........delusion......average players think they are mega celebs and "world is watching" when in reality most unaware who they are.

7. did i mention boring? and cringy espn over hype......terrible anouncers....terrible post and pre game host.....lame dying product
