If we're going to play with numbers, total attendance for the NBA in 2016 was 21.9 million, vs 17.6 million for the 2015 NFL season.
Dude has been posting nonsense all dayWhat the hell is going on here?
There are only a few teams that contend each year yes, but it's because the nature of the sport. Unlike other sports, one guy can truly carry a team. Individual ability matters much more in basketball just based on the point of the sport. And the top guys are just that good. And... Home court matters much more in basketball.
Can you imagine what James harden or Anthony Davis would be doing right now in a college game?
My point is... Forget eligibility. I mean just put one of these guys into a college game right now. The domination would be just ridiculous.Probably not a whole lot, since they both would've exhausted their eligibility.
(Davis was a surprise to me, TBH. Time flies.)
Serious question- what would Westbrook average in a college game?
This is not true. Syracuse fans tend to be fans of the Knicks. If you are basing your idea of what the NBA is on the Knicks, I can see why someone would think the NBA isn't that great a thing.
And Westbrook is a perfect rebuttal to the person who said the NBA is lacking in skill development. Russell Westbrook averaged 13 points, 4 assists, and 4 rebounds per game as a sophomore in college.

So then, he'd be a poor man's Pistol Pete Maravich?Triple Double the entire season easily.
Probably about 30-35 points per game, 15 rebounds, 12 assists. Probably nearly 5 steals and a couple blocks a game too.
If you stuck him on the current Syracuse team we'd be automatically the team to beat for the title, and likely would run the table the rest of the way.
That's not true at all. They have adjusted the rules to make it more entertaining but guys still can't shoot, pass, box out, or play defense. The Warriors and Cavs would never get a title against the Magic Lakers, Bird's Celts, or MJ's Bulls. The Euros are among the only fundamentally sound players in the league. Yes, I know there are exceptions, but that's what they are: exceptions. The league is bigger, faster, and flashier but if you consider fundamentals a part of level of play...it is not at a higher level.Obviously you're entitled to your opinion, but the NBA is not a joke. The level of play right now is unbelievably high -- probably the best it's ever been.

Yeah, that one makes no sense to me at all. You rarely see offensive rebounds since so many shots go down. It's almost boring.Guys can't shoot? I'd say there's a higher percentage of guys in the league right now that can shoot than ever before.

Those Laker and Celtic teams would be absolutely overwhelmed by the amount of offense this Warrior team can generate. They simply don't have enough three point shooters to compete.
The 1985 Laker team attempted a total of 295 threes the entire season. Steph Curry by himself made 402 threes last year.
