College Bball is in a steep decline

The NBA sucks along with a lot of the so called "stars" and haven't watched in about 5 years and do not miss it.

Have never really watched the NBA at least the regular season. Lately I've watched the Knicks because I like watching Jalen Brunson.

I feel like we would all be pretty much OK with the state of college basketball if we were actually good.

You’d feel “OK” in the moment but still yearning for a real emotional connection… wondering whether you’ll ever truly find it again. Kind of like a night at paradise found when it’s on someone else’s dime.

I think a good solution would actually be to make the rim smaller and/or oval. A little bit like those scams at the fair but not that bad.

A lot of what was so interesting about basketball was the fight to get inside and up. Fast breaks and drives and alley oops and blocked shots.

These days, training and whatnot has gotten so good there's no shortage of folks that can shoot. And analytics saying even if you have a good drive, now the defense is collapsed and you should kick it back out and take a shot. So a lot of games don't end up athletic fights as much as they do a prolonged series of coin tosses.

Our best 3 point shooter went 5 games without hitting one this year.

I think all jump shots should just go back to being worth two. Eliminate the 3. I'd maybe put a line closer to half court that is worth 4.
