69 sats \ 2 replies \ @crrdlx 25 Dec \ on: The NBA is letting offenses do whatever they want Stacker_Sports

I think you're missing the point. The NBA is not basketball, like college hoops, it is basketball entertainment. It is the WWE, for basketball. That's all there is to it.

I agree with that, broadly, but that doesn't explain this.

Fans don't like seeing tons of defensive fouls, we know that from how popular the brief reform was a couple of seasons ago. I also doubt that fans enjoy the ridiculous leniency on traveling.

It's all offense and points. Fans want to see their favorite player jam the ball and score 30 ppg. Traveling in the NBA is not a thing, it is just a way to move to the basket and get more points.

I have to say, I'm always amazed that anyone actually watches the NBA. I don’t. At least the WWE embraces the while thing and is funny, hilarious at times. I'll pause and watch it for that reason.
