The word to be used is "clearly", not "obviously". Moran.
obviously.
(BTW, thanks for chiming in on this hugely important issue)

I disapprove of your ****ing retardedness.
I'd support abolishment of the "MJ" rule. I hate it when the so-called superstars of the league get special treatment, especially in the last 6 minutes of the 4th quarter. And how about a return to the good old days when you could actually touch a player without getting a ticky-tack foul called? I'm not saying go back to the thuggery of the old Pistons, but just some good hard basketball. BBall IS a contact sport. Players should be able to compete a bit, not have play stopped because someone is barely touched on a weak drive to the hoop. Of course, if the league did that, AK would need to immediately retire. I guess what drives me the craziest is just the inconsistency of the calls. On one play, you'll see an "And1" or 2-shot foul called on the slightest of contact. A few plays laters someone will get kncoked to the floor and no foul is called. WTF!?
This! The weak *** calls and superstar treatment in the NBA is a freakin joke. Call the game the same no matter who has the damn ball. Also it's not a foul just because some dumb *** player breaks his neck trying to draw a freakin foul. A lot of the players in the NBA are trying to turn it into the WWE.
... widening the court, and then extending the three-point line?
I'm growing pretty tired of offensive schemes that are structured around:
1. driving to the basket for a bucket and/or foul (it's too easy to get the latter)
2. shooting the 3-pnt shot in volume
I was talking about this the other day with someone in the context of a broader discussion about the evolution of the NBA game versus the NFL game during our lifetime. We both agreed that the development of the NFL's product has kicked the *** of the NBA's.
THOUGHTS?
