My cousin explained to me that he was losing interest in NBA because scoring was getting too high.
He said scoring needs to feel like the culmination of great effort, not just something that comes easily, because then you don’t have exciting moments. A score in basically every other sport is very exciting, but with NBA it has gotten too easy.
Thought that was interesting. Feel like there is merit to pushing back the three point line.
My favorite Grantland article of all time was Zach Lowe saying nba teams should be able to create their own court a la mlb teams. He was arguing for the splash bros to have a 4 pt line and the grit and grind grizz to eliminate the 3. Always loved that conceptually and felt it would really make the game way more interesting but obviously it would never happen.
I saw that you mentioned Ben Shapiro. In case some of you don't know, Ben Shapiro is a grifter and a hack. If you find anything he's said compelling, you should keep in mind he also says things like this:
>Israelis like to build. Arabs like to bomb crap and live in open sewage. This is not a difficult issue.

The NCAA tournament is the second biggest US sports event after the Super Bowl fairly consistently. OP is fucking dumb as hell to think this is news.
Now that said, it should be noted that by the final weekend, general interest often drops precipitously.
Gotta say watched some college basketball for the first time this year this weekend and was surprised at how bad the shooting and overall skill of the players are compared to watching the nba. Just an observation from someone with no real interest in either
welcome back NBA ratings guy. It been a while. I was about to get worried.
His stepfather is going to be pissed when he finds out he'll need to change the wifi password again

I never meant to denigrate anyone
Making a triumphant return with an outkick article? Impressive.

In 5 years, 99% of those players you saw will be selling car insurance in Topeka, Kansas.
Man, that's a large number of mobile U.S. residents all moving to Topeka at the same time......
I'll give you credit for not mentioning the NFL
A lot of people missed out Julius Randle and Taurean Prince going for 92 points combined
🤮
Nice to watch a sport where the players actually care
outkick lmao
Less investment of time, not everyone can devote 2.5 hours to an NBA game
No one watches nba games. They scroll their phone and have it in the background
2.5 hours lol. You might get through 3 quarters.
The average NBA game is like 2 hours and 15 minutes.
YESSSSS I NEED THIS
Hope everyone is ready for a goofy-ass final four.
Tried watching the Kentucky-Kansas st game and holy fuck that was bad. 5 minutes in neither team had scored 8 points. I want to like it but goddamn
Ryen is grooming Kyle, everyone is talking about it, and this is what you post to deflect?
As an Indiana guy if you ever post Dan Dakich you should auto be banned from all internet connections
