Why anyone would spend one second or one dollar on this crap called the NBA is beyond me.
There is flat out no basketball being played in the NBA, and I do not see what is entertaining about watching something where way too many of the participants are scum.
Maybe I get a little more sick of this that the average person because I see this type of behavior displayed almost on a daily basis.
No ability to control yourself...
All that matters is that you look tough and don't let anyone disrespect you...
You would have to look far and wide to find any role model in this league...
And don't even bring up the 1% that are good, because you can then list 100 that have been arrested over and over again...
And the NFL is slowly getting the same way...
Once the people who have and spend the money in this country see NFL players as they do NBA players, you will see the popularity and rating drop.
Did you know that on Sundays golf sometimes, and NASCAR just about always beats up on the NBA in the ratings...
Its because the average person understands what it is...

Maybe the WWE can have a NBA BATTLE ROYAL at an upcoming pay-per-view.The pros are nothing more
than another type of sports entertainment anyway.
I dont see how NFL is even in the same league as the NBA for jags, but I do agree that NBA is worthless. Second would be all the over paid jags in MLB. NFL players earn their money and its the same ones who always are in trouble. Is there a 3 strikes rule in NBA or MLB? Maybe once they institute a comprehensive drug and alcohol program they might be as good as the NFL.
Well, the brawl means more losses for the Knicks this year, which means a higher #1 pick for DaBulls next season.
So I guess I approve...
I do not think the NBA and NFL are equal...I just said they are slowly going down the same path
Sports in general are comprised of several hundred kids. What do you expect having kids making millions without benefit of understanding the real world? However, I believe that there's far more than 1% that stay away from such behavior. The NBA has had a rash of such nonsense in the last couple of years, but brawls in MLB are far more commonplace. In the NHL, it's widely considered by most of it's fans as part of the game. I've never been able to get any hockey fan to show me where this is stated in the rules of the game, but that's what they say. But bad behavior in sports is nothing new. I won't even go to where debates about which sport is worse reside. It plainly doesn't matter. But it's everywhere to one degree or other. Remember Jimmy Connor? And there's that other tennis weasel who recently had a talk show on MSNBC right after Dennis Miller. And we've seen bad behavior in amateur sports with doping of every kind in sports from track to power lifting. You see it in college sports with some schools, like Florida, becoming a punch line for jokes about bad behavior. And in kids leagues, you have parents going at it providing the young with just the right kind of role models. What is this all from? My answer is that it is a symptom of moral relativity and a society with no stomach for punishment of such behavior if it means their team will lose. It's cheap, pathetic lack of will toward doing what's right and preaching it as well. Because who is one to tell another how to live? This thinking has led to nasty behavior of all sorts becoming mainstream and extreme.
Good point marshall. Kids no longer receive moral instruction. Instead, we teach them to be completely openminded and to explore themselves in all ways.
Then we act shocked when students care for nothing outside of themselves. We also act shocked when students are openminded towards cheating, ignorance, drug abuse, recreational sex and so forth.
