"The NBA has evolved, and the objective truths of efficency cannot be denied."

Has Goff for two segments and I am not sure Conor said a single word. Bernsie could barely get a word in edgewise. Jason can talk and he had a bunch of stories.

Was one of the stories about how he had Kobe to the Bulls as imminent ?

good Morrissey song title, Senor

I don't watch the NBA enough these days to know if it's more entertaining than it was when guys wanted to play like prime Jordan, regardless of how efficient it may have been. I do know Kobe (and Jordan) were fun as hell to watch. Certainly more fun than watching guys just rain threes in from forty feet, never mind their effectiveness/high percentage. You guys tell me. Was the game more fun to watch when Kobe was the best player in the game than it is now?

But I can speak to what has happened to baseball and how computer analysis has changed the game, and not for the better. The powers that be better figure out a way to make winning strategy line up with entertainment. Because a shithead like bernstein doesn't seem to understand that sports are entertainment. And most of us aren't entertained by a bunch of Ivy Leaguers figuring out ways to make the games boring as hell in the name of efficiency.

Your first and third sentences completely contradict each other. Kinda funny.

Talkin a lot, yet saying very little

Are you confirming that today's NBA is just a bunch of guys raining threes from 40 feet?

Ok pal.

I don’t give enough of a fuck to say much other than your multi paragraph post was a bunch of rambling.

You gave enough of a fuck to make a snotty and incorrect comment in the first place. And now you're butthurt because I showed you that nothing in my post was contradictory. All you had to do was say that today's NBA is as excitng as ever and I would have accepted your opinion. Instead you wanted to be a dick. Well, I can be the biggest dick on the board if that's the route you want to go.

Hold My Beer!

On the other hand, I think the NFL and NHL are better products today. The penalties are a bit much in the NFL, but the game is a lot of fun to watch. And hockey flows the best of all the sports with very little in the way of interruptions and the removal of interference and clutching of offensive players.

is he talking about kobe's midrange game? there's plenty of chuckers left in the nba. if so, that's a pretty dumb take on a man, his daughter and 7 other people dying in a horrific helicopter crash
