- Rasheed Wallace says the NBA is struggling with viewership and it needs to create storylines like the WWE, so now refs are getting involved and ejecting stars to create headlines. Players like Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo have been ejected quickly in recent games.

He's right. The NBA today is literally NBA jam with pick and roll
Has he not seen how rigged the nfl is too!?
Its AAU 2.0 with WWE level of entertainment
Perfect descriptor
hahhahha his is true lmfao
All of these sporting events are staged. And the storylines have been written by the tell-lie-vision networks who pay the “owners” billions for the “athletes” to adhere to.
Rasheed is spot on here. The traveling is especially disgusting.
I don't watch games any where near as much as I did from the 90's and up until about when Kobe left. The game today is disappointing. You see people stand back on defense. It's absolutely shameful.
Yeah you used to see traveling calls all the time now you rarely see it.
Same here its wack
I feel the same. I only watch Giannis, Jokic, of Luka highlights
Bro imagine playing in the park back in the day and doing some James Harden or Ja Morant hand under the ball 😂. We would have had mad fights. 😊
@@lil_bear💯💯💯🤦♂️ I say that all the times
Rasheed was 100% right on every point he made. Especially the comment about traveling.
Except the part about Double Dribble being on N64...

My biggest gripe with the NBA is that the offense gets to break the rules almost every possession. You can run through and over the defense and 90% of the time the foul will get called on the defenders.
Bingo!!!
Nah. /
@@djjack9992Nah. /
Unless you're the Toronto Raptors playing against the LA Lakers.
He’s right teams average 130 PPG vs 95 PPG 15-20 years ago it’s kind of a bad product now watered down
The score was low in the 90s and 00s because the pace was incredibly slow. Please check the scores in the 80s, Denver averaged 120 ppg with hand checking in place and barely any threes.
@@maartenvz OH please you can't even play defense anymore and ref's deciding games with their weak foul calls
NOPE..ITS BETTER OFFENSIVE TALENT BECAUSE OF THE RULES CHANGE TO MAKE IT A EUROPE LEAGUE AND 3 POINT SHOOTING..EVERY TEAM LOOKS THE SAME
@@HakeemTheDream616Or you’ve just been proven wrong. People talk of the 80s as a golden era when teams were scoring 120+ a night. Steve Kerr himself said if you actually watch the Lakers Celtics finals of the time no one was playing defence. This is just more hate from people. Defence is played less now because the skill set is too good. Good offence beats good defence, and everyone on the floor can now shoot, making it near impossible to play sound defence.
@@hardwoodthought1213 This era is disrespectful to the NBA greats of the past
Same with the nfl it’s unwatchable, i literally seen 40 flags thrown within 2 football games
Preeeeeeeeach!
Trying to manipulate the outcome.
Sports at large is on the decline and the NBA is on the forefront of that decline.
@@TheBamaPrinceable People are tired of funding these so called entertainers extravagant lifestyles while having their bank accounts and emotions drained to death!

The travel call he’s 💯 right on. It’s gotten ridiculous in the last 10 years…
they stopped calling travel since lebron could never take just 2 steps after the dribble lol, and he's the "face" of the league
@@jayzee316naw harden was the one who really changed it
@@harrissr.615
Harden was a new model based on the lebron blueprint
@@harrissr.615nope, way before harden, lebron was 3-4 stepping his dunks and layups when he entered the league, dude has no fundamentals, no post moves, all he does is pick and roll and sprint to the basket, he's a streaky shooter and if you removed layups/dunks from his %, his shooting % would be horrible.
Lebron stay traveling
Thank you Rasheed, todays NBA is unwatchable, I miss real basketball
Make basketball Great Again
Unexpected wrestling references are the best.
I been saying this for years foh
As a pacers fan there is no person on earth I hated more than Rasheed when he played on the pistons. With that said, and I can’t believe I’m saying this but Rasheed Wallace has good points. The game is nearly unwatchable. It’s like a never ending 3 point contest. It’s so boring and this is coming from a freaking Reggie miller fanatic!!!!
Nobody gets their threes like Reggie Miller did it. You never see a guy curling off screens down low to pop out to the arch, receive the ball and pop like that. Now it's all just iso or face up
That's precisely the point. THAT was Reggie's game. He was a shooter. A pure sniper. Those Pacers teams were built around that giving them a unique identity. The Stockton Malone Jazz. Pick and roll inside out. MJ and Pippen with the triangle. All in all, the NBA is forcing a product instead of letting teams PLAY BASKETBALL and coaches COACH. They're are so worried about ratings. Let the game be played and stop trying create crap through bad/missed calls and weird suspensions.
When I watched Reggie score like ten points in like 6 seconds to end the half or game. Whatever that was. That was the greatest basketball moment I've ever experienced live. Steal/3, steal/3, steal/3!
@pasigiri they painted themselves into a corner by basing salaries on the "good times" all while watching ratings go down the toilet. Every team has a 6th, 7th, 8th man in the rotation who has a $20 million contract for the season, it doesn't seem like it's built to last.
@@BoondockGoremine was when he hit that game winner over Mj
Remember the NBA on NBC intro? They always had a short story on each team and players. They also had the history between the two teams right before the classic theme would hit
I MISS THOSE YEARS!
Classic days 💯
Facts! League so soft now.
Yeah I miss that
Yeah I miss that
The no travel calls is also killing the game ! Like Sheed said , how are you able to do a euro step once you step through you shouldn’t be able to drag you back foot . That crazy ! In 10 years that step back will be called the Harden step back
In 10 years the great reset will be set in and we will live like cattle animals.
Sheed is right that the NBA is creating a storyline, and making certain players into “heels” like in WWE wrestling. Yeah, the refs need to call out star players for traveling.
Companies, politicians have learned that narratives are very lucrative. Telling people what they want to hear and or orchestrating storylines is making millions for a lot of people. People think the Jake Paul fights are real. People think Trump or any politician cares about what they say, people think the Taylor Swift NFL wasn't a plan. The NBA has tried it with LeBron and it's worked
@@nalokitten NBA and the sports media has created storylines before Lebron was even born. The NBA promoted the rivalry between the Celtics and the Lakers during the 80’s. David Stern promoted Michael Jordan when he was playing in the NBA.
@@NewKasuto promoting players and rivalries is very different from creating narratives and embellishments on player achievements. Btw, Luka is on pace to pass LeBron in every statistical category and he'll do it faster. Does that make Luka the GOA?
@@nalokitten I followed the the Portland Trail Blazers since the mid 90s even before Sheed got traded there. During the late 90s, there was this narrative that Portland was the “Jail Blazers” even though nobody from the whole team for multiple years didn’t go to jail at all. For most of Sheed’s time in Portland, there were multiple news stories complaining about different players from JR Rider, Damon Stoudamire, Rasheed Wallace, Qyntel Woods and etc having run ends with the law. When Damon Stoudamire’s yellow Hummer got pulled over for speeding coming back from Seattle. Neither Damon or Rasheed were driving the vehicle and it made national news, since the police officer smelled marijuana then two of them had to go to court over the whole situation. If two white regular guys had been pulled over for a similar thing I really doubt it would be national news. Sheed was definitely labeled as a “heel” during his time in Portland.
@@nalokitten So when Mike bitched about Detroit being out to hurt him and the league gave him flagrant fouls on top of 12fta per game? That wasn't tampering? Btw all those hard fpuls on the air by those dirty bad boys from Detroit and Mike NEVER got injured.
MJ pushes off for a game winner. No call. Bron gets textbook fouled on a game winner. No call.
NBA is very much like the WWE. Pure entertainment. Jokic and Kawhi know this and that's why both of them have a "I can't stand being around media type attitude all the time". They can read between the lines.. just not truly allowed to voice that lest they hurt the NBA image.
Jokic doesn’t have that attitude AT ALL and kawhi is just a totally normal reserved and quiet man who acts like himself all the time,even when they’re many cameras on him. You’re not the psychologist you think you are, just a simple minded guy who repeats narratives he heard…you’re who these old heads target when they say all that shit as if it hasn’t always been the case,including when they played.
@@youngerudit2524 whats your take on jokic attitude then?
Yeah definitely see it
Of course it’s entertainment. We’re watching grown, adult men play a kid’s game. You are being entertained by watching as opposed to playing. And the WWE makes a lottttt of money, fueled by fan interest, tv deals, merch sales, etc. That’s different from the NBA…how? Yes, one is a sport and the other a predetermined contest, but both are watched because they’re entertaining to watch. That’s 99% of why we watch anything.
@@thatboybear the game was created by men not kids
Totally agree today’s NBA is like the game Double Dribble, and almost everyone plays the same way; no nuance at all.
No D, no rebounding and no shot blocking thanks to Curry and the Warriors

Been saying that since the early 2000s. Just played HS but coaches everywhere tried to make all the players the same guy. No style was allowed. Noticed it in baseball too
That is EXACTLY what it is turning into. Perfect analogy Rasheed.

Been saying this for over a decade. We don't have a sport anymore in the NBA.

When the NBA started allowing mass amounts of players to skip college to play in the league that where the quality of the game suffered. Now players play as individuals instead of being apart of a team. Dunk, take it to a basket or shoot threes that’s it and they barely play defense. Rasheed is 💯 % correct 👍🏾
Damn Rasheed, brother you read my mind. The NBA sucks now, it’s unwatchable now. Thank you for being a voice of reason. I been a Rasheed fan since NC and he’s been the same dude. The guys are bigger , stronger, faster (pause) but less skilled. Facts
PLEASE put this on repeat!
R. Wallace speaking truth
Take notes young Hooper's!!!💯❤️🔥
Bro, I’m ah ol head ,I was at the Y a few weeks back running with some younger guys. I was defending this cat who did that side step or three step to the left move almost every play, I’m like “my man ain’t that a travel?” He said NO with a straight face. All them young cats was doing it. Here I am being the ol head hustling on defense and these dudes is all defending the bullshit. You were spot on Sheed. I just scareamed “Yooooo” as you were saying this.
Where they mad you where actually playing defense?
@@nachoco6948 nah, but they were shitting on me lol smh. I played two games and said to myself it ain’t worth it. I’m ah stick to putting up shots and training my family.
Shawn Michaels kicked Jannety and threw him from the window on the Barber Shop set.
Bruh I remember that like yesterday when he became the heartbreak kid
Dang. That was the end of the rockers. Shawn went on as champ, and Marty ending up taging with guys like koko and the repo man
Literally still think about this. I think it all shocked us as kids 😂
Broke my damn heart when that happened. Smh 🤦🏾♂️
Bobby the brain heenan said "janetty tried to jump out the window. What a coward"
He is so right! They completely changed the basketball rules to make it easier to score; they call no traveling, carrying the ball above the waist, no palming the ball; they also changed defense, no more man to man, where if your man cook you for 40, thats all on you, the big man isnt in the lane anymore, they are at the 3 point line; making theses avg NBA players look like they are all stars and they are not.
As soon as he said you pick up your dribble and take 3 steps i bust out laughing cause he is right i swear i hate these new dudes thinking that applies to skill when its cheating and a travel.
Love guys like Sheed speaking the truth! NBA can't fine him now. Need more OG guys calling out the refs and the BS happening in today's game!
What a great interview!
They've always traveled in the NBA but now it's insane. You have players in the paint basically running with the ball like they running backs. I know I watched one player pick up the ball and take 5 steps then layup. 😆
They were called back then 85% of the time. Now it's 10% called now.
Giannis long jumping from the 3pt line to basket and Harden crab walking back to 3pt drive me crazy. 😂
Rasheed hits it on the head: the league has gotten BLATANTLY SCRIPTED with the recent "In-Season Tournament" being an obvious Pro-Wrestling "Push" for LebRoids and the Lakers by gifting them a bracket of mostly weak teams.
In fact, the league has been increasingly unwatchable since the league's rigged refereeing that just so happened to SCREW his Blazers and Webber's Kings to "push" the Lakers to 2 of 3 titles in the Shaq-Kobe era.
they literally popped champagne bottles a month after pre season🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That’s right
Good call. I recall both of those armed robberies vividly. They tried pushing the Knicks past the Pacers for an NY-LA finals but Indiana was way too good for the Knicks. It's been WWE ever since.
Lakers holding the "Intercontinental Belt" or whatever, LeBron will play into his 50s like his bald brother Hulk Hogan. Embarrassing shit.
Epic,@@fredfuckstone914!
Sad thing is that there is a greater than miniscule chance that this may happen...
Thank you sheed for bringing up the travels that don’t get called anymore. Imagine Jordan, Kobe, iverson, carter, tmac, grant, penny can take 3-4 steps and not here a whistle. They ruined the game for the casual viewer who wants to see offense
hear*....yes, you're 100% correct.
@@Gabe-bz1we was watching a game the other day and it’s despicable how players can take 2 steps before dribbling the ball and then be able to dribble
Honestly there’s always been a storyline. The story line was competitive players playing hard, respecting the game, respecting the fans, more physical, and wanted to win. That was the storyline. Playoffs were more intense.
Sheed said back in the day that the series against the cavs in 07 was rigged because the league wanted to promote there new rising star
Just look at how many free throws they shot. Everyone says Lebron carried in that series but he really only had 1-2 good games. He was 3/11 in the clincher I believe
I was there literally they were out to get the pistons
It was lebron didnt even have that great of a series
100%
It's nice to hear him talk about the lack of the rules being enforced and the analytics ruining the great game of basketball!!!
Truth, add 23 free throws for Lakers vs. 2 for Raptors in Q4 last night.
So was it rigged back when Kobe and LA shot waaaay more FTs in the fourth against Portland in Gane 7 of 00, Sacramento in Game 6 of 2002 and Boston in Gams 7 of 2010?
@@hardwoodthought1213 YES, especially the 2002 against Sacramento series

@@Yaguydomoyou're onto something.. do you see the corolation here
Yeah that "in season tournament" made WWE look credible.
ironic this video came out the day before the whole Lakers - Raptors refereeing fix to make sure lakers and Lebron win.
That clapping of the hands filled with powder with the cameras ready to take the "shot" is pure 'look at me' WWE.
Sheed silly double dribble was on the NES but hes right about how we played that game
He's two generations of console off with that reference.
I've been saying this exact thing for a while now, especially after the 'in-season' tournament stuff smh
Yep. Unwatchable for us older folks that saw basketball as a mans game, but the kids love it. No grit, no D, showboating and complaining for everything, flopping, and those travels drive me crazy.
You forgot constant 3's, but yeah, all that stuff you said.
Rasheed is spot on! The NBA is trying to compete against the NFL and the only way to make headlines is to create drama.
Once they got rid of trash talk, rivalries died in the NBA. Now players are too concerned with their endorsements to actually show any character or talk sh#t. The entertainment value of the NBA has plummeted.
I'm glad Rasheed Wallace said that I thought I was the only one who felt that way. WTH is going on with the NBA now lately
Glad a NBA player is talking about the Non-Calls of todays NBA.
Most people born in the 2000's think 4 steps after or before a dribble is not a travel, carrying is a normal dribble and that pushing off is how you supposed to drive to the basketball. And Pivot foot is pre-historic to today's players.
I don't even like coaching kids/teens because they want to do things they see on TV/NBA and I don't know how to teach carry, travel and offensive fouls. I'm sorry, you have to find another coach
When I learned to play basketball, if you moved your pivot foot without driving for the baschet (eurostep) it was called traveling. Also if you dribbled above your chest line it was called carrying... and so on, and so forth.
I hate coaching this generation.
@shinyori - agree with most, but dribbling above your chest line is not a carry, never has been other than in street rules
Don't forget coaching setting illegal screens
Coaches in this generation are spoon feeding these players
what timing! The refs just screwed the Raptors again last night agaist the Lakers!
Anything that generates as much money as the nba is not going to be left to chance. That's why I don't take sports too seriously. It's all bs. Reality TV. The refs make the games go however the nba wants them to go.
Kobe said it when he retired that the NBA is a rec league now. It’s really not organized anymore it’s whoever gets the ball shoots the ball.
I remember when the NBA implemented no hand-checkin', then you couldn't touch a player at all; especially the superstars. Then the NBA/media painted a narrative where they claimed the fans didn't wanna see all that defense/physical play because it took away from the offense & excitement of a high scorin', razzle dazzle filled, rim rockin', 3pt-a-thon. Now the NBA is on some And 1 sh*t after they tried to act like And 1 was ninjaball even though the NBA was always full of ninjas.
It’s just as much fault of the Players association as it is the leagues and media’s. They have spent the last few decades bargaining for fewer practices that were less physically demanding, and no doubt pushed for these rules in live games as well. The truth is the players just want to show up for gameday, give a half hearted effort, and collect their paychecks. They all want to provide, including league leadership, the lowest quality product they can in which the public will accept.
The NBA is particularly sensitive to low effort attitudes from incoming young players. The NBA is an elitist club. You have to win the genetic lottery just to get in college basketball, much less the NBA. So the kids born that way aren’t required to put the same amount of effort out to make it big as other sports. While other sports are not immune in some form to players having to be lucky genetically, it’s not nearly as hard to meet the requirements as it is in the NBA. You have to be 6’3 just to be point guard. Less than 2% are even 6’3 and it gets much harder with every inch. 6’4 and one is considered in the 100 percentile.
I''m different. I love those old school playoff games. The final would be 81-75. I hate to see a score of 115-112 because you know its just jacking up threes. No strategy to the game.
Finally somebody said it about this traveling getting out of hand🤝🏾 it's ridiculous😂
Rasheed keeping it real. The NBA now is trash! Thanks LeQueen, thanks Silver FU!

Its not just the NBA. All sports is RIGGED. 100%. Pro and some college sports is WWE now. Truth.
They feel the need to spice it up with narrative, because of how boring and corporate the commish made the NBA with the new rules. No hand checking, way less post up hustle, tech thrown at for the mildest reasons, agenda pushing (that pride night on the T-wolves court as I followed my poor Blazers made me wince painfully)... I see an old school match, I don't see the clock until it's over even if it lasts 2h30. With one of these modern matches, unless I see an exciting player on the court like Shai Gilgeous Alexander, I am gone by the halftime.
NBA has slowly been dying for last few yrs! I can't even remember last time I watched a game, it's that bad! As a Piston fan it's embarrassing smh. Sports betting has ruined all sports single handedly!
1:10 man said “do you guys remember the Nintendo 64?” Then proceeded to name a game released on the original Nintendo 💀
Tonight the Lakers shot 23 free throws in the fourth quarter the Raptors shot 2. Lakers won by one point. Rigged 😂😂😂
Thanks Rasheed for keeping it real! You can check my comments on sports videos on CZcams and I’ve said it repeatedly, the NBA and the NFL are the new WWE! People forget they are both private companies and can determine the outcome of games if they want!
"Double Dribble!" That's the NES, two generations before the N64. LOL Great game though...Sheed is right...shoot the 3 from the exact same spot and it always goes in.

Man sports betting just became legal here and i just started watching nba regularly again since early 2000’s. Glad i come across this because i noticed how boring and rigged it seems…has turned into free throw contests and so many fouls called
All the sports using AWS algorithms to make the game more entertaining is rigging the sports
Double dribble was a classic
I feel this!!! Especially on the travel calls. It’s so baddd
The traveling is waaay out of hand. Never heard of a “gather step” until this era.
That “gather” is used just to justify traveling and I heard Doris Burke use that term and I’m like “you’re from the old school and now you’re using it” she knows it’s BS.
I’d rather watch a competitive game 95-88 than 130-124 with no defense. Some of these games looking like the recent era all star games the way they let them have dunks
I've heard Sheed say this same shit back when he played so if this is what's going on then it's nothing new. I believe this is what the NBA has been ever since David Stern became vice president in 1980 (before he became commissioner). You immediately see it become this story driven product. But even in the early days of the NBA, the draft was openly rigged for popular teams, so it's really always been this.
Since the beginning
Been saying that exact same comparison for years... all sports now have a storyline
This is the best basketball channel on the tube💯 🏀
I’m really pleased to hear someone finally speak up . Especially former players . It’s blatant to all viewers and we see the change in real time . As kids we don’t notice the development in change . But as an adult and going through decades of watching games , you get a sense of change and you can point pout where the change is happening . In my time I’ve seen the Jordan era ( change in fouls etc ) . LeBron era ( taking your talent to wherever you want ) , Curry era ( for threeeeeee ) and now this new era of scripted drama play
Shaq was the first to take his talent where he wanted. Leflop mastered it.
@@sloaiza81VERY, VERY TRUE. Shaq gets a mega pass from the media cause he is 1 of the all time great media athlete personalities, all the nicknames, jokes, outfits, and interviews were great from Shaq. So the media made him their darling, imagine if LeBron played for 8 different teams, or whatever it ended up being for Shaq, and didn't win titles. Shaq was the most dominant player ever and only has 1 MVP, yet ESPN immediately puts him top 10 all time, they don't say he only has 1 MVP 😂.
Current NBA is like having a full season of all-star games. The defense just stands around and lets offensive players get as close to the basket as they want, and everyone is shooting as many shots as possible from behind the 3-point line.
All star games before were better defensively
The defense is not allowed to play though or they give up 60 free throws. It's better to just hope they are cold from the 3 pt line that's the new defense.
@@joeshmoe2746 The defense is not allowed to play tough because the league cares more about offense that results in high scoring games between both teams. That is the reason hand checking was removed 20 years ago.
MEANWHILE: Rasheed Wallace was ONLY a *4-time all star* 🤣
Buhl said Nintendo 64 bruh that was Nintendo lol
Double Dribble was on regular Nintendo 1986. He said Nintendo 64, which wasn't released til 10 years later. Lol.😂

Rasheed never been wrong . We need the 90s basketball era back R.1.P THE GOAT 🐐 KOBE BRYANT #824 . ITS NOT ABOUT THE # STATS ITS ABOUT THE IMPACT YOU HAVE , KOBE IS WORLDWIDE
I said this on another thread, just like social media has algorithms designed to exploit our dopamine these sports leagues have now implemented dopamine algorithms for live sports. It’s all about entertainment ie offense so why let an extra step get in the way of what could be a highlight. It’s sad.
Sheed, you have more personality than the entire league right now! These young fans seem to only care about the money line, not the players or competition and excitement of it all, it’s lost!!! Right on the money my man!!!👏🔥💯
I agree😮😮
I used to joke to my brothers years ago saying the nba is like the WWE.
I wonder how much ESPN has been influencing this, i was surprised to see how much ESPN interfered with the NCAA football conferences and then with the scandal with the Emmys. it seems ESPN doesnt just report the news on sports but creates it
This is why we love bruh
😂😂😂 it really does feel that way
He is right on point……even seeing fans leaving early, things need to change man
It’s weird now how back then traveling was legit frowned upon and it made you actually look like you couldn’t play. But now it seems to be the wave and ppl will defend their fav player no matter what. It’s wild.
He speaking facts he played in the era where u had to fight to get into the playoffs basketball when he was there was lit I still remember that brawl with Ron Artest and Jeremine O'Neal that was crazy son I will never forget that fade 😆

The NBA & WWE have similarities... they don't call traveling or carrying in the WWE either.
But this is the NBA - we do nor want drama and bias. We want Big Men, Skills in the paint and matchups like MJ bulls Chuck suns. Sick of threes with no flavour!
Basketball is not a sport that should cater to casuals. It doesn’t work, nobody wants to watch the Harlem Globetrotters
I remember they would call out MJ every so often for traveling when he did his sudden spin move to the baseline. I can't recall the last time I've seen them call LeBron for traveling which he does almost every bully ball drive to the basket.
@yking James records are invalid because Sheed said so? Dude the NBA has never called traveling or fouls on the superstars. Dr.J never got called for traveling.How old are you 12?ouaresoyou9727
@@youaresoyou9727 how is King James a cheat?
Wow, they exposed so much that fast! This needs to go viral!
Preach Sheed!!!!! You ain’t lying!!! 💪🏾✊🏾👊🏾
Are there any more team rivalries? Or even just individual rivals?
Last One Was Warriors Cavs KD Ended That & Now Its Literally No Rivals Just 1 On 1 Rivals Maybe But Not A Full Team On Team Beef
There was the Warriors and Cavaliers for a few years. Part of the reason that some of the intense rivalries have died down is the NBA is more a player focused league, and star players will jump teams to play with their friends. It was pretty common for a star player back 30-40 years ago to stay with the team they were drafted to and play the majority of their career with one team. Larry Bird played his whole career with the Celtics. Magic Johnson played his whole career with the Lakers. Isiah Thomas played his whole career with the Pistons. Karl Malone and John Stockton played the bulk of their careers with the Jazz.
The thing is now many star players are joining their friends on other teams. Lebron teamed up with the Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh to form a superteam with the Heat for 4 years. Then Lebron went back to Cleveland and played there for a few seasons. Then Lebron signed with the Lakers and demanded that star players (Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook) get traded to the Lakers. KD left OKC to join Golden State for three years and the Warriors went to the Finals for those three years. Then KD left the Warriors to team up with Kyrie Irving in Brooklyn for a few years. And there are plenty of stars that do that now.
100% right this is what sucks about nba now
Double Dribble was on the original NES. N64 was later on
Nfl is the ultimate WWE as well
National Fixed League
Not as bad as the NBA
@@ronhargrove1176 lol its way worse than the NBA but sheep don't see it. Every game matters narrative in football. "Any given Sunday Bs". Basketball has continuous motion and more plays. Football just has a play by play as well as endless manipulating factors. LeBron is actually a superior basketball player compared to most throughout all time. Tom Brady was the least athletic yet somehow has 7 rings
@@kungfufemafam9216 Lebron is old news and the NBA now is nothing but an all star game
@@ronhargrove1176 I agree but my point is they're all puppets. Old news while he is still playing ? Wrong.
2015 marks the year the NBA implemented a lot of rule changes instituted to allow players in the NBA to score more POINTS.This is documented proof NOT opinion of 14 NBA rule changes made to make scoring in the NBA EASIER.🤓It’s NOT the players fault.🧐1stThe league appointed a select committee to review and revise the rules,chaired byJerry Colangelo, to make changes to the rules in order to make the game faster, provide freedom of movement by the offense and level the playing field for smaller players (Blinebury,2006). 2ndPlayers can take four steps basically now,3rd players can’t hand check,4th players can carry the ball consistently without being penalized,5th ANALytics have taken over the game with Stat padding, 6th defense is NOT a priority in the game, 7th players are injured far more often, 8th you don’t see 1on1 matchups where two of the best players that play the same position duel each other on offense and defense,9th an abundance of players rest DNP or choose not to play various games not due to injury but team/personal decisions, 10th the defensive 3 second rule took the big man out the game from dominating the paint, 11th 5 second rule, 12th the 3 point line was shortened actually before 2015, 13th eliminating illegal defense guidelines and allowing “Zone Defense”; 14th the mid-court 10-second rule was reduced to 8 seconds in order to further increase the speed of the game,🧐
Big mistake on changing rules.
NFL changed their rules… NHL changed their rules… MLB changed their rules as well… They trying to increase revenue which they have… You right tho…
@@thedeezyshow I personally don’t like rules to changed because it’ll mess up the game
I agree with Sheed 💯Especially when he mentioned about the traveling part.
Basketball stopped being a sport the moment sports betting became legal. It's all sports entertainment now, which is no different than the WWE.
that's the PRICE yaPay when you want to be ENTERTAINED 😂🤣
(last i heard: *sports is entertaining* .. becareful what you ask for)
How is this still surprising? The Nba has been creating storylines to sell tickets since before 1960. Champions have been predetermined or at best influenced. When Billions are being made there gonna do whatever to maximize that profit in any way.
If that was the case Denver would not have won in 2023, referees often steal games, sometimes they steal championships, but that's not always the case
@@student99bg I didn't say it goes as planned every year. But we know from former players and refs that games are called for specific outcomes. Ever consider Denver won because Kd is suppose to lose?
@@student99bg I do agree sometimes teams sneak in and win. I would have used the Toronto win instead of Denver but still.
@@jasonnelson6624 Maybe, but the NBA wanted the Lakers and Lebron in the NBA finals 2023 and Nuggets beat them 4-0, I don't believe that part of their championship run was rigged in their favor at all. Even for the Suns series I would need to see evidence, especially because Denver was winning their games by double digit margin
@@student99bg I agree it's not every game or even every championship. But when you have a group of billionaires they don't just lose or spend money. They invest for a return. This isnt just basketball but all sports college to pros. It wasn't that long ago when NBA teams went bankrupt. But really why wouldn't they do all they can to maximize profit? I'm not someone who says it's all rigged. But you have some of the most successful investers owning teams now are they ok not making the most they can? Maybe?
I’ve been saying that the talent level in the nba is horrible. Everything is a pick and roll or pick and pop . Not so much talent is in the league . Just a bunch of over paid roll players like draymond green .
lol sure
There is a serious lack of basketball fundamentals
