The Wiz Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 (edited) Really?? I think that without question the best athletes are playing basketball and the skill level in recent years is higher than it has ever been. I can understand not liking it. Everyone has their tastes but the skill level of the guys playing now is off the charts. I'd hold soccer players in a higher regard in both athleticism and skill over a basketball player. Â I guess my point is you can train yourself to score from anywhere, that's a given but how often is a shot blocked in basketball compared to soccer(and/or hockey, a pass in football, etc). Â They are gifted at their game, but so are the Harlem globetrotters. Where are the NFL game breakers? Or the NHL slapshots? And if your answer is that the NHL and NFL have other sub leagues, so does the NBA; it's called the NCAA. Edited July 22, 2015 by The Wiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just can't stand Ohio St. and the Wolverines, hope their fans get used to hearing about Connor Cook and Dantonio winning the Big Ten. hey now! Some of us are good people. Good luck Sparty except for that one night in The Shoe. Also please venture over to the CFB sub forum so we can converse about the upcoming season... I am crazy excited.

And if your answer is that the NHL and NFL have other sub leagues, so does the NBA; it's called the NCAA. The athletes in soccer are similar but are 6'1" not 6'8". There are some very skilled players as well but if you believe that you can train yourself to score from anywhere you've definitely never played. Finding the space to get a shot off at that level is insanely difficult compared to any other sport. Guys play within an arms length from you which cannot be said for hockey or soccer. In addition in those games the shots are at the ground level. It is easier to get your body in front of something coming from the ground up than from 9 to 10 feet in the air. Â The level at which basketball is being played is the reason for the insane leaps in ratings, revenues and growth. About 15 years ago the game was in a terrible place of one-on-one basketball. Since that point the skill level has grown to the highest that it has ever been. This has been done in a time with the biggest, strongest and fastest guys to ever play.

About 15 years ago the game was in a terrible place of one on one basketball. Since that point the skill level has grown to the highest that it has ever been. This has been done in the with the biggest, strongest and fastest guys to ever play. I've played. Couldn't shot with a damn but could always find someone open that could. I understand your point about blocked shots and shooting. I just think if it was so hard you wouldn't see scores like 110-102. I think for me my problem is more with the game itself than the players. In hockey or soccer when you get a breakaway you still have a goalie to beat. Granted they aren't often in basketball but it's more than likely two points.  My other gripe is if players are 6'8" they barely need to leave the ground to dunk the ball. When guys are making 60-70% of their shots within 7ft it takes away from the game to me.  Now on the other hand, watching someone light it up from all over the court is something to see. I watched some of the final this past season and was probably the first time in a while it was appealing. (Although it could have been because I wanted lebron to lose )  I dunno. Just doesn't really tickle my fancy I guess. Edited July 22, 2015 by The Wiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Day 10 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I was a die hard Indians fan growing up. But they betrayed me and moved their AAA team to Columbus, now I view them the same way I would view this football team if God forbid something Canadian happened. (no offense CBF.) Â My fan-dom actually predated the Bisons' affiliation. That affiliation was great (as was the Pirates one). For some reason I was attracted to them in the mid-80s when I first started to understand sports... strange because they were so awful back then. I love punishment I guess. Â They left Buffalo for Columbus and it was disappointing, but completely justified. Columbus has a new facility, and they also have this Ohio regionalization thing. Every affiliate is in Ohio with the exception of long-season Class A. Cleveland-Columbus-Akron-Lake County-Mahoning Valley. I just dont think they were producing new fans here enough. People are way too entrenched in the Yankees for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 1. Bills 1. Mets  I tried to get into the NBA and latch on to the Brooklyn Nets. But I can't watch it. And I simply don't care about it. I don't have a favorite college football team and I'm barely an occasional viewer. I generally root for any team from the state of Florida to lose. I only watch hockey when a) it's the Stanley Cup Finals and b) there's nothing else on TV. I only watch college basketball during March Madness and my bracket determines who I root for.

jimmy10 Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 is it possible to like the Leafs AND the Sabres? Sure it is. I have deep family connections to Toronto in the Original Six days so I inherited the Leafs as my primary hockey team. But as a Western New Yorker, I'll always pull for the Sabres, just not when they play Toronto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
