I love the people who say they aren't in "basketball shape." If Shaquille O'Neil has the ability to play a game, there is no conditioning involved.

I just don't see the challenge or athleticism involved with many players.

wth lol. idk man.

Professional basketball is way harder than you think. There are guys, just like in every other sports, who have to get up early in the morning to practice. Take 1000s of shots a day to perfect their shot. No pads like in foot ball so if a 265 pound 6'9'' man collides into you at full speed ouch. 82 games a season running up and down a court. Mind always switches from offensive to defensive any second. If I were to say the same statement with baseball or football players I would get burned (which I never would because I understand they work hard too).

I could go on and debate with you but you cannot force what one man sees to another. I guess you just have to be a balla to understand the game. Just like you need to be a baseball player or football player to understand the game.

I'm going to be a dick here just for shits. Many of the players are great athletes, but it seems kind of useless for basketball.

Since when is perfection a 50% field goal rate like most NBA players?

There's collisions in basketball? All I ever see is a slap here and slap there followed by a dive the Italian soccer team would appreciate. Let's take Shaq for example. Guy is huge, but he breaks his thumb and he is gone for months? Suck it up sunshine.

Let's be real, they walk half the time.

I understand it just fine, I just don't appreciate it like I do with Hockey.




Magical stuff.



Don't tell me running into a 6'9'' get hurts as much as this.

You'd have to have the millions of dollars defenders be standing still if you want close to be close to 100%. Hmm I wonder why .300 batting average is considered good in the major leagues. Oh wait do they record the the shot attempts in hockey? Jeez.

Hmm I guess someone doesn't watch/play enough basketball if that's all he sees. The position of the thumb with your shooting hand is important. You lose that you can't shoot. Try playing a sport with no thumbs or where your dominant hand is necessary but you can't use your thumb. Don't tell me Shaq only dunks, amirite?

And hockey people are on skates. Wth argument is that.

In my opinion, based on your weak arguments. No you do not understand fine.  

I don't know why you always hating man. A lot of your replies in the past few days are just ignorant and hateful. You need to take a chill pill or something. Stress is a common factor to diseases. Depression is one of them.

I'm not going to continue this further with you. I didn't post this topic so you can bag on basketball. I only wanted to know if there were any other NBA fans. You can talk to me like a normal person who can talk rationally and understand. Or be ignored for being a hater. Thanks for reading.

I don't give a poop about b-ball, but I wouldn't say they aren't athletes. I played for a while (and hated it) but they do run a lot and it's not a sport just anyone can play. It requires skill, practice, and the ability to fake a fall like no other sport on earth, lol.  Wink

They are athletes, just kinda pu****s about it when they get bumped a little bit cuz it gives them a chance to score a free throw point or two. I never understood why you should get rewarded for taking a dive like they do in b-ball. Also, b-ball players seem to be the biggest whiny dooshbags in sports half the time.

still, b-ball > soccer. soccer is a girl sport plain and simple.
