WOW!

 

Someone doesnt know much about basketball.

 

Asinine.

Well that puts me in good company as John Wooden said nearly the same thing I did, he stated that the best played basketball is now the Womens game due a focus on team work and execution not just athleticism.

 

For the record I have watched the NBA for over 35 years and love basketball at all levels, who are you to call me or my opinion a "name" just because I disagree with your views?

 

I also just noticed that HammerTimes post no longer refers to "Highest Level" but to "Good Basketball" which I can completely agree with.

I didn't say anyone was asinine. I said your comment was. It is.

 

I quoted you saying "higher level" and nothing about "fundamental."

 

No NCAA women's team plays at a higher level than the NBA.

 

I could take Dixie's team last year and beat any NCAA women's team in the country and I don't give a darn how well they do the two-handed chest pass. If Coach Wooden was still with us he'd be commenting about the nice bounce pass while the women's team was getting run out of the gym.

Yeah and John Wooden hates dunks too. :lol: I can't roll with that thought.

 

Give me some of the best athletes in the world playing basketball at its highest level in the NBA over any level of basketball by any gender. There is no better basketball played in the universe. Period.

 

The worst team in the NBA would defeat an all star college basketball team. Easily......go ahead and throw that women's team out there and see what happens to them. Or will you and John Wooden be at a WNBA game?

Well it's both. I was editing it before anyone replied.

Meeting wrapping up. News conferences expected to start in 10 minutes.

The NBA lost me when they moved my favorite team to New Orleans

I guess the rub is in what we consider "Highest Level". NBA has the best players in the world. But just as Highlands or Trinity would get ran off of the field by the winless Colts and even UK or WKU, your arguement of how women would play against men doesn't have any merit. But would anyone argue that Trinity and Highlands may not actually execute the game better than some pro or college teams that would beat them because of superior athletes.

 

I have been an NBA fan most of my life but the games get harder and harder to watch each year, even though there are some All-Time Greats playing in the League right now.

 

I'm not hating on the NBA just don't see it as the highest level of basketball, best players yes, best athletes yes, best execution no best D no.

The NBA has the best execution, best defenders, individual and team in the world. I'm not going to have the argument like I said, I don't want to offend anyone. If you don't agree I don't know what to say.

Looks like a false alarm...:madman::madman::taz:

 

Fisher: Revised NBA deal doesn't meet on all system issues. Going to meet with player reps over next few days and then figure out next step.

Whew.....dodged a bullet there. Good.

Again, Jumper, you cause me to question you. The NBA players play better D and it's not close.

 

If you want to say you like the style or the atmosphere that's cool. The level of play in the NBA IS higher than college or high school.

Whew.....dodged a bullet there. Good.

 

Do you have a point?

That's cool, I'm not arguing either just look at it differently.

 

I'm more OldSchool NBA, Doc, Iceman, Moses, Magic, Bird, Kareem, Big Game James, "Boston Strangler" AKA Andrew Toney, DJ, Mo Cheeks, Chocolate Thunder, Moncreif, Dream, MJ and Chuck as a Sixer

 

Here's hoping the deal gets done....

^ Yes, and it was clear. I am glad the deal isn't done. I don't want the NBA to play this season.

Good for you. No one is making you post or read about the NBA.
