vuduchile 1,941 Posted October 31, 2019 It's a great sport at pretty much all levels. But, there's not much reason to watch the NBA before the playoffs, and not much reason to watch the NCAA before March Madness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was responding to edjr: 29 minutes ago, edjr said: Poor people enjoy basketball for some reason. then I responded: I've been poor most of my life and I have never liked basketball. Also, it's not a stereotype if it's true. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vuduchile 1,941 Posted October 31, 2019 I was at a basketball coach's meeting last week and the HS coach said the lowest % play in the game is posting up low. I assume this is because of zone and/or help defenses making it more difficult to operate. He went on to say that passing the ball into the post then kicking it out for a 3 was one of the highest % plays in the game. That assumes your team can shoot. Gotta wonder how Bird, Jordan, Malone and others would operate in the post with the newer defensive rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He became much less effective later in his career, partially due to age but largely due to the new rules. Bird and Jordan both had good jump shots so they would have been fine. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
