there's abstemiously no flow to today's nba games. if you like watching free throws, the NBA is for you.
That's not true at all, there were more fouls called in the 90s than today as result of more physical play (that wasn't exactly more effective)

"They foul too much and call fouls all the time in my day... even I fouled out in the 90s."

and this is 100 percent the leagues fault....aint too many nikkas that play ball that's soft,dudes played on paygrounds they whole life where it get rough,and probably still play like that in they free time or playing teammates one on one in practice.....they are forced to change the way they play in the arenas because of the rules set up by the league and the way they know refs call games. You wanna see that same spirit in the nba you see watching :flabbynsick: nikkas play with during a pickup game,trash talking,hating each other acting like they got nothing to lose.

The NBA of today is less "soft" as it is corporatized. The NBA base of fans and corporate donors who financially support the league are overwhelmingly white, and the NBA has catered to their tastes by siphoning out the aggression (response to malice in palace) in a product that is black dominant in order to pacify their racial attitudes.

In order to gain entry to the league, black players have to cede to these demands. GP would gain a hell of a lot more traction with me if he kept it real, rather than trying to float this idea that the league has gone "soft", because of some sort of spike in black male effeminacy or something.
Yup the malace in the palace and Kobe(the face of the league) being accused of rape really forced the Nba to go on that PR campaign, dress code , etc...

This the type of shyt that makes me just not able to fully respect Lebron. Can't believe that's the MVP right there.
but if he didnt react to it wouldn't y'all be calling him a fatherless bytch:why:

Come on breh, that foul wasn't even all that to begin with, that's my problem. He made it look like an assassination attempt out there and acted like he was flexing even though we all know he ain't gonna do shyt.

As I said before, nikkas went from seeing 2 games a week to 3 games a night and talking 'bout they see more foul calls. No fukking shyt.

Dudes also paint the players with a brush based on rule changes. How are the "players soft" when a foul that would have been a flagrant 1 or 2 now gets you suspended a game. That's on the league, not the players

I wouldnt quite use the word "forced". At any rate, the NBA could have easily relaxed the rules in order to allow for a more physical game, after legislating aggressive play out in response to the aforementioned incidents. For whatever reason, the league hasnt done so.
