Adam Silver 10 years from now: "Our players don't want to play basketball anymore. I think we have to listen to their feelings and evolve our entertainment product -- the halftime show will now be the only show, it will last 2 hours, and we pay the players to sit on the sideline and record podcasts."

Yeah it seems like some of these guys enjoy doing their podcast as much or more is playing the actual game. And sadly, I'm not talking about the retired old players, who understandably do not play anymore. Im talking about the current players many of whom are stars. Not saying there's anything wrong with current players doing podcasts, at least here and there, but some of them it seems to be almost a daily thing. Just seems a little weird to me. Maybe I'm just used to the retired guys and journalists dominating this facet of it.

I know this isn’t your usual type of content, so I really appreciate you calling this crap out. He (Silver) seems like he has no confidence in his own leadership. Not very long ago, he was telling us that reducing scoring and getting a competitive all star game was a priority…. Now AFTER the all star game happened, and the players didn’t care what Silver said, he reframes it and acts like “well at least they had fun and the guys deserve a break”…. Like the hell?!?! No, they get paid millions and enjoy an entire weekend, and ALL THEY GOTTA DO is give us a game with the same intensity as the summer pickup they play. The guy seems like the “cool parent” who just wants to be liked by his kids, yet doesn’t know how to discipline and teach anything, and the children suffer for it.

At a certain point you gotta figure out where the sweet spot is with the rules and STICK to that rule set. Both basketball and football have ruined their respective games by fiddling around with the rules too much and nerfing defense into the dirt. Not only does this make it nearly impossible to fairly compare players from different eras, but it makes for a product which isn't much fun to watch.

Remember Adam Silver's words a few years back: THE NBA IS TOO PHYSICAL AND TOO TOUGH ON DEFENSE, SO WE'RE GOING TO CHANGE THE RULES TO MAKE IT MORE ON THE OFFENSIVE SIDE. It worked, now NBA games are horse races instead of basketball matchups, out of 100 games nowadays, maybe one or two are worth watching, the rest are pure crap. When is it going to change? When Ratings on major audiences start declining severely, that will take a while, but it'll happen, MLB had to do it to stop losing young fans, the NBA will have to do the same once its fan base gets shortened by watching pure quality games.

Flopping gets rewarded consistently and any semblance of trash talk gets a T. The current game blows chunks.

Keep on preachin' bro. I grew up with basketball in the 80's and 90's and had the good fortune of witnessing the greatness of Bird, Johnson, Jordan, Scottie, Drexler, Barkley and the next generation of Shaq, Penny, Kobe and Iverson. I did not hate the following generation... i.e. Lebron and Wade. But, can barely watch the current generation. I've played at a representative level, coached and refereed for 20+ yrs... and, todays version of basketball genuinely sickens me. And, I'm not just talking about the NBA... because it all trickles down. The NBA has sold it's soul to the all mighty $... bending the rules to "Make it more consumable" for the general masses and attract more fans. Normal average joe players see the way the NBA players are travelling and carrying the ball and it has seeped into the accepted way of playing the game. FIBA is complicit in this as well... having changed the rules to accommodate/normalise this way of playing. While I acknowledge that the official FIBA rules are updated and interpreted every couple of years to give refs clarification on special situations and consistency around the world... FIBA really did go a step too far introducing the zero step interpretation into the general consciousness of the common basketball community. The Zero step rule has become an excuse for the next generation to travel with reckless abandon. As a genuine lover of the game, long time referee, player and coach at a representative level, I feel the zero step in particular is harmful to the integrity of the game. I don't necessarily think the blame can fairly be placed at the feet of any individual... it's been a real team effort. Yes, the NBA commissioner holds some responsibility... but, I would argue players like Harden (with the three step step back), Giannis (with the zero step lay up) and Harden, Lebron, Poole and many others (with the blatant carrying/obvious double dribbling) are the ones looking to exploit every loop hole or rule bend they can get away with. And, therefore are more responsible for popularising and normalising this way of playing. Introducing these interpretations of the rule to allow players more freedom and encourage scoring also compromises the history of the game. Players from many decades of the game who have made the game great did not have the advantage of carrying the ball with impunity, taking an extra "Zero" step for their lay ups and the advantage of reduced contact on the dribbler. These modern day scoring "records" really do not deserve to be in the record books. It's the rules and general way the game is played that I hate... not the players. I respect many of the players and much of the skill that exists... like Curry's shooting (He is the greatest shooter in NBA history), Durant's freakish skill at his size, Giannis' desire to win (even if his skill isn't quite as good as his attitude), Lebron's all-round all-time physical ability and skill and Jokic's biggness (Thank God we finally have good post play). If anything the current NBA generally has more great athletes, a higher general level of skill and more refined coaching... but, the way the game is played is not as good as it used to be. It's also a shame younger players just aren't able to understand this.

That's interesting I never heard of the zero step thing though but yeah it's been a team effort to really ruin the integrity when it comes to calling things like traveling double dribble or pivot steps and no wonder tall players are starting to dominate again because on offense they don't get anything called on them they can just use their long strides and just walk towards the basket

@TrevyTheYellowistMan 2 месяца назад
my thoughts are this, Adam Silver doesn't love the game of basketball i think his main focus is growing the game and making it as lucrative as it can be. Day by day we're losing players with that winning mindset because the money becomes the most important factor with most players. They're afraid to lose deals and miss out on big contracts so its like the lack of effort is there plus the bad officiating the players are barely allowed to be emotional now and that took a big part out of the NBA for me the lack of love and enthusiasm for the game is almost completely lost i dont even watch it any more.

Shawn, your voice transmits the pain you are suffering perfectly. It is the same pain I feel on a daily basis when I play with young kids or I happen to watch clips of NBA games - I'm 48 now. Basketball saved my life, literally, on multiple occasions. Seeing how they destroyed the game I used to love so much is a terrible sorrow. I am carrying out a form of protest: when I talk about this stuff with anybody, I refuse to call basketball what they play today because it is not. I use expressions like "handball with baskets" or similar to stress that this is a new sport. I don't care whether they like it or not, but everybody must be aware that this is a different sport. Needless to say, I dislike it. I heard with my own ears at the playground some kids (8/10 year-old) saying: "It's better to miss a three pointer than scoring a 2-pointer." I live in Italy, but unfortunately the NBA model is copied everywhere. This is the awful outcome: the Game is being dismantled globally. On the other hand, they are right: NBA revenues are increasing year after year, relentlessly.

Thank you for this rant. I am 40 and in recent years have been sick at the state of the game.

Watching since 1967. I'm 67 and team identity has been stripped away. Every team, High schools, College, professionals. Same.
