Soccer or the NBA? ;-)

Subject: RE: [UC Basketball] Kenyon


The NBA is unwatchable for several reasons:

1) Star players getting all the calls
2) 4-5 steps before travelling is called
3) Isolation plays instead of team offense (24 second clock is part of

the problem here)
4) Little to no defense
5) Thug players and the whole "business" of professional sports...

I told someone this morning that I *tried* to watch Kenyon last night
but couldn't stomach the NBA and cited points 1-4 verbatim. Kenyon
makes some stellar defensive stands around the basket (blocked/altered
shots), but too many times he would just stick an arm out instead of
playing solid D. It's not a knock on Kenyon - he's merely adapted to
the NBA style. As you said CD, it's simply unwatchable.
