I don't get the hatred for basketball......I have seen posters who regularly show their dislike and their contempt for basketball. If I don't like a sport then I won't watch it. Why go on telling that you hate it? probably the NBA administrators have led to this hatred? But then cricket and football administrators are even worse people. At this point of time basketball is my second favourite sport and in fact almost my favourite along with cricket. I just want to see less time-outs like in European basketball but irrespective of all NBA basketball still can be extremely exciting. The only thing I can’t stand about basketball is the final few minutes of intentional fouling. Drags things out and hardly ever seems to matter. I have mentioned it in past that what problem you described also annoys me and is one feature of the game that I dislike. Another thing that I dislike is Hack-a-Shaq thing. But overall my enjoyment is very positive from watching NBA. Hope they can sort out the issue with intentional fouling. Stops the flow of the game. |

Pretty sure the NBA decreased the number of timeouts/game teams have in the last season or 2 to rectify the problem of having the last 2 minutes take a half hour to play. |

Yeah I think they have though it still doesn't finish as timely as Euro League games do.
One of the reasons why I have disgust for intentional fouling is that in the past I used to gamble on almost daily basis. The intentional fouls would often make me lose my under bets as the score will go over.
So do you enjoy basketball (NBA)?

Sure, I'll usually watch bits of the first half and tune in for the second half if the game is of particular interest. It's hard to watch a game start to finish since it's so easy to score.
I think the sport would be more interesting if it was scored like volleyball. No time clock, first team to score 21 or more points wins a match and a game is a best 3 of 5 matches.

Volleyball (I used to play that in school) is such an underrated sport. I wish it was more famous. |

Why do so many hate basketball? I get not liking the NBA. Nearly all the elite players in the NBA are black, they make a shitload of money, and they are often political. There's a definite correlation with those who say "rap is crap," support Trump, and hate the NBA. |
