This is an interesting story about Steph Curry's roll in the Warriors' offense:
https://clutchpoints.com/steph-curry...s-best-player/ Related - I think that the broadcasters who show NBA games, in general, do a pretty bad job in helping the viewers explain some of the action, such as diagramming screens (on ball and off ball), defensive switches, pick and rolls, etc. |

Things certainly have changed. Maybe not for the better.
I really enjoyed the 1992 Olympic team, the games were a showcase of what basketball could be. So I was really excited to actually go to a game in 96. USA beat China 133 -70, and frankly looked awful doing it. The game wasn't basketball, but basketballish theater. Just a bunch of set pieces for each of the stars. One guy missed 2-3 alley oop dunks in a row before he finally made it. That was sort of the beginning of my lack of interest in basketball. |

i haven't watched an NBA game in years and I don't miss it one bit. I basically only watch college ball during tournament time and love it.
My take is there are too many "see me" players out there and more of a lack of respect for the game. The days of Bird, Magic, Dr J, etc are long gone. Spectacular players with load of highlight films but seem to be completely opposite of the stars of today. As good as they were, players used to be humbled by the game instead of acting like the game owed them something. I don't know, maybe it's just me getting old and crotchety |

My God, it's like you read my mind. I will add that it's not only just in professional sports, in all walks of like in general.

Yep. It drives me crazy to see 90 percent of young people and even not so young just staring into their phones and swiping, even when in the company of others. They literally can't seem to avert their eyes. In the office people pull out the phone as soon as they get into an elevator. And it's very disruptive of meetings when people can't put the damn things down and pay full attention.

Don’t block my shot and don’t touch me.
I’m not sorry I missed the All Star game today. It’s amazing how much defense they can jam into a 178-164 nail biter.
