Because you're watching the best athletes in the world. I love the NBA, although I wouldn't say I like it more than college. It's just a different game, and I enjoy both for different reasons. I'm certainly more passionate and emotional with college ball, but I also really enjoy the NBA.

Watch an NBA game live and it blows the college game out of the water. And I have been to some big time college bb games - MU/KU, MVC Championship Game, etc.

My biggest problem with the NBA is they act like they don't care. Their defense, the way they inbound, the way they look when they win or lose... They all lack intensity.

Like I said NBA's biggest problem is TV. It makes the game to simple bc the players are so damn good. When you watch in person, its unbelivable. TV is blah.

The players move much more fluidly and efficiently in the NBA which makes it look like they are not trying as hard.

I don't like rules that promote offense. And I'd like to see what would happen if a team pressed just ONCE...

What a terrible view. The players look like specks. Well, at least you get to watch the game on the biggest tv ever.

The only time i even watch college ball is probably only the final 4. Even then i half ass watch it. College sports dont appeal to me at all. Football or Basketball. |

IMO, there is a bigger gap between Pro Basketball and the amateur ranks than any other sport.

To me it's a bit like Nascar, on TV it doesn't translate, but it's fun to go watch in person.
