The NBA does, anyhow. At least, in my opinion, Mr. chiefforlife. It's thugball so far as I'm concerned. It barely resembles the game James Naismith invented. It's like something else entirely. Fouls on practically every possession, allowing 7 steps to the basket, offense comprised of dunks and 3 pointers followed by more dunks and 3 pointers ... I much prefer the college game, although as time passes, it's getting just as bad.

This is all old stuff. Its gotten and will continue to get better. Since Donaghy theyve done a lot better job. Having said that, Miami deserves a huge Asterisk next to its name.

I read some transcripts from Tim Donaghy's book (the former NBA ref who did jail time due to gambling, etc.).
He spoke at great lenght about how all the refs hated Iverson and he got "jobbed" almost on a nightly basis....he said they would laugh about how hard he would get hacked without them calling fouls. Another one that blew my mind.....they (the ref crew for a game) would wager on who would blow their whistle first in a game (for a foul, not out of bounds, etc.).....the first person to blow their whistle, had to pay the ball-boy fees and pay dinner for the ref crew later that night. So minute after minute would go by with unbelievable hacking going on without any fouls... He also talked about the star treatment and how the league instructed them to find the nearest player and assign that guy with a foul (rather than Jordan, Kobe, etc. picking up their 5th or 6th) The NBA is dirty and "fixed" (almost as dirty as SEC officials!!) ![]()
