The Big Diesel keeps going. The Kidd is no longer a kid. Big Ben's ticking is no longer like clockwork. The NBA is supposed to be the top league, however the top players are not given the fair chance to shine because of old laggards who have decided that they are not ready to give up the millions, fame, and idea that they may not have the same game at 30+ that they did when they were 22.
There is so much talent that is either in or near the NBA level. There is even one player averaging 37 points per game in the NBADL. Go look it up and give him some more hype so then maybe he’ll actually get a shot at the NBA sometime soon. The league works to protect its valuable assets almost like the NFL’s new rules where you can’t lay a blade of grass on the quarterback once the ball is released from his hands. The NBA now has a touch foul and anything remotely dangerous is considered an intentional foul to protect the safety of the players and hopefully keep them around longer.
Everyone who played the game 20 years ago will say that the league is entirely different than it was when they played and that is the truth. NBA doesn’t care about the athletes as long as they can make money. The one reason that these rules have been initiated is to protect the ‘valuable’ and marketable guys like Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard, Greg Oden, and LeBron James. As long as those guys can stay healthy and bring in the big bucks, then the guys at the top could care less about the rest.
