I've debated this several times with my buddies and there seems to be a large divide of people who absolutely love college basketball and hate the NBA, and people who hate college basketball and love the NBA.
It seems to be the argument against the NBA is that the brand of basketball is stereotypical superstar v. superstar one on one basketball, the players are just a bunch of overpaid crybabies, there is no emotion like there is in the college game, most players just mail it in to collect checks, there is not a lot of team unity and so on...
And the argument against college basketball is that the game is more focused on the coach than the actual players, my belief that the court just isnt big enough for the size of the kinds who play these days, every time down the floor there is either a three taken or someone missing a layup, no room for athletic players to shine, nobody outside of North Carolina cares about the Duke/UNC match ups every year, defenders are allowed to clog the lane as long as they want and so on
Being a huge NBA fan and a huge fan of the NCAA tournament i was wondering how YB feels about the respective leagues and why.
I personally would like to see the college game opened up a lot. Like allowing these amazing kids to get six fouls (the game is so must more physical now,) widening and lengthening the lane and three point line so there is more room to operate. (you almost never see mid range jumpshots in college)
but anyway i would like to hear what everyone thinks.
