Absolutely true, but the current NBA seems to be hard at work destroying itself. Soft defense, unbelievable traveling violations, betting scandal, load management, and flopping.There has always been flopping in the NBA. In the 90's for instance, Dennis Rodman did it. His version was to take the contact and embellish it. The current version is to shoot and fall or to complain "I was fouled!" Even when it is on film in 4k UHD. Viewership is down 53%. Watching a glorified shoot around on a timer has ceased for many to be entertaining. Watching men show utter weakness by showing they can't overcome diversity by elevating their game is nauseating. They instead showcase their lack of acting skills and hope the refs are gullible enough to reward them.
Few women understand the challenges or the rewards to such a life. Too many see men as a stepping stone to their financial dreams but are unwilling to sacrifice what they want for themselves in order to reap benefits they can't imagine.
It does offer some amazing results. I'm wondering what the long term effects are. Too many never learn moderation. "How much better will I look with even more weight off?"
