Teams play the way to do to win, not for marketing purposes. "Winning, and competition, are a distant second to packaging when it comes to the NBA product" is an absolutely ridiculous statement. What kind of front office values marketing over winning? One filled with people who don't care about keeping their jobs, and I'm not sure anyone fits that category.

Btw, UConn PLAYS NBA BASKETBALL. All shots in the paint and 3s -- no midrange shots.

Shaq would do fine, and be highly valued, in today's NBA. Just like the Admiral and Hakeem. Those guys were studs. Robinson and Olajuwon would be shooting 3s and Shaq wouldn't, but they'd all be All-NBA.

The way the games are reffed is a small component. It's the talent. Big guys can handle the rock and shoot from deep. Why wouldn't you want them doing that if they can????????????

I just really couldn't disagree more with your take. Just seems like you don't like the modern NBA so you're yelling at clouds.
