AROUND the NBA:

I dont want to argue about the lack of talent on those teams, if Luka was sending a message to FO or if it was by the FO/Coaching staffs demands.

I think its bad for basketball as a product if widely used and frequently used around the League.

My opinion is that it should be employed sparingly during the regular season.

No need to argue semantics about "dribbling the air out of the ball" as its a phrase I got from this very website.  No need to act like you all have never seen poster frustrated with that style of play or act like you have not seen post from posters thinking the newer, up tempo offense is refreshing compared to Rick-ball.

Getting back to the topic...I think Jalen, KP, Dejaunte have valid points about that style on a regular basis.

Kinda fascinating how a particular “style” of basketball can be viewed as inherently “bad” or “boring” by some, and “efficient”, “purposeful”, and perhaps even “beautiful” by others.

I tend to think that winning is beautiful, regardless of the style employed.
