You are side-stepping the players playing "for the love of it". No one loved Nelly's Hack A Shaq. Guys followed orders...but its not sustainable. Its not even possible to argue that it is sustainable...the league would lose viewership fast.
You are side-stepping the league being functional long term.
Your post is unsatisfactory to me.
There should be well defined rules that prevent Nelly's Hack-a-Shack and STRONG VERBAGE in the bargaining agreement that allow a SWIFT counter to any SMART, but game ruining rule circumventions that lead to lower QUALITY BASKETBALL.
Its not that hard. But it is if this is fake and unreasonable.
JUST PLAY BASKETBALL. THE BEST GUYS...GOING AT IT. NO BS REF CALLS OR NON_CALLS. BUT MONEY HAS TO RUIN EVERYTHING
