Why do you watch the NBA?

[Apprentice]

I'm wondering why folks keep watching something they keep on complaining about.

Like a broad in a relationship who keep complaining about her mans but ain't do shyt to get out of the relationship.

Who are u talkin about is the question tho

Can nikkas not like basketball and think the NBA product is iffy?

So I can complain about it afterwards like a Drake album release.

My thoughts follow these 2 posters, I love college and high school but the gap between some teams leave alot to be desired however unlike the NBA, those lower leagues have teams which have different play styles which I enjoy

Honestly after currently coaching a middle school girls bball team, I'm slowly getting converted into the WNBA....

A lot of folks would be better served watching the WNBA too. It would erase any expectations they have trying to compare it to the good ole days.

Not a shot at you OP, but what's worse:

People complaining about something?
or
People complaining about people complaining about something?

There's really no sense being a hall monitor or gatekeeper over people's opinions. That ain't dunking on somebody or a W, it's more of an L and getting denied by the rim more than anything.

At the end of the day someone's criticisms over a game ain't hurting anyone and last I checked that the benefit of living in a "free" country.

People got gripes about things they enjoy all the time. Nothing is perfect and we don't need somebody's validation to enjoy something we like.

When I hear people complain about something I enjoy I just go back to enjoy what I'm doing. Life is easier that way.

You can but it’s still weird to constantly watch a product that you don’t like lol

I used to be a huge WWE fan but over the years I no longer enjoyed the product at the same level. I used to watch Raw and Smackdown religiously every week but now it’s probably been years since I watched a full episode of either. I still like wrestling but I found other things to fill that time instead of forcing myself to watch something I no longer enjoyed

End of the day though people are free to like what they like and watch what they want

It is definitely weird to me to constantly watch something that you don’t enjoy watching. But we can agree to disagree

I wouldn’t fault at all you for deciding that you no longer enjoy watching them play and would rather spend those 3 hours on Sunday doing something else

This thread isn't complaining.

I'm merely asking why folks keep watching something they complain about. That is what I'm questioning. I don't know why anyone would be confused over what this thread is trying to point out. It would be different if folks would praise the league in equal measure, but everything is just constantly negative. Nobody is gatekeeping shyt. It's strange to me why anyone would continue watching something they can't find anything positive to talk about. Every single day throughout the season it's one complaint after another and this has extended back for years.

You've only been on this board since March of this year, so I wouldn't expect you to understand.

Did u watch the Celtics from 1994-2006?

I watch NBA because it is a superior basketball product to any other basketball league. You have to see one of those european 60 point no offense missing wide open shot games to truly understand how bad they are compared to whatever NBA may be these days.

You either watch NBA basketball or watch none until national team tournaments happen.

Having a problem with how people spend their time (that's not hurting anyone) is more of a problem you got to personally deal with mane.

I mean why not simply filter it? The ignore feature is there.

You expecting it to change if it's been going on every single day years is kind of being naive ain't it?

All I'm saying man, look at the front page: folks low key clowning you more than anything and making jokes.

I was watching Power Rangers, X-Men and WWF in the 90s

But to answer what you’re getting at, I’ve still watched the Celtics when they weren’t good

I haven’t cared about the NFL since like 2019 and I don’t come in their threads and complain
