LOL. Some folks did a study not too long ago and the average number of uncalled traveling violations per NBA game was around 60 or so, if memory serves.Quote:

And what's with the open stadium Lombardy Trophy presentation? What happened to the old days of presenting in the locker room, with players pouring champagne all over themselves and everyone else? That was a ratings worthy spectacle. Instead of being forced to stand out on some cold tundra that they just spent 3 hours exhausting themselves on. The interviews and player comments are far less authentic.Quote:

Considering that they call about 6 ish travels per game, I seriously doubt there are that many travels that occur in a game. I am avid NBA watcher and a stickler for travel violations. This 60 number is highly inflatedQuote:

What? the ligths are never off, I have to sleep with the lights on. What does this got to do with basketball?Quote:

I'm seeing crazy good passing in the current NBA. The Warriors excel at it. Just the stupid traveling and palming ruins the entire game. The fans are all in denial that it's just big time wrestling. Although, in support of your point, I read that Pete Maravich made enemies on his own team by making them look bad with their flubbing his magical and unsuspecting passes that were ahead of their time.Quote:

The QB could retaliate next week by "taking a knee" directly after receiving the snap from center! This is like Big Time Wrestling!Quote:
