[QUOTE="kg01, post: 282039, member: 11"] I wouldn't say you're in the minority in your thinking. I'd say you're focusing on the worst of the sport to describe the sport overall. Like I said, no winning teams are doing what you're describing anymore. You have to go out of your way to find teams relying on "muh guy's better'n your'n, so I'm finna just drive past 'im". If a 1-on-1 situation occurs, for good teams, it's a result of a lot of the action you're describing as the type of basketball you like to see. There are some clear-outs that occur where the guy waives everybody off and you get 8 guys just standing there spectating, but that's largely by teams too BBIQ-deficient to do anything more complex. Oh, and they typically lose as a result. Take the MIN Timberwolves, for example. They largely rely on basic, uninteresting "stuff" to score. Wiggins taking his man. Next play, Towns takes his man. Next play, Lavine takes his. Wash, rinse, repeat. As a result, they're one of 3 NBA teams with 3 guys averaging 20+ ppg. The other 2 are CLE and GState. The major difference being those other 2 teams actually run "offense" whereas MIN doesn't. As a result, "efficiency" is only a rumor in MIN as are wins. The 1-and-done thing is somewhat of a problem, however, it's not killing the sport to the degree many feel it is. Largely, it's resulting in teams in the lottery being perennial residents there as they continue to draft guys based on potential. It's why a guy like Dunn went before Brodgon. Fast forward to now and Brogdon is arguable the ROY while Dunn can hardly stay on the floor/in the rotation for a team that desperately needs him. ETA: I think you're opinion is spot-on circa late-90's, early-00's. The game's changed a lot since then. [/QUOTE]
