As fans watch
College basketball this time of year, anxiously awaiting March Madness,
they have yet to notice there is another basketball league playing as
well. NBA includes the best of the best and deserves respect, although
nobody ever delivers it. Players were signed for a reason: they’re very
good.
The program is run very well, although there have been a few incidences of brawls between teams. What sport doesn’t have a few?
NBA
has produced many highlight faces. Michael Jordan, hands down, the best
player of all time, has had so many clutch shots and phenomenal plays
that one can’t help but stare in awe. From Jordan to Larry Bird, Wilt
Chamberlin, and Magic Johnson, how could one say that NBA isn’t
entertainment?
The NBA provides all of
the favorite college players. Take Deron Williams from the Utah Jazz
for example. When he played for Illinois, he was the star, and was fun
to watch in his last season, when Illinois went all the way to the
Championship. So how can people say they love College Basketball more
than NBA? The men are the same players that were watched all through
college, only now they are succeeding, or even being humiliated, while
making large amounts of money.
Many
people argue that College Basketball games are more intense, and teams
are more organized. Plays are run based on height and speed of the
team. The NBA runs plays based on the same factors. In Davis’s opinion,
games are just as exciting in the NBA because they can score a lot more
points, and players are more explosive than in College.
So all negative thoughts on NBA, think again. This is a league which deserves respect.
