uh yes they are, did I say something wrong?

Have you ever seen a live NBA game in your life?

pssst...NBA players are also taller in real life than they appear on TV.

In college, I played against several people who went on to play in the NBA. Some played in the pro leagues in Europe.

Before the NBA turned into the joke that it is today, I would catch 10 to 20 games a year in Milwaukee.

Mangler had an accident on the way home from the liquor store. He was run off the road and crashed into a woman's clinic. It was one giant Pabst smear.

Ok great, so you're blind or disingenuous then.

These players are blazing fast in real life, something the medium of TV does not accurately convey.

Are you trolling or being purposely dense?

When Ikk first started posting about basketball I got excited we may have some threads about it.


Now I just wish he'd stop.

Sorry, reffing an NHL game would be 10 times harder than the NBA. That sport moves 10 times as fast as NBA. Hell a lot of time the cameramen lose sight of the puck.

There's nowhere near the amount of contact in an NHL game, the only time there's contact is when players check eachother.

NBA game there's literally some amount of contact every 24 seconds, on every side of the court. Refs have to decide how much contact to allow and how much to blow the whistle on.

NHL is hella easy to ref compared to NFL or NBA.

Not to mention you have a lot more players in the mix at one time in basketball, compared to Hockey. And a lot more contact is allowed in hockey, you just have to watch more for specific infractions.
