I would rather go to College Park and see my Maryland Terrapins play a weak non-conference opponent than go to an NBA Finals game.

You raise a lot of valid points. I hate the traveling, bad attitudes, bulldozing in the lane (except for Shaq when he was with the Lakers ) to compensate for lack of creativity or quickness and excessive 3 point shooting. In fact, I hate the 3 point shot altogether because you get 4 guys standing around the 3 point line while the mid-range game is nearly non-existent.

However, I was bred on the NBA and since I never got into college ball, I'll just focus on the Lakers having another ho-hum season while Kobe hoists 25 shots a game.
