SPORTSMANSHIP--NBA vs NCAA

Fishhead · Mar 20, 2004

I must say, the NBA players can learn alot about good sportsmanship from watching this tournament.

From the games I have caught, the NCAA kids have been terrific.

Sportsmanship should be dictated if it can't be learned. The league can help themselves but for whatever reason they choose not to.

i go out of my way not to watch nba games anymore...in today's nba, everyone wants to be a hero...they all wanna take the last shot even if they're shooting 10 for 27 on the day...sometimes, you just have to learn to call it a bad day, and let someone else take the last second shot...

Yes. Boring and will make you sleepier than pot.

I still believe that as passionate as you can watch any sport, it's still s game, not a war, you have human beings playing against you, and as such you have to respect them and the effort they're doing trying to beat you, just as you're trying to beat them.
I was so upset when i knew about Pat Riley's "rule" on his teams: If you help a player from the other team get up, then you get a fine.
Fvck that, they're just your adversaries, not your enemies.
Just my 2 cents in sportmanship
