NBA or College Hoops? Which one do you prefer?

This year I have made officially the jump, to me College Basketball is the best. And don't get me started into the greatness of March Madness. I still like the NBA but the flaws might be outweighing the pros. I mean, over half the teams get into the playoffs, the refs giving preferential calls to stars, refs not calling the game equally the last 2:00 minutes as the first 46 min. Guys getting fat contracts and then mailing it in. 82 games long, best out of seven in the first round, etc, etc, etc.

Maybe they should get the FIBA refs to call their games, seeing how the would hate all players equally LOL. What do you guys think?

I enjoy college hoops a lot more.

i really, really love college baskeball and i really hate the nba :P

NBA is so much easier to follow with many college player leaving after 1 year so i like NBA more. I do like march madness a lot though

Both equally. I love March Madness but I also love the NBA Playoffs since I grew up watching the NBA more the College Basketball.

Agreed. I also have a particular team to root for in the NBA, unlike college basketball.

The nba...but is it just me or college basketball is more exciting every game

I'll take the NBA, with all it's admitted flaws. College is cool, but I only follow certain players that show pro potential and the latter rounds of March Madness.

Had a mni discussiona couple of seasonsago with aguy who likes college ball much better, he and others criticize the NBA for its "over paid, pampered, traveling, cry baby players...etc.

My response was that weekend there was a double header on....I believe it was Celtics vs Atlanta and Lakers vs New Orleans. In the first game I got to see Kevin Garnett-one of the most versatile cenetrs/pf's ever, Ray Allen-maybe the best long range shooter ever (and a decent all-round player), Paul Pierce-one of the better forwards/and clutch players of the game, Rondo-One of the better up and coming point guards of the game, Boston as a whole-Top notch defense and team play (I believe it was the year they won it all).

Thats just one team in the first game, not to mention good players like Joe Johnson, Josh Smith (Atlanta was playing very good then), Pau Gasol..etc.Great players like Chris Paul, Kobe...

I get why people like college better but with all it's flaws the NBA has the best of the best basketball players and that's what I want to see and/or follow.

Probably the only good game that night, he's right they are crybabies who only care about their check, they don't play hard every game or play defense. X360PS3AMD05

Even if the teams are sad, for instanceif the Heat are playing the Pacers I still get to see D Wade (future HOF'er)and D. Granger (pretty decent talent).

Are there cry babies in the NBA yes, are there some decent hard working players yes, more good guys than bad.

I like both a lot, but if I had to choose I would take the NBA easy. The overall talent of the athletes is just amazing!

Also lol at reducing the number of playoff teams! MoonMarvel

• MLB: 8/30 * 100= 27% make the playoffs.
• NFL: 12/32 * 100= 37% make playoffs.
• College Hoops: 65/347 * 100= 19% make playoffs.
• NBA: 16/30 * 100= 53% who me the playoffs.

Seriously? Why don't we just let everybody in and play a round-robin. Mediocre teams make the playoffs constantly out of the 8 and 7 spots. The playoffs should be a reward, lets put them(and us) out of their misery and lets keep them out of the playoffs.

[QUOTE="PSP107"][QUOTE="Master_Live"] How many 8 or 7 seeds have ever won the Title? That's what I thought. Those team are wasting time and space.Master_Live

[QUOTE="Master_Live"][QUOTE="PSP107"] lol u didn't properly addressed my comment. what im saying is that the NFL/MLB wild card teams won or atleast made it the Conference and Championship. The Jets damn near won it.PSP107

Sure, but I don't think is worth it. Either way I don't think David Stern roams this forums so my hopes are none :(

I prefer NBA because the pace of the game and skill of its players is so much better to watch.

I rather March Madness over the NBA Playoffs though.
