the fact that all the players are driven by money(except payton and malone) and not the will to win, everyone on the teams are selfish and cant run a legitimate offensive set not to mention no one plays defense

That statment alone shows how much you know. NCAA players aren't greedy because they can't get paid and do you think some of them wouldn't take max contracts? And Karl Malone, one of the highest paid players in the league for much of his career ($20 mil per) wasn't greedy? You think the Jazz could have used some of that to sign players? And now Malone is thought of as generous? Give me a break.
Don't go grouping every player into that....The NBA sucks because players are coming out to young from your genious NCAA Men's league....We have two boards, NBA and NCAA my advice is too go to one where you know what your talking about and thats not here.

Malone and Payton have already made their money and are only seeking what they could not get while playing on the teams that paid them their maxmium contracts a champion ring. There is nothing to say that both are being generous or that they are playing out of heart for the game its all about the ring and not about money, I bet that after this year both will want more money wheather they get a ring or not especially Payton. As for your claim that the NBA sucks that your opinion you should then stick to your cup of tea of collegeball because you could hand pick a college team to play even the All-Stars of the NBA East and they would not stand a chance much less to the West All-Stars.

But besides that... Almost every single player in the NBA is playing because they love the game. The NBA consists of the best basketball players in the world. Players arn't playing there because they just decided to go out for basketball in high school. Most of them loved basketball since they were in diapers and just played everyday. So they get a chance to go to the NBA and happen to have a choice of how much money they get. Hell yes MOST of them want the most money possible. Now as for your Shaun Bradleys, they just happen to have a little talent and are as tall as hell. |

I like the NCAA 10 times more than I like the NBA. But to stereotype every player as money-driven is just wrong.
I do think there are people who ruin the NBA though and cause people to think everyone is like that. But if you take a look at NCAA, noone is like that. Maybe its because they cant be like that in college or maybe its not, but it still makes the NCAA way better than the NBA.
