Why are gang type people even allowed in the NBA????


Look at some numbers === less than 10% of high school basketball players go on to play college ball. And less than 5% of college players go on to the NBA. There are 10 equally qualified players who never get a chance in the NBA who could step right in and take the places of these gangster rapper types. The NBA should be able to take only the best behaved, best citizens, best overall personalities to represent their league. The overall quality of play in the NBA would not suffer if these uncivilized types were banned. And the public image of the NBA would only increase.

I agree.

I also think they should raise the baskets to 12 feet so you would have to shoot the ball into the basket rather than just show off and cram/stuff it in. That would probably change a lot of the play and players in the game.

There's too much showboating, celebrating and hand slapping after too many or every single insignificant or ordinary play or move.
