I am with you. I enjoy the game and the unadulterated athleticism. When they are on their feet, they are beasts.
I still thrill to the skill. I was never that good but wished I was.
I don’t like the wussification,but the games can still be good.
In the playoffs, it’s the best of the year.
The game can be great, now kick out everyone associated with the League front office and bring in people like Iron Mike, who love the game, the competition, the comraderie and discipline.
