I like the NBA, I even like the WNBA but IMHO watching the International Competition of the Olympics is 10 times more exciting than any NBA game and ranks right up there with the NBA playoffs in terms of excitement. That’s my opinion anyway.
I hope USA can pull off some gold and not lose anymore games.
I don’t know if international basketball is inherently more exciting, but rather because NBA players and coaches aren’t used to it, they haven’t been able to adapt their style of play to it and make it as defensive-minded as the NBA is now.
If the NBA played by international rules, it would be different, but not necessarily more exciting.
Have you guys watched how they play hockey on winter olympics?
Game is much more interesting ,there is more strategy involved and team action instead we here in NHL have this brutal almost barbaric quasi game.
