I very much enjoyed watching this year’s summer Olympics, especially since there was a little bit of tension and uncertainty with the men’s basketball team this year after some sloppy play in the group stages. FIBA basketball is very much a different beast than the NBA and it was fun seeing these guys play under a slightly different rule set.
Generally, I feel like the NBA pretty much has it down pat. Most of its rules (the bigger court and three point line, the 48 minutes of play, etc.) make the game harder but given that it’s the most competitive basketball league in the world, that’s fine.
