I’ve said before that one of the reasons I prefer college basketball over the NBA is that their struggles make the game more relatable. NBA offenses are so smooth, the players so gifted, that it’s easy to forget how ridiculously difficult it is to nail a step-back three against a 6’ 8” human-alien hybrid with a 7’ 2” wingspan and a 35” vert. Basketball is a hard game and even high-level D-I programs have weaknesses that remind you of the difficulty of coordinating all of this movement into a made basket, and I recognize the grind of executing an offense that results in a clean look and points on the scoreboard.
