LOVERRO: Shoe companies and the 3-point line killing the game

ANALYSIS/OPINION:

While much of the attention in basketball is being paid right now to the college basketball payment and corruption scandal, there’s another crisis facing the game — one far more complicated, but perhaps sharing the same disease — the quality of the game itself.

Quite frankly, the game stinks, from high school all the way to NBA arenas.

That may fly in the face of the success of the NBA. The game has never been more popular.

That doesn’t mean it is good basketball. As we’ve often been told and have witnessed, quantity is not quality.
