Okay, so you wouldn't have survived in the '70s when the Celtics won 8 in a row.

I think you mean the late 50's to early 60's.

I am Celtics fan been all my life. The game today is so diffrent then even when Bird and Magic played. It just seems so forced like the media declaring game 6 of this years finals legendary. Really?

I loved the NBA during Jordan's runs because other teams were just as good he was the difference maker. IDK just not the same for me anymore. I feel like the whole league lacks parity.

The Pacers and Spurs are the only teams that remind of the old days.

David Stern made it this way by protecting his superstars, part of that is due to Jordan and how the Pistons would beat him up.

Yeah, my bad.

On college football...I don't think it will ever be as good as professional football until they start cracking down more on steroid use and they come up with a bigger playoff field than the one currently going into use in... 2014? Can't remember exactly. The 4-team playoff is a start, though.

this is a sport where the college product is head and shoulders above the professional league. It doesnt get much better than College Basketball...March Madness is done right, imo just a notch behind the NFL/Superbowl playoffs.

If college football had a real playoff, I could make a case that college football would take over professional football as the better product.

I agree with the first part. But there is parody among the elite teams, its like the NFL, there are about 6-8 truly elite teams, everyone else is just kind of there.

I agree idiots are running it though ruining the sport (the BCS, and the NCAA).
