yeah, you just don't see these things much in other sports. -- (edited) - groiny Jul 5, 07:58 9
- well you do in some respect, but not to the same level. - Truman Jul 5, 08:02 8
  - sure, but a baseball team is 25 players, you can't really fill 15 spots with all-stars. - groiny Jul 5, 08:16 7
    - right, just look at Trout and the Angels. He's Lebron of MLB but can't carry his shitty ass teammates to the Finals every year - Beaker Jul 5, 08:18 1
      - even when the Yankees were buying all the high priced free agents, they could not fill 70% of their roster with all stars. -- nm - groiny Jul 5, 08:23
    - I agree, the closest example is really soccer. hockey can stack a line in a game, but there are multiple lines so it isnt as crazy. -- nm - Truman Jul 5, 08:17 4
      - but nobody would notice a soccer game being played. -- nm - groiny Jul 5, 08:18 3
        
        in the US sure, but in the rest of the world, Neymar is a bigger star than the entire Warriors team. -- nm - Truman Jul 5, 08:21 2
        
        but the rest of the world is full of rapists and criminals. -- nm - groiny Jul 5, 08:22 1
        
        so politicians? -- nm - Truman Jul 5, 08:24
However, most of what makes the NCAA great is the 1 and done factor of the Tourney - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 5, 07:57 3
- Yes. The NBA should consider that format. -- nm - David Jul 5, 08:00 2
  - Disagreed. But I might go for 3 games series, though. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 5, 08:20 1
    - disagree. just like hockey, all 7 game series are better. but the NBA should get rid of the east and west conference and just have the best 16 teams - Truman Jul 5, 08:26
