earlier today, I read a most interesting piece of writing discussing the role of the NBA in shaping the game of basketball in North America.
I would like to know what others on the message board think about the writer's points in the article. I think it will definitely spark some good debate.

People forget how much the defensive aspect of the game has improved over the last decade. Notice how there are teams who score close to 100 pts/game like gsw for example and they have a losing record. GS has tons of talent, such as jamison, hughes, jackson, even blaylock but they lose because they don't play defense. Sometimes the most entertaining basketball is not the best.
