Seeing guys handcheck is exciting?
Heck yea I want to see defense . seeing guys chuck up three after three after three is exciting to you?
Actually a 28 foot 3 with a hand in your face is incredible. That Durant game 3 shot will be watched millions and millions of times. Stopping a guy with your hands isn't talent. It's lazy. It's much harder to move your feet and stay in front of a player. The new NBA isn't exciting just to me. It's setting viewership records.

Is that good?
Its a growing sport. I know some of us "Back in the day" guys like defense.
In the late 70's-early 80's the game was wide open. In part the 3pt shot did that. Then to counter that the defense rules allowed Detroit bad boy ball and the era of slow ball came to be. Bulls and triangle solved that era but it lead to iso ball with the lack of zone play. That got boring. Jordan was the Iso king and it made him a lot of money.
The game will evolve from here but we have skinny 7'3 kids with PG skills and few low post players anymore. Someone will come along and change that. That man will be able to shoot free throws at games end.
