Most of the guys don't care anymore. They get their bag and they're good. Look at Ben Simmons. The competitive spirit of the league is dying.

I've said it many times before and I'll say it again: When Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett and Tim Duncan retired, that's when the NBA died for me 💯

That “18 year contract” line damn near killed me 😂😂

“Wipe your tears with 100 dollar bills..BASTARD!” 😂😂😂😂 I can’t tell you how many times I rewinded that

Another problem i have with the NBA is the damn carrying of the ball...everybody carrying the ball now like legit running with the ball

"Ben Simmons- Suspended for being a bitch!"😂😂😂😂

As a Sixers fan, watching Ben Simmons sink 3s on IG and then refusing to shoot in a game was just infuriating. He represents all that has gone wrong.

Boutta share this with everyone possible. So true. Nothing triggers me more than seeing my fav team lose a game because someone jumped and flailed their legs getting 2 free throws. On god bro, embiid. I fricking hate him. He legit 7 foot 1 and needs to flop to get points. And then commentators say he's "dominant" because he has this special "knack" to get to the free throw line.

Bro never seen such a epic rant. All truths and funny af😂😂😂

French football player Karim Benzema said it best. "A complaint never overturned a call". Why bother risking ejection by complaining when the result is not gonna change?

Luka and Jokic have both mentioned that EuroLeague is harder to score in. The reason is its game is closer to how basketball was played in the NBA in the 80s and 90s. What is happening now is the cause of the removal of the handcheck, Adding defensive three seconds, and the advent of analytics. Shoot more threes and remove the center from the paint, you get the amount of space teams get because defenses have to defend it when everyone on the floor can. For the younger people, this is why they say 90s defenses were tougher. When the three pointer was largely relegated to the specialist, the defense was relegated to defending the mid range. When you defend the mid range, the defense is closer to the basket and there is less space to operate when you want to drive in the process. Hence why the center was the focal point for so long. It was a relic of a time when there was no three point line. Give it to the tallest guy and have him throw it in. Now, you get more players doing more things which is great. You get people with more skills but it makes for essentially a three point shootout with the occasional layup/dunk.

I am a young bball player and I gotta say, the modern NBA is making me lose more passion for the game. It is like players don’t care anymore. Some young players have a one-and-done year and that's it. Some players are scared of social media clowning them when they should know they control their image, not social media. If players are scared of getting injured in the all-star game when they have amazing doctors shows we have a problem. Players should stop abusing load management just to get out of games. Who cares if you blow the other team out, you did your job well. The popularity of the 3-pointer makes me feel bad about myself because I missed it. I am more of a mid-range type of player. I hope people see this comment and agree with me.

"He is under contract for 18 years..." bro that was savage!🤣🤣

Honestly, it's a shame because whenever i watch basketball docs from the 80s and 90s, I get super invested. Like Pistons vs. Bulls and Celtics vs. Lakers. But whenever I get curious, I can't even watch modern basketball.

Bro you speaking 100% FACTS. One of the worse things bout the NBA is how soft the league and players have become. The NBA use to be played by men, now it's a bunch of boys....

I fucking hate. with every fiber of my being that you're correct on literally all of this.

"Giraffes and elephants expected to chase cheetahs and gophers around the court." dude you're funny and accurate. Subscribeddd

The modern NBA is trying to rewrite all the old records as fast as possible so they can move on from the old generation. It's a really shitty thing to do and it really spits on the legacies of a lot of the older players that are still alive. But by the time, lebron is shaq's age, either the league is going to change, or itll just become WWE.

I don't know why, but at 4:22 that "first player to achieve 4 podcast, 2.2 technical, and 1.1 stomps per game" really i laughed my stomps off

Man, there was nothing like 80s and 90s NBA. Everybody played defense, no matter how much money you made or how big of superstar you were. Those were fun, competitive games every single night; no bs load management.

I've watched this video atleast 5x....i hate modern NBA as well. Everything you said was accurate af!!

Today's nba is like a CPU exhibition game on 2k on the lowest difficulty. Not authentic, not fundamentally sound, diluted, an AAU Pro League. The NBA only cares about entertaining the fans to get more revenue. It is a business after all. National Basketball Entertainment. I became more and more convinced that the NBA among other sports are rigged. Unless you really don't care about how sports needs to be played and would rather be entertained with what you got, sports are pretty much unwatchable. I have not been an avid NBA viewer or watched a full game for over 3 years.

This spoke to me fr. As a former NBA fan I think LeBrons 3-1 comeback against the warriors was like the last season I actually enjoyed watching the nba. You could see the problems starting to form, but I don’t think anyone thought it would be this bad by now. It’s genuinely the most boring sport now, I actually started liking baseball more.

This is why I’ve always liked college basketball way more than NBA. Sure the player aren’t as skilled and make dumb mistakes, but they care during the regular season, there are clear and distinct versions of basketball being played by different teams, and the game isn’t just three and d.

Glad someone called it out I saw so many teams get robbed out of wins this season because of blind refs

This is more entertaining than the playoffs. Thank you for speaking for real fans.

The sponge bob flopping around gets me every time 😂😂

I miss Micheal Jordan. Back when the NBA was fun to watch

It's really simple. These players don't want to hoop. They just want to be celebrities, and thats it.

I can't lie as someone who really enjoys the game of basketball he was spitting nothing but facts

Great rant!!!! I feel you sooo much. The NBA is a ridiculous nowadays. I went from a die hard NBA fan in the 90s to not being able to watch in the 2020s.

You are the voice inside my head sir....this was SO cathartic!! Players should be forced to watch this video every game instead of a coach's halftime speech, just to keep their head straight. I have no idea what the rest of your content is like, but i'm subbing just based off this video.

It's only going to continue to get worse too because the kids nowadays watching are picking up the same habits they see on TV

They DO fine players for flopping, but the players that make millions upon millions could care less about a $50k fine. No, if you want to stop flopping, take playing time away from them. ESPECIALLY in the playoffs... I guarantee you they won't flop if they know they're going to miss valuable minutes in the post season.

What an introduction to your channel for me! 😲 I don’t know how this video came across my feed but the sports Gods dropped this in my possession and I’m thankful for it! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 You Da GOAT for this video!!!! 🏆

I dont remember being hype to watch a basketball game in over 15 years

It's no wonder so many NBA players end up in Hollywood. The theatrics they display when flopping is pure art.

This type of stuff is why I don't watch sports anymore, video is spot on. This could be argued for NFL too.

15:31 You might not make millions to put a ball in the net, but you have a better chance of making millions being a comedian than we do at anything. This rant is the most hilarious thing I’ve heard all year. No 🧢

I swear load management is the weirdest concept. Practically every time i've seen it mentioned involving a player, they end up getting EVEN MORE injured than the ones that play every day. It's like playing less weakens your muscles/joints/whatever else so that when you do play you actually end up more prone to injury because your body is not as used to this load since you're playing less. This isn't basketball, but look at shohei ohtani. When he first came to america, the angels had him sit the day before and after games he pitched, not hitting in games he pitched, and was getting 6 days rest between games he started but he was having injury after injury in his first 3 years. Then in 2021 (his last season to prove a 2 way player was possible) the angels had him do the exact opposite approach, basically no rest, play every game, and hit and pitch in the same game. In the 2 seasons since he has played 155 and 157 out of 162 games in the season and this season he has played 50 games out of the 52 so far. This also has caused him to have 2 of the best seasons ever seen and he is currently in ANOTHER amazing season with 0 injuries.

I freaking LOVED every minute of this rant! I hope this video gets millions of views and you blessed with millions of dollars sir.

"If the NBA was a video game it needs to be patched 😂😂😂😂😂😂 im definitely subscribing your videos are great

I died at "He's just a throw rug with legs" 😂

Bro that part about the records had me dead af lol i swear i be looking at them records being broke and be like where tf that came from 🤣🤣🤣

You cannot be more right. God bless Kobe Bryant's soul. God bless everyone drafted in the NBA before 2003. God bless Steph Curry for being the last gasp of loyalty, skill, and work ethic. Damn LeBron James to the darkest, hottest part of hell for ruining the NBA and tricking the world into believing he is much better than what he really is.

Lestat ruined this sport. They see Lestat jumping on superteams, not playing defense, flopping,taking days off ,and he still gets all the money and praise from the media. I never thought I’d say this but College Basketball is now way better than the NBA

Man, your cut ins are legendary 😂😂😂😂

This was perfect. Salute to you, sir. "Ja Morant: Suspended for method acting as King Von" had me literally burst out in unexpected laughter. Oh my god lol.

I hate the modern nba too. This modern world is getting worse and worse. I'm getting close to ending it all deadass

At 8:34 “YOU’RE TRRRRAAAASH!!”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

“Throw rugs with legs” did it for me😂😂😭

Bro, you speaking the truth! Ben Simmons suspended for being a bitch, had me dying

The most accurate rant on the modern NBA ive ever heard

This is the greatest NBA rant in KZfaq history and its 100% accurate!!

This is amazing. You deserve way more subs sir. Bravo funny as hell

listening to this rant is freakin therapy. it's a longshot but, I hope you have more.

Not gonna lie Commissioner, you got me at the beginning with Wario's "d'oh, I missed!"

The first 2 minutes of this video are GOLD. Legit some of the greatest 180 seconds in YT history. The memes, edits, sound bytes, perfection.

Dude, Kareem and Wilt would straight up slaughter today's NBA. Why couldn't Wilt shoot 3s? Because they weren't invented yet! Edit: This is why the USA will begin to fade from the top of FIBA rankings, because the rest of the world basketball doesn't do this crap, and the NBA/America can't handle the rest of the world catching up

Everyone's "scoring" so much because, there's magents in the basketball and rim. They make up all these fake accolades for this weak generation of players. Someone will break Kobe's 81 and Wilts 100. When that happens I'll just laugh. It's too obvious nowadays.

Zion won't do the dunk contest bc he's too busy dunking doughnuts😂

They need to bring back handcheckin soo bad

The biggest issue is they’re paying these players too much money too quickly and babying them. They have 1-2 good season and boom MAX contract, then they either not play, or demand a trade. They need to bring back pay for play, or non guaranteed contacts. Give them a portion guaranteed and the rest if they fulfill the obligations.

im glad this showed up on my recommended. i have my appreciations of the modern league but u described everything wrong w it perfectly.

8:07 and to the rest of the world, THIS is why Americans don't like soccer/futbol.

The Denver Nuggets just renewed some faith in actual basketball. They pass and cut.They do not camp out at the3 point line.

This sums up everything I think that has gone wrong with the NBA over the past decade

W video this season made me gravitate closer to hockey, NBA would be way better if players were allowed to fight tbh

Facts. I love basketball but when i go to watch old nba highlights in the 90s I'm stunned at how balanced the game is

I haven’t watched a full NBA game since the 2014 NBA Finals. NEVER again, it’s just AWFUL now. The 80’s and 90’s was the best era of the NBA by far. GREAT video!!!!! 👍🏾

The problem is many of us still love basketball so those few good games keep people coming back.

If a coach really states to the media that the team would not do flopping, but some players on the team do it anyway every time, the coach should be fired on the spot looking at you Darvin Ham the clown. Everything else in The video was well said

“Ja Morant, suspension for method acting as King Von” 😭😭😭😭😭

Excellent video! To add to Kobe playing with a dislocated finger, Jordan played a playoff game with food poisoning, vomiting on the sidelines between plays and dominated the Jazz, anyway.

Give the NBA FIBA rules and I’ll watch every game.

Zion Williamson should really change his number to 2, in honor of his type of diabetes

6:02 - "Positionless basketball" says the same thing to me as the "Three true outcomes" in baseball, where every PA was either a walk, a strikeout or a HR. It was boring and nobody cared about the abundance of home runs, so MLB made drastic rules changes so other parts of the games would be utilized again and, what do you know - people are into baseball again because there's ACTION. Not just a bunch of tall dudes shooting 30-footers.

Ok this rant was spotbon and hilarious 😂 I hope you make a part 2 to this cause this was good 😂🤣

We in Europe also miss the old NBA and are of the opinion that the soft mama's boys of today's league aren't real basketball players. None of them would last 5 games in the Euroleague, not to mention that our coaches would bench them in a flash or send them to the locker room even if their name was LeBron James, if they screw around or don't play defense for example. This guy is so right, there's no reason whatsoever for a true fan of the game to watch the regular season. Too much power to the players isn't a good thing, the game is above all. Where would all these spoiled brats be without the game?

Crazy they trying to kick Cousins out the league

I can tell a lot of work went into this. Subscribed as a testament to the effort. Good work man.

The NBA has two fundamental issues 1) It's pre draft development pipeline 2) Unqualified undiciplined coaching And both these issues ultimately stem from poor league leadership. Having a solid development pool, a league from which to evaluate and draft elite minor players who have competed against each other since 16 maximum, is the crucial element the NBA lacks. ( see Major Junior Ice Hockey.) And its well within their financial capacity to create such a league, they just don't. Instead they wanna emulate baseball and create a minor league, ok, but then they don't ever use it. And then you have unqualified coaching. Resulting in a lack of discipline and poor roster decisions, which also brings me back to the first issue. The NBA does have a developmental league, yet it is not utilized for this purpose. An NBA coach will take on a rookie who is clearly not NBA ready, throw him into the starting lineup, hoping he will magically breakout of his shell, all to the detriment of the rest of his teams success. A smart coach would call up a more qualified player from the G League, put said rookie in his place, and say, "See you next summer." Not because it's a dis, or he doesn't like his hair due. But because it's a wise personal decision and a show of resolve Another problem is coaches play their starting 5 way too many minutes per game for a fast paced game like basketball. Resulting in alot of late season fatigue to where come playoffs, you see alot of settling for shots and drawing contact because players are physically drained.

15:50 Yo I was eating a poptart watching this video Anyway this was an entertaining video

Players should only get paid for playing for the most part. They should have a sick leave type set up for injuries, but when it runs out, the rest should be deducted from their salary. They can afford it, players wouldn't sit out season's if they were losing money.

I just watched Celtics beat the Heat to make it 3-2 All they do is launch 3s. So boring compared to Jokic offense.

I have zero complaints or anything to add to this masterpiece!! Standing ovation for your work my guy!

I wish I could like this at least 10 times because you nail everything here what's wrong with the NBA. Even if they do shortened the season players are still gonna find a way to "load manage" smfh

"HE'S A THROW RUG WITH LEGS" LMAO Yesssssss....let the hate flow through you

Shoutout from a fellow Detroit native, we got dawgs. THE LEAGUE GON LEARN SOME DAY!!!!!!

This video was filled with nothing but hard cold truth. “MVP in one hand. Oscar in the other!” Hilarious😂😂😂

Idk how people get excited for the NBA season in 2023. The league is trash, just players jacking up 3s and no defense. Not to mention these star players are sitting out games. Im also sick and tired of the woke agenda NBA pushes.

That lord give me strength is true because flopping is a cancer

I was skeptical when i read the title, but man this was the best choice ive had to make in my whole life! I agree 100% fuck the NBA I HAVENT BEEN ABLE TO SEE A FULL GAME FOR THE PAST 5 YEARS! its a clown show

I like the idea of the Play in Games. It would be modified for each conference to have 8 vs 9 in a 1 game play in at the 8th place team. You can have that on 1 day. After a couple days rest, let the real playoffs begin

11:10 WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK!!!

Dude this was amazing 👏 Basically everytime i watch a game atleast half this ish pops in my head..But your energy and your editing 👏 chefs kiss bro. New sub 4 sure

This video hurt Kawhi Leonard's feeling, he is gonna miss the first 20 games of next season

The original load management team was the 95 houston rockets. The whole team took turns being "injured" and missing games down the stretch. Then suddenly when the playoffs start, the whole team is suddenly healthy and ready to play and the rockets go from a 6 seed to winning the title. RudyT knew that they had a better chance if they were all rested instead of playing the whole season and being tired.

Players getting traded everyday , too much entertainment and gimmicks, the comparing, literally a reflection on our world, everyone is offended… Players are too good to play, they are overpaid cry babies… #IGrewUpInThe90s
