I don't think the players really care about playing or winning anymore. I watchcollegegames, then I watch NBA games, and it seems like the pro players are just cruising and have no interest in competing, no interest in keeping up their image and no interest in playing hard. Is the NBA seriously clueless about how todays players are just abusing the current system which guarantees contracts? Coach Byron Scott of the Hornets even said many players fake or exaggerate injuries to take time off.

I truly agree wit u! Now and days most bball players only play to get paid and to be famous.And if all they have to do is show up, then thats all they're going to do.

I don't think that money is all players play for now.
There is plenty of competition; these players are here because this is what they want to do. To win.
i agree like manu ginoblii said last year after winning the championship he said people like me that come from other countries live all their lives to play here and the americans get here and lose their desire to play after they have been paid. i think that is sad and feel bad about the NBA because i have enjoyed the sport for many years. but it is true you have players like nash, parker, ginoblii, novitize or how ever you spell it from dallas, yao ming they play thier hearts out every game and leave everything on the court where as americans tend to take theirs to the other court if you know what i mean so if their are some young players out there who are reading this keep the spirit to play the game and your career will last longer cause once you lose the heart to play so goes your ability.
They make millions and dont have to play defense or anything. Just there to make money and and look flashy. Sucks at times, but still exciting some also. College has a lot better atmosphere and harder working players.
I agree,there seem to be fewer and fewer athletesthat tuly give 100%.Sports has allways partly been about money(everyone has to make a living)but it seems to be shifting more and more towards just money."For the love of the game",is becoming an outdated quote.I dont think it's just in the NBA though,it's all sports that are being affected.I think another thing is expansion.It has cut down on the quality of players we see on a daily basis.As an example,there are pitchers making millions per year in baseball,that 25 years ago couldnt have earned a spot on a MLB roster.Reduced competition for roster spots,means less dedication is requred from an athlete for a roster spot.
Really, there just doesn't appear to be any effort in the NBA, unlikecollegeball. What's their motivation to play hard?
Half the teams in the league make the playoffs, so that's incentive right there to just coast as long as your on an above average team. 25% of the teams are usually out of contention by the all-star break, so they don't care. That leaves 7 or 8 "joe-average" teams to battle it out to make the playoffs over the second half of the season.
I think that the competitivness of players is just about gone. If it is there it is not to win a championship, but rather to the individual glory of being "The best player" "The best dunker" "The best 3 point shooter" etc. It is rediculous. That is why there can never be a comperison to Kobe Bryant and His Airness MJ. There have been so many additions or alternations to the NBA rules and the extremities of what is considered a foul. So for MJ to go to the rim for a drive took alot more effort. If the players would beat up on Kobe like that there would be whistle blown like crazy. And I think there are many reasons for the compettivness loss, wether its the players making more money, to the calls getting to tickey tackey. But the game is suffering the image of BBALL is suffering and the fans are suffering. I have many personal ideas on how to change it if you want to know email me. kb08fan@yahoo.com
