Maybe the league should just adopt FIBA rules, call the games accordingly, but keep the classic NBA 3-point line. I don't mind watching NBA players play the international game. It's really the last few years here that the pro game has turned into total garbage. What really ruined it for me was in 2020 when "The Last Dance" Jordan Bulls documentary aired on ESPN and reminded me how great the game was not that long ago. Even into the early 2010's I thought the NBA was pretty good ball. What stinks is I've been a Knicks fan my whole life, they're finally good after 20 seasons of failure and frustration, and now the games are un-watchable. I'm pretty much at the point where the only games I'll watch the full 48 minutes are ones I go to live (usually 1 or 2 per year at MSG or Barclays Center) or Knicks' playoff games. And the Knicks of today's era under Thibodeaux are considered a "defensive minded team", so our games are in the 110's instead of the 130's. It's garbage.
