NBA Vs College Ball

What do you guys prefer watching? Some people like the teamwork and unselfishnes of college, and some prefer the flashines of NBA, which do u like and why?

College by far...talent at the big schools is very good ... and the kids actually play hard for pride (and a paying career). NBA is lazy and lame...yes there are good atheletes but since the check is already in the bank...why bother with the effort (especially at the "free" throw line). Make the game more incentive based and it might improve.

this topic isn't even debatable...

you start out with 18-22 yr.old KIDS, then you have no salary, no sponsors or advertisment, march madness, and your fans are also 18-22 yr. old KIDS.

on the other hand you have greedy, selfish, superstars, only worried about their bling and salary, and if your club can generate enough money to hold down big headed superstars like kobe and shaq, then you too can win a 3-peat in this league.

i mean we're talking about pure basketball vs. something that's been diluted with too much money. think about all the college players that left early just to get a taste of this money. yea, we would all love to be filthy rich, but competition without the sponsors or endorsements or the salaries is so pure.

I think the topic is debatable, if you want pure fundementals than you watch college, but if you want a more exciting and entertaining game you watch nba. Oh and you need more than 2 stars to win a championship, before phil jackson arrivied the lakers had a few years with kobe + shaw were they didnt make it out of round 1. And because the nba has a working salary cap unlike baseball you cant just go out and buy a team.

whoaaa, nba is more exciting than college...you gotta be kidding me. there is no way nba finals are more exciting than march madness. and true you can't buy a team, but you can't tell me that money doesn't influence how good of a team you have...try telling that to the high school seniors that skip college to go to the pros because of money. or even telling that to all the college students that left early becasue they weren't "bought" out

then you have stars like allen iverson, and jayson williams that think they can get away with anything because they are now super stars and make so much freaking money that the law can't touch them. it's sad to see these college kids go early just to be rich

Hmm, Your right the finals were boring as hell, but the kings/lakers series was great. If there had been consistent officiating it would be one of the best in a long time. And sure moneys important to them, but its important to everyone, I'd skip college too if i was going to be gaurenteed tons of cash.
@The law, wernt a bunch of college players charged with rape earilier this year? Its really no different, Iverson got in lots of trouble as a kid I understand, and he faces 2 misdemeter charges right now, so apparently he either can get away with it, or didnt do anything :P. Regardless players off the feild behaveor doesnt mater to me as far as the game I'm watching.

College players are more mature in that its not all about money, but as players there not. During March Madness I remember cringing so many times when they would run down the court shoot the three miss, and do it again, not really setting up the offense or having any sort of system.

i guess i can see it your way too...

but for me it's watching the pac 10, big ten, acc, and how annoying dickie v. is, rooting for every team that plays against duke, march madness, cinderella teams, damn, it's so pure and exciting to watch

dick vitale (or however you spell it) is the greatest sportscastor EVER!

OH BABY WHAT A SHOT! I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT! THAT IS AMAZING! OH BABY! OH BABY!

i think nba is more spectacular to watch, but for the game itself, college basketball as a step up

Hahaha Am I right to assume your being sarcastic? That guys the most annoying man on tv

actually, i like watching both to tell ya the truth. :-/

I like watching both too, but if I had to choose, it would have to be College Basketball. Why??? Cuz, College players play their asses off and have no salary cap. Cuz College players want to get into the NBA and realize if they get injured, they have an educational career waiting for them.

Meanwhile, in the NBA...you have players that already make money. They don't want to play their best to avoid injury. If they get injured, they'll be making less money than they were and would actually have to use their brains to make a living. LOL!!! Imagine Shaq working at the office.
