I love watching those old NBA games on Classic. Did you know that the final score of the 69 7th game between the Knicks and the Lakers was something like 131-126? And that was when the Knicks were known for team play, working the ball around and finding the open man.

What's the average score of an Eastern Conference game these days---80-76? I've seen games where both teams score in the 60s

No wonder the US can do no better than the bronze medal. These guys today couldn't shoot an open J, let alone pull up and hit a shot off the dribble.

The problem with college is that any player with talent leaves for the NBA after his freshman---or at most his soph---year.
