I like to watch both. But streetballin' looks hella cool and you can tell they're playin' for fun and for the love of the game. You can't really tell with the high-paid NBA players. So I like streeball better.

I wonder if there's a street hockey league?

The nba player now aren't as good as those from like the 80's early 90's, but I bet they would wipe the floor with streetball players in a regulation game. And remember, you cant do all those tricks in a regulation game. |

I think NBA is better because it's based on the actual rules of the sport. Sure And 1's cool and Sauce handles the ball pretty well, but when it comes to playing within the rules, he's nothing more than a guy who can dribble with mediocre shooting.

You know what's cool? Playing a real game when a "cool little streetballer" does some tricks, gets nowhere, and then travel and miss a layup. I appreciate guys like Rafer Alston aka Skip to my Lou who know when to play street and when to really ball.

I dun think NBA has anymore heart... or fundamentals for that matter... Considering that everyone pretty much drives into the lane... And sry laker fans... but the reason LA lost is cuz they weren't playing like a team... its pretty much a 1 man play wen they hav the ball... but dun worry... I like Kareem Rush... he's arrite

NBA is starting to go into Streetball.. when you see all these new fresh players play.. they playing like if there on the streets.. some arent passing the balls and some cant shoot for crap. you see other international teams they are playing basketball compared to the US. that's why we lost badly at the olympics vs whats their faces...
i like nba tho. |
