anyway its a matter of opinion :shrug:
Yeah but that still disproves your point.

That's the NBA.

The last 2 minutes of a game turns into a shove fest for intentional fouls.

With today's athlete (bigger, faster, stronger), the entire court looks too packed. They need to widen the playing field. The 94 foot length is good, but extend the 50 wide to 60.

Basketball has been that way for quite awhile. Look at a lot of the celtics and pistons teams of the 80's and early 90's.
