Players travel all over the court and it's never called. One guy is doing forearm shivers every time he drives to the hoop. The non stop crying to the refs by certain players. The flopping. No defense. The ticky tack fouls. The NBA is awful. It's become the WWE.
As has the NFL
And every pay at the basket the offensive player is screaming "AND 1"

WWE with out the funny promos.
They want the casual fan base of every franchise to think they have a 30 point per game superstar on their team.
You might be on to sth.
You’re spot on. They think they can trick the masses by expanding the league nationally and internationally and changing the rules to advantage of the offense. Makes for a lesser product.
Good point
Facts I noticed a lot of players all the sudden have superstar stats
🎯🎯
Sheed definitely speaks for a ton of fans, because nobody signed up to see 140-135 in 4 qtrs. Where's the Defense, where's the intimidation, where's the battle to "earn" points instead of just scoring points. I don't think there's too many foul calls, but the threshold of what constitutes a foul is too low. Too much ticky-tack stuff, not enough full faceted competition it's all offense.
Thats why eg in EuroLeague you will rarely see a team scoring over 100 points. They play both defence and offence and they also have better rules. Eg in NBA goaltending just awards poor offence, in FIBA, once the ball touches the rim, it's fair game for both sides.
@@medved4030 FIBA also plays 8 less minutes per game and the courts are a bit smaller. But I’d agree with you if you said FIBA/Euroleague (and adjacent leagues) were the natural progression from NCAA. I believe FIBA is the more authentic form of basketball, NBA values the entertainment factor a bit too much.
Games were better when it was 67-75 😂😂💯🔥🔥 and when they used to go to overtime or double OT that's the only time we would see 100!!
which made 100 mean something 😢 good Ole days
Thank you. Some teams even hit 150. It’s ridiculous. Even when I play 2K, I had a guy complain because I pressed him on the inbound. 94 feet. I’m not gonna let you just do whatever. You better work for it. Made him quit 😂
Yow yow you not serious with wht you just said Bruh abt him giving up on a video game bcse he cudnt play the old way 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 with REAL DEFENSE LOLOL@denzellallen3282
Remove 3 sec rule, bring back hand checking and start following actual b-ball rules in walks, carries, offensive fouls, no load management, techs and heavy fines for flops, penalize ref for obvious bad calls.
LeBron wouldn't play 10 min if flopping would be punished like that😂
as a 44 yr old who has always loved basketball.. the nba has been steadily getting worse , and i havent been able watch in several years now, when i do try it quickly gets annoying with nearly every play 4 guys just standing and one guy shoots 3 and there is no defense ..also the feel of the game is changed , theres no passion, no rivals, no excitement in the broadcast or crowd...
Totally agree with you.
As a 41 year old who grew up watching in the 80s and 90s…I conquer with everything you just said. I just tried watching the Lakers Clippers game the other night and just got frustrated and turned it off.
Just watch any videos from just from the early 90's , Knicks vs Bulls for example, nobody was trying to live and die by trying to jack up 3"s . Even Michael Jordan, one of the all time leading scorers , won DEFENSIVE player award TWICE. Defense? Doesn't seem to exist in the NBA anymore. Even Charles Barkley backing up his Big Butt dribble ng into the paint, then, turn around push into someone and score, take out the 3 point line, then see who can really play and then EARN your points
@@ronaldzent6321 those series were hype, it was real battle,,so glad i was a kid in that era
It’s way worse than you think now. It’s hard to watch a current laker game without wanting to throw your remote.
So happy he's finally able to speak his feelings, he's saying what I've been thinking about today's NBA
*without David Stern fining him too* 😂
fr man this new league is so soft it's disgusting
@@rell4219stern is in hell keeping an open tab on Sheed right now 😂😂😂😂😂
@@rell4219 David still FAAAAR better than Adam Silver.
Bring real defense back. The game has turned into a layup & 3’s drill
You are definitely 💯💯💯💯!!!!!
It's like a nightly all star exhibition game.
Space is way too easy to come by. It’s so boring.
Every game is 100 plus points ..
@@jamesroberts1810 💯
He not lying it’s hard for me to watch nba games now. I’m stuck in the 90’s to mid 2000’s nba era
There's a reason why 80s & 90s had the highest ratings. Relative to this era that was pure competition. I wanna see real competition, not a 3pt contest.
from 2000-2010 was the best by far. The average skill level in the league right now is better but the superstars are nowhere close to the 2000's. Plus it was the toughest defensive era and no super teams.
@@GJG_3yup the league had real bucket getters back than cause defense was way much harder
@@GJG_3 The 00s was a slog of an era, real grind it out basketball. Great for kids who were just getting into the game because scoring wasn’t easy. Great for older heads because the slow pace allowed you to dissect it in real time. Terrible for casuals tho. Today’s game leans far too heavily towards what casuals are interested in, highlights & instant gratification, no more grind it out, discipline and fundamentals based basketball. It’s just glorified pickup with teams running offensive sets.
I still watch games from the 90s and 2000s because I was so young I dont even remember the stuff I did watch. I cannot pay attention to modern games. It's like watching a different sport. I genuinely can't pay attention to it. Same thing with football. Football used to be awesome. It sucks now. But its mainly just the soft people playing the sport. Growing up pampered.
I agree with Sheed that I want to see more bigs posting up in the NBA.
Bigs these days soft asf just wanna shoot jumpers all day
the players growing up have no idea how to post anyone up.
Speaking absolute truth! Thats why NBA is registered as "entertainment" and not "sports". It's basically the same as how WWE is structured.
No. You're referring to the NFL
Ummm....ALL sports are categorized as entertainment. 😆🤣😂
@@aiconic10 FIBA basketball is how sport should be... no commercials, no illegal defense, no tacky fouls, goaltending once ball touches rim anyone can contest for it. FIBA refs let the players play. No foul-selling, flopping. That's the way it should be.
@@aiconic10they're letting you know right to your face this isn't real sports.
💯
He’s right. The league is too soft. The load management is whack as well.
Load management has got to go. These guys making too much money to only play half a season.
Who's doing load management this season
@@shawncain882 Check the schedule and availability of players during back 2 back games.
haha. Everyone! Bucks, spurs to name two obvious ones at both ends of the spectrum
The league put an end to load management this past off season, players are getting fined for it now if they do. I mean Kawhi has played almost a full season
“Wamba Wamba ain’t going to stop him” bro 💀. God I love Sheed!
I had to roll that back about 3-4 more times to make sure i hear right. I was RMAO.... #BallDontLie
Rasheed is 100% percent right
JJ Reddick gassing these new nba with analytics
The 80s and 90s where the best time for the NBA. There was no politics being pushed. There were hard nosed defenses. There were TEAMS not groups of players with a Star. No one was building a brand. Such a better time.
Get rid of the gather step. A travel is a travel like what its supposed to be. Players should be able to approach the refs and question a call or have an explanation of a rule rather than being tech/whistle happy. Even possibly bring back hand-checking to even out the offence/defence.
Players somehow travel even including gather, mindblowing
Half of all step back 3's should be waved off for travelling.
The ratings went down after the real ones like Sheed left the league.
And their nonstop political narrative being thrown
The ratings are down but the league is more popular than ever...
Ratings have been on a slow decline ever since MJ retired
@@msharp138you're speaking about "marketing" but overall I attendance/viewership is down and has been down for a while! It's just a matter of time until that same viewership/attendance catches up to them (NBA) then you'll see the really story. Marketing revenue is great, but we'll see how great it is when there's no one to market to🤷🏿♂️
Ratings were at it's absolute highest during the Jordan/Magic/Bird era from 1984-1998.
The softness in the officiating is why the scoring and 3 pointers have expolded over the last 15 years or so. They've taken away physicality which is the only advantage the defender had. Defenders are not challenging shots as hard because its so hard to defend without fouling. Its what the league wants but I think a lot of people find it predictable and boring. It does feel as though its a 3 point shooting contest.
Bring back physical defense
If they don't they won't have a fan base in ten years. Edit: they're going the wrong direction actually.
What I find so funny is the misconception from those in the rules committees and owners who both want more scoring as if THAT is what makes good basketball.
Fans want to see great players making great plays, that's it, so steals, blocks and physical play is literally what the best era (80s and 90s) was built on.
Scoring can be up, if you get physical and there is a turnover, fast break with tons of fast paced action. Now it's no defense, ticky tack fouls, drive to the lane uncontested and 3 point barrages, it's more Euro-trash basketball All Star game level of excitement.
@@puppethoundthey don’t understand. People did want to see scoring, but we wanted to see talented players earn buckets. Not a game that is a complete advantage to the offensive player so anyone can get buckets. And this is why so many players disappear offensively in the playoffs when they allow the game to be more physical, they cannot play under those conditions
@@puppethound You hit the nail on the head. I love a fast break too, but they've essentially ruined it. How many times a game now do you see one guy start a break, then 2 or 3 of his teammates don't even cross the 3 point line?
I can't even watch the games at all anymore. I watch a lot of old basketball from the 80s 90s and 2000s on youtube. I'm watching raptors vs 6ers from 01 right now.
The league is now "Eurotrash" soft and to add: If you don't think shady dealings are going in all of U.S. sports involving referees getting paid under the table for helping certain teams win, then you are naive. Sports, in America, combined, is a billion dollar industry. EVERYONE is involved and has their collective hands in the cookie jar. That's why I just watch it for the entertainment and nothing more.
Still going with the soft label
Well the fun part is that Euroleague is now considered much tougher and tactical advanced to NBA and it was the opposite until around 2010. EL is just the same as before but NBA has developed into a very weak league we're superstars can score vs zero defense and flop around all day
Guys be taking 4 steps and they don’t call it
This podcast is becoming my favorite in terms of NBA content. Love Sheed's takes, hilarious and not so like no cap man!!!
💯💯🔥🔥 the Best out rn ijs
I went to sheed basketball camp at Simon Gratz in 2001 and 2003 good memories. Definitely a Philly legend.
Get rid of defensive 3 seconds. Tighten up on all the traveling. Some guys are getting away with 4 steps after the dribble is picked up.
Anybody 35 & up watches basketball and sees traveling and carrying happening every play and it makes the game hard to watch and harder to respect.
They call fouls for stars until they’re done with them
Realest comment I’ve read..that’s EXACTLY how it go..yo get political and all of a sudden ya scoring average goes down 😂..
Our brother Kyrie recommended a film that contained a few inacurracies about the small cap community and hasn't heard a whistle since🤔🤔
wait.what? If your unspoken conspiracy is to be true then the opposite would happen.
People think the league is more skilled today because more players shoot the ball. This is why we gotta stop letting the nerds influence the game.
I say this all the time homie
One thing that is definitely needed is to keep refs accountable for blown or bad calls. Evaluate them after every game.
Players are breaking records because the league is a lot softer. A player like Embid should not be able to score 70 points in a game. He is a great player, but they're not making him work for it. They weren't making it hard to deny him the ball and you have to give him a couple of hard fouls to take him out of his rhythm.
some of the highlights from the luka game were pathetic. I like him as a player but he's playing nobodies. Kobe was getting triple teams when he put up 81 and it was like game 7 for both teams. Luka (i didnt see any of the highlights for embiid) had it so easy.
The commissioner is too soft/lenient/ liberal
This is the weak ass play that’s to be put out as a result of the commissioner.
Bring Back David Stern!!!
nba has been trash for 10+ years now. need new commissioner too. that dude ruined the NBA with 0 defense 130+ ppg bs
I agree with Rasheed Wallace because the NBA over the years has been a soft league ever since Adam Silver took over from David Stern and they take to many three pointers which doesn't prove you have real talent on the court. And on a side note I have a you tube channel type in Russell Mills May 22, 2017 to find me.
Sheed is 100% correct. Todays game is terrible. I have not watched an entire game in over 10 years.
Sheed subconsciously speaking on Bean with that whistle privilege 😂
No he not. Bean ain't get no privilege. He said Mike and Bron...cause Sheed don't hold his tongue , he said what he meant.
@@inputsandoutputswas Kobe not a superstar? They’re called superstar calls for a reason ALL superstars get them
@@qdakid7776he was but that ain't mean shit...he wanted cp3 and couldn't get him yet kd got to go to gs, harden goes wherever, LeBron can team up with anyone
I been done with the nba since 2015
Yeah for real
I’d stop the ticky tock fouls. I’d take the zone out. I’d stop teams from shooting 30 3pt fgs per night unless you got the splash brothers.
The most important thing is taking the zone out. Going back to strictly man to man would definitely affect the 3pt shooting. And expose the so-called great defenders in this league.
I think 4 point shots would make the game worse lol 😂
The NBA controls the flight of the basketball 🧲🎯
Only the real know it’s true ❗️
Haha. Not yet
Watch how many buzzer beaters are off the glass.... You won't be able to unsee it. The players know.
I preferred to watch when hand check was legal and travelling and carrying were illegal
A full basketball game is unwatchable for me now. I catch the 4th or highlights and stats. I'm not sitting watching a whole game anymore
Facts 💯 Shout out Sheed..always a real one!
Softness is why I stopped watching Football AND Basketball yrs ago. I swear. ❤❤❤❤❤
Hockey is a lot softer also
Agree with Sheed, they definitely made it so easy to score now. Refs too sensitive and they need some of that oldskool defence back. Then u gonna find out who really skilled enough to score 25/30 points in a game. The reason I loved watching in the 80s and 90s because every single player had a different style of play. Nowadays most of the players do the same thing on the court which is so boring to watch. 👍🏽
I could make a much bigger list than that…bring back handchecking, get rid of illegal defense for 3 seconds in the lane, flagrant fouls for offensive players jumping into defenders to draw fouls, start calling actual traveling, etc…
"Start calling carrying again!"...that should be first and foremost.
I could listen to Sheed tell stories all day
🗣The world is a stage 🤯
Sheed might be the most refreshing voice of reason about the modern NBA…never would have guessed that would be the case but here we are.
I grew up watching NBA Friday, TNT on Thursday. Watched every game, no matter who was playing. I haven’t watched an NBA game in 10 years. I would have NEVER believed that if you told me a decade ago.
The NBA is awful now
Refs do what the NBA tell them to do.
He said what I've been saying for years. Why do the superstars need the calls in their favor if they're such great players!? They don't need and shouldn't get the help.
The league wants more 3's because its a magnet in the ball, now they can more easily dictate the game...
They allow the fans who can’t play determine how the game is played.
You mean people who bet? Lol. Yes
@@crungefactory 😆👍🏿
Funny Sheed talking about big men shooting to many 3's, I remember him hanging at the 3pt line for the pistons
All they have to do is enforce the rules already on book...when is the last "carry" you've seen called? last travel? last doubledribble? 3 secs in the lane? they still happen but never get called so offensive players have free reign
Sheed speaking on Lopez is next level basketball IQ
Real Talk Sheed
The thing that makes offence great to watch is when it overrides great defensive.... now its just rubbish! How can they possibly say the offence is superior now a days when there is less resistance! Also, they should bring in no play, no pay, unless its an actual injury soreness is not an injury!
He is right about the superstar call. Lebron and Lakers had 40 more fouls against the raptors
Wamba Wamba 😂😂😂 $hit got me in tears right now haha
The NBA is the most skilled it’s ever been, but it’s also the most basketball ignorant it has ever been when it comes to working as a team. Too much iso and motion offense. They’re basically playing AAU style ball in the pro’s now a days. Shits hard to watch.
It's a myth it's most skilled when no defense is played at all, players being able to score while being handchecked is far more impressive . There is nothing impressive about uncontested shots day in day out in the modern NBA
Time to return all aspects of the game. Eliminate the 3 point play. Make players move into the paint.
@10:17 BRAHHHHHH THANK YOU I BEEN SAYING THIS‼️‼️‼️‼️
The commissioner called and said Rasheed just received 2 flagrant 2 foul for his comments😂😂
Rasheed is the Michael Jordan of whining to the refs. Guy was on the verge of tears 46% of the time he was on the court.
Watching a regular season game seems to have the same level of intensity of an all-star game.
Sheed as comissioner doing what he thinks is best for the game would be perfect for the league. Bring back hand checking!
The worst part is offenses initiating contact and getting fouls. They tried getting rid of it a couple years ago but then stars complained and got their way. Every time I see a player kick his foot out or elbow a defender in the chest and get a call I change the channel.
1. Train the Refs to call games like they did in the 80's and 90's.
2. Make it 8 fouls to foul out instead of 6.
3. Make it 6 secs instead of 3 seconds in the Paint for a violation.
4. Maybe try only allowing 3 pointers in the last 2 to 3 mins of each quarter to encourage more drives to the basket.
5. Teams that are at the #7,8,9 and 10 spot can qualify for the 1st pick in the draft. This will encourage teams to be more competitive and not tank the season trying to get the 1st pick.
The forearm shiver 😂
If they bring back the hand check nobody would drive past Giannas
1) Bring back the physicality.
2) Limit the number of 3 pointers per game or quarter.
3) Bring back hand checking.
4) Force players to stay with the teams that drafted them for a set term to bring back rivalries!
I’d revamp the flopping system… first flop is free. Second flop- 1 game suspension. Third flop- 2 game suspension. Fourth flop- 3 games… and so on. And flops can be reviewable (in case an apparent flop was missed by the refs, OR if a flop was called and film shows it actually was legit contact. Watch how quick that flopping shit stops.
2000 Western confrence finals between Lakers and Portland. Game 7 that was a classic one,
That Portland roster was insane. Talk about a super team. And they choked hard. LOL
I used to couldn't get enough of the nba nowadays I don't watch nba games unless it's my local team.... I used to watch every team on TV back in the day nowadays its so predictable and soft I can't watch that shit.... same for the NFL
Honesty they just need to make officials call the game by the rule book.. for all players! And put hand checking back. Fine officials for really bad obvious calls
We need others other than Rasheed to make statements like this because hearing Rasheed criticize the refs is just business as usual and the average person won’t listen lol. We need others so that it can be taken serious because it’s clear as day the league isn’t the same anymore.
Rasheed you were such a fun player- really miss you and your game. All the respect in the world, you played the game right.
Thank you Rasheed! Giannis has no business taking that 3. Take two steps forward and take that 18ft shot. I’d leave him open every night. If he makes it then he makes it.
Hand checking should never come back. Defend with your feet, not your hands. Refs need to call offensive fouls. Personal cylinders need to be respected on defense *AND OFFENSE!* If the offensive player encroaches on the defender's cylinder, that's an offensive foul. 90% of the time, physical contact is initiated by the *OFFENSIVE* player.
Techs for hanging on the rim ?
Truly ghey that rule is
That right now today at 1:24 brought me back to Kevin Gates. "Kill em right now...today" 😂😂😂
Put the 4-point spots in the paint and see what happens
The league needs to bring back hand checking. It would benefit both sides of the ball and allow athletes be athletes. I’m glad Sheed said it. He would kill even more playing right now. His skills & intelligence are top tier.
The 3 point line should only turn on in the last 2 minutes of the quarter.
That's a great idea
What’s your reasoning?
I don't think the 3 point line is bad as is, but for the integrity of the game if a team is going to chuck up three's all game then maybe they should be punished and have a penalty 3 point line that is moved back and cuts the wings corner shot. I'd give a team 12 three's per half and if they go over move the line back. Once there is say 4 or 5 minutes left in a half then there is no penalty line in which no team is no longer penalized. Also the last 24 seconds of the 1st and 3rd quarters a team 3 pt shot will not go against their shot attempts at three's since a team may have to shoot a near half court shot.
MLB made rule changes to the shift that keeps 2 players to each side of second base. Something that keeps the integrity how the game used to be played for over a century. I think the same thing needs to happen to basketball. Make the 3 point shot strategic for the sharp shooters and that could ultimately bring back the mid range game back.
Gotta make 4s, 5s, 6s and 7's now, depending on the range of the shot.
I believe it when he said the worst tech he got.. I can believe With the league saying it's if anything between them give them all a Tech
Remove the corner 3s as a starting point. Even better, just make it a straight line where the current top of the arc across the court. At that point it would encourage players to drive to the hoop or at least get closer for a 2 point jumper.
The funniest thing about all of this is that it was a struggle to get Rasheed to stay in the post most of his career.
Dude drifted out to the three quite a bit in his day. At a time when that was frowned upon.
If Rasheed played today, he would be out there jacking up 10 threes a game. He knows that and he is butt hurt about it.
I doubt that very much
@@crungefactory whatever.
I watched Rasheed’s career. Coaches and teammates were always imploring him to get to the post (check what Billups had to say about it), yet he floated around the perimeter more than half the game (jacking up threes and swinging the ball).
There is no doubt in my mind that growing up today, and given the green light that is afforded to today’s players, he would take FULL advantage.
Zero doubt in my mind.
He is just a bitter old bird doing his “back in my day” routine.
💯
For a while, Sheed was used as a small foward occasionally when Portland had Brian Grant playing power forward, so Coach Dunleavy encouraged Sheed to shoot some
three pointers when he was a wing. The only time that Sheed really more willing to post up when he was fired up. There were a number of decent power forwards that Sheed had to play against too, so it wasn’t like Sheed was going to get some easy buckets posting up Karl Malone, Tim Duncan, or Kevin Garnett to name a few.
Its the ratio size of the smaller ball and larger rim
He said 4 point spot and broke it down like they not doing that in the Big3..
Bro we need full episode sheed could make this pod bigger than cam and mase
I miss the physicality of the 90s-back. Defense is almost nonexistent and the ticky-tack fouls are awful for the flow of the game.
Only way to bring me back to the nba is if Sheed is the commish
If they let players play without all the bad foul calls.. control
In the game man it’s a lot of players that wouldn’t be as good as we think they are. Also it would show which players that are really better than super stars that were chosen
Great point
I would love to see Sheed as the commissioner. This whole era is like the steroids era of baseball. It needs an asterisk.
4 point line/spots is dumb as hell. Make anything past half court 4 and anything from inside your own 3 point line 5. It will make the final seconds of close games waaaay more interesting and you know guys like Curry and Dame can hit those half court heaves already.
Adding extra lines will just ruin the game because you’re rewarding shots players already take.
The NBA has the right idea with fast pacing but the obsession with running up scores and essentially eliminating defence and certain defensive positions from the game is only hurting the product. People wanna see action, competition, matchups and hard nosed play. 100pts is enough. There’s not some kind of magical fandom that occurs at 150pts.
Right basketball protection program
NBA basketball used to be my favorite sport. I watched every single game, I followed every single player, the product was outstanding. Then somewhere along the line the game changed. I find it unwatchable now and i haven't sat through more than a few minutes of basketball in several years.
MORE than big problems, the NBA flat sucks now. ZERO defence, score at will, officiating is just ridiculous, and walking....oh hell NO. THIS shit is what we are teaching kids????
Guys scoring 75points alot means its SOFT SOFT SOFT. No more refs call own fouls.
When Brooke was with the Nets they played my Rockets and he was too much for Clint to handle in the post.
I feel Sheed on this. I agree with his take. Bring defense back
Real talk. That's why I've stopped watching the NBA in the beginning of 2010's.
