I get the NBA hate even though its retarded. But if you love the WNBA you need to go to a camp in Western China
I'm fine with this take though I disagree about the NBA.The NBA has turned into hot trash. And no, Women's CBB and the WNBA aren't any better. Men's CBB regular season is slightly higher on my list to watch than the NBA, but not by much. March Madness however, that's right up there with the Super Bowl for me.
Basketball has been ruined by analytics and the 3-point line. The ratings don't lie. Watching each team chuck 40 threes a game is boring.

I could care less about their political stances, unlike many people. The product itself is an eyesore.

The 2002 Dallas Mavericks led the league in scoring with 103.1 ppg. This year, the lowest scoring team in the league scored 103.8 ppg. The league has become a joke.

Eh, the basketball was bad back then. Two guys 6’10” or taller mucking it up in the paint and 6’6” shooting guards going 7-20 mostly on tough mid range jumpers.
It’s better now than it was in 2002.

The ONLY reason to watch women's CBB is to scout out the hotties like Skylar Diggens. And then hope they fuck up and post nude pics.
Other than that boooooring.

Disagree. There is almost no post presence in the game anymore. Also, much less attacking the paint to finish thanks to analytics that say shoot 40 threes a game and hit 33% of them and you're probably a point ahead. Watching a game where the ball going in the basket one out of three times is better than one out of two times is ass backwards.
The players also have given up on playing defense. Personally, I prefer to watch a challenge for both sides and elite athletes doing very athletic things. I also don't like video game football, though, so what the hell do I know?

There is a post presence except that the combination of size and skill plus passing ability is too hard to find. I can think of 4 centers off the top of my head that can do it effectively but that's about it.
To your point, defense is non existent except for the top teams because of the bullshit foul calls. If you aren't altering someone's shot/slash it shouldn't be a foul. Touching someone's wrist/shoulder/whatever shouldn't be a foul.
There is seemingly 3-4 teams with enough size and skill to play at both ends with the current rules. Everyone else is undersized and has to get hot shooting.
