[@thankyouforyourservice5687]

KungPow's Chosen One really I thought basketball was built on the premise of who could put the ball in the hoop. Boxing, football, & mma are sports that are built on physicality. The fact the game isn’t about someone getting hammered in the lane all the time and hard fouls has made the game more fluid and better to me.
