Basketball would be a lot more interesting if they raised the net three or four feet higher. What challenge is there in jumping up and dropping the ball through the net? Okay you have to be able to dribble the ball too. But they always just run the last half dozen steps to the net thing before they jump up and drop the ball through.

The oddest thing is that the guys who simply jump up and drop the ball through seem to get paid more than the guys who have to throw it at the net and make it go through.
