I have said for years that the goal in the pros is to low. It is the same height as when i played in elementary school.
It should be:
k-12 = 10 feet
College = 11 feet
Pro = 12 feet
When half the players can stand flat footed and dunk where is the challenge?
Especially when a shot can't be blocked on the downward arc.
I have tried for years to watch the NBA both in person and on TV and found it mostly boring. The NFL used be watchable but with all the political claptrap and now the "games" are all commercial breaks with talking heads doing analysis and interviews they have become boring. Olympic coverage is the same, all interviews with almost no coverage. Baseball has always been slow in TV, there is virtually no college coverage of anything but football & basketball and the formats are the same as the pros=boring. Televised sports is a waste of time, If I want to see a baseball game I now go to the game, I will never again go to an NFL game as the live fans are treated like dog poo and the NBA is just as boring live as on TV(worse when the game is not televised as the players walk not run down the floor)
The truly tragic part of Lebron's death is the youth he got killed taking them on a non weather rated helicopter. ( both the pilot nor the helicopter were rated not to fly in those conditions)

I watched the first quarter and it was pretty much a three point shooting, slam dunking, no defense, no effort game so I watched a movie instead.
I was at my brother's house and we only watched the first-half then watched "Ford vs Ferrari" movie - pretty-good movie.
