Excerpt
Nobody cares. Nobody is interested in professional basketball. The NBA can't even get its championship on prime time television. How can a sport be so popular at the amateur level and be just the opposite at the professional level? One major reason is the fact that, although both college and professional players call the game they play basketball, the two are not the same game at all.
