Just curious to see how you look at the sport if you actually played it. I feel like those who played would be less critical because they understand how difficult it can be on a much smaller level, let alone the pros. But maybe I’m wrong about that so just wanted to see how you guys see it.

I never played competitive ball but I feel like I’m super critical of the Lakers. Then again, when it comes to the Lakers, I feel like everyone is super critical unless they win a title.

    Yeah but that’s because, compared to the average fan (particularly ones who haven’t played), I’m more aware of what does and doesn’t work in basketball

    So if a Point Guard has a bad game, for example, one fan might blame the Point Guard for not having enough assists, I may say take a look at it and say “Oh, he started shot hunting when his teammates weren’t hitting open jumpers, instead of setting his teammates up for layups instead.”
