  Which element of today’s game is most infuriating to you as a fan? &nbsp;And why? <br>(Ex: Flopping, 3-Pointers, Management, Mental Toughness, etc.)

  You know it’s bad when Ray Allen isn’t a fan of all the threes being shot

  The travelling, carrying, and dishonest foul baiting ruined the game more than the three. Threes would go down if we called more carries and travels. The step backs and shuffling allowed is insane today. It’s like we’re not playing the same game anymore.

  I honestly miss the battles in the paint. NBA used to be a really physical sport. Now it&apos;s just a glorified 3 point contest.

  Definitely more of a fan of the David Stern era than the Adam Silver era.

  &quot;Bigs don&apos;t have a place in the game anymore&quot; never thought I&apos;d hear that about my once beloved sport

  It&apos;s almost impossible to stay in front of guys the way they can carry the ball. &nbsp;Not to mention that traveling is not longer a violation.

  &quot;Gather step&quot; has ruined the game too. When you are able to take 3 to 6 steps forwards and backwards without having to put the ball on the floor, the game gets watered down. The midrange game no longer exists as a result cuz you&apos;re able to run back to the 3pt line or all the way to the rim without putting the ball on the floor.

  Ray is absolutely correct, and I truly miss fundamental basketball no longer played in the NBA.

  The last 5 years of the NBA has been insufferable with all the 3 point chucking, lack of a post-up offense, constant traveling, and refs dominating every aspect of a game. I miss the 90s/2000s NBA so much. I used to watch every Laker game every season, in addition to the big rivalry match-ups for other teams. Now, I may watch 2-3 games an entire season.

  Everyone shooting 20 threes, flopping to get to the line, carrying the ball while trying to cross someone over and its never called, &nbsp;the step back not being called traveling etc.

  Ray Allen had a beautiful jump shot. Perfect form.
