I also believe college bball is much more fun to watch. No they are not as talented, but in general is much more team oriented. Plus, overall effort is more consistent. These guys are busting their ass to try to get to the next level. They all have something to prove. There are a handfull of NBA teams that personify those traits, but nowadays the NBA seems to really promote individuals rather than teams. Look at the Pistons - the best team over the last two years, and their first round games are subjected to NBA TV. Bron Bron is featured in Prime Time on the major networks in the first round. Because of this, the overall quality of the NBA has suffered.
how the fuck is it fun to watch Duke,UCONN,NC beat a team by 20pts every week.How is NCAA better then NBA when the same schools get the MCdonalds all americans over and over and they leave after 1 year?
He's a great player, and maybe he deserved the two MVP's, but being white definitely helped his cause. Old-school white fans are desperate for something to cheer about in the NBA, most of them have retreated to watching college basketball cause they say it's a "team game".

There's strategy involved, adjustments, etc. And as I've stated in the past, college players are playing to make it into the NBA, which is the ultimate level, which is also why it is pretty ridiculous to say NCAA is better than NBA...PeACe
i feel nash did deserve the MVP. First a MVP player not only plays amazing on the court but makes the players around him better. Proof that Nash does this is Diaw...i mean Diaw's game is on a whole new level ever since he joined the Suns. Second, after Stuadmier got injured people wrote off the suns thinking they lost one of their key players and would no longer make the playoffs but they won their division and came third in the west. Kobe's an AMAZING player dont get me wrong (although his ego ruins him) but all he really did was take 40 shots a game and put up 50 points a night..thats good and all but no players really improved drasticly like a Diaw. People want kobe to be MVP because no one can stop him but basketball is a TEAM game and Kobe is not a TEAM player. That being said...i cannot wait for my Karma to go down

You don't even deserve a response, but for the record, Kobe didn't "really just put up 40 shots and score 50 points a night", he took a team that consists on NBDL players to the playoffs and even brought them to elite status at a point. Diaw would've improved in the Suns system with or without Nash...Nash is an excellent player, don't get me wrong, but he's no 2 time MVP, and we were 1 rebound away from exposing it to the world...PeACe

That's the same as saying Honda's are more exciting to watch race than Ferarri's...I mean, which you prefer is a matter of opinion, but you can't claim college ball is "better", cuz that's just ridiculous...PeACe
