Former EuroLega star with a very long past at Maccabi Tel Aviv, Tyrese Rice, had harsh words after watching last night’s NBA games.
Tyrese Rice published a couple of posts on X, arguing that it is difficult to watch current NBA basketball.
“The NBA is so difficult to watch, yet I sit here and give it a try.” Rice wrote. “Shots without construction. Complaints on EVERY possession. No physicality in the game. Stars never foul but shoot a lot of free throws. There is never a steady game. Just a bunch of super-talented guys who are skilled at throwing the ball inside the basket.”
NBA is so hard to watch and yet I sit here and make the attempt. Wild shots. Complaining on EVERY possession. No physicality in the game. Stars never foul but shoot hella FTs. No set plays ever. Just a bunch of super talented and skilled guys being talented and skilled.

After it was pointed out to him that the NBA is like that, Tyrese Rice agreed but replied that it was not always like that.
“I know, man, but it hasn’t always been this way. The NBA is like wrestling now. Just entertainment.”, Rice replied.
I know dawg but it wasn’t always like that. NBA is wrestling now. Only entertainment.
