FIBA games flow so quickly while NBA games seem move at a crawl to the point that games are now taking about 3 hours to finish. fiba also more physical than the NBA and players seem to be allowed to play that way a lot more than the NBA (the nba has become a sissy league if you ask me :) I would love the nba to learn a few things from fiba and make their play as exciting and fast (also, the WNBA can learn a thing or 2 from the uniforms worn by the Aussi women....DAAAAMN....but can you imagine what would happen to someone in the US if they suggested that the WNBA players wear those kind of uniforms :)

FIBA style is more like Euro style, which is what Phoenix Suns are playing right now

I like how a technical counts as a personal foul.

Too much complaining in the NBA. Whether it is called for or not, the complaining should be done by the coaches and not the players.
