Hyperstyles, that is precisely why I prefer college basketball. You watch a group of guys who play as a team and obey their coach. I hate the NBA parade of prima donnas. The owners [[not saying this is true of Gores yet; its too soon) cave into their highly paid brats rather than rein them in. Chuck Daly would not have tolerated it. Might also be the reason some college coaches [[I'm thinking Tom Izzo) steer clear of the NBA: they want to coach basketball, not navigate bullshit.
Not all NBA teams are like that, and besides, there are prima donnas in every sport.
