The play-off competition is now ugly, and the commercial league NBA has no lower limit.
In the NBA (National Basketball Association), the competition between teams is no longer just a matchup on the court, but also a conflict of business interests. Recently, a play-off game in which the Warriors beat the Rockets has once again raised questions about the commercialization of the NBA. This game is not just a collision of sports competition, but more like a game of commercial interests, exposing that the NBA, a commercial league, has lost some of its sportsmanship and the essence of fair play.
In this play-off game, the Warriors' behavior of suppressing the Rockets has caused widespread controversy. There have been reports of some commercial interest-driven forces trying to manipulate match results in order to maintain the image and commercial status of the teams they support. This kind of commercialization not only undermines the fairness of the game, but also hurts the feelings of the fans. Spectators would rather see a real game than manipulation and interference by commercial forces.
The ugly side of the play-offs is yet another reminder that the NBA, a business league, has gradually lost respect for sportsmanship. The excessive pursuit of commercial interests has led to the emergence of some unfair acts and practices, which not only hurt the fairness of the game, but also damaged the image and credibility of the NBA as a sports league. It's crucial for the NBA to revisit the degree of commercialization and return to the essence of sports. Otherwise, it will further erode the trust and support of fans for the league.
