i would say college the NBA has better players although they dont pass the ball as much and dont get each other fired up plus when there down by a lot they pritty much give up and just put there heads down and instead of using plays they freestyle it. college players are much better team players for one they pass the ball for two they listen to there coach and three they keep each other fired up and dont put there heads down untill the end. And they use plays.


I think that the answer is simple: NBA.

It has to be the NBA because in college players are all being ball hogs so they can get points and make it to the NBA. In the NBA, the pass. Players there have...well...they've already gotton their wish and now their goal is to win a championship which involves teamwork.

Another reason is because in the NBA, players could be on the same team for 10 years or more. By then, they will get to know everybody on the team. In college, players only have 3-4 years to bond. Some really good players might only have 1-2. By only having a certain number of years and a certain number of games, they don't have as much of a time to get to know each other.


i clearly disagree

Through Games 01/13/2008

1 David Arseneault, Grinnell HT 6-2 pos Gaurd assits 121 APG 12.1
2 Corey McAdam, Nazareth HT. 6-2 pos Gaurd assits 121 APG 9.3

now theres two college players with the most assits from december 16 to the 13 of jan now i will compare that to NBA Gaurd steve nash. now steve nash has had 55 assits and 17.1 PPG through games 01/13/2008 he has the most assits right now in the NBA and that dosint even comeclose to my guys and u said they try to score more in college well steve AVG more points per game then them so i think i just proved you wrong in that catagory.

NBA teamwork is much more better than College teamwork. You are pretty much saying that a college team could beat an NBA team because isn't teamwork whats the game all about? Yes. These are proffesionals, they are better at teamwork than amatures.

My last reason is that NBA players, well, good ones at least, can average, maybe, 7-10 APG? And what do college players get, like 5-7? I believe that NBA players get more assists than college players so, obviously, there is more teamwork in the NBA.

the nba is nothing but a series of one on one drills.. with theexception of very few teams and players (nash, paul, kidd...) college is people playing the game helping eachother and playing with purpose..

This isn't really close in my opinion. Over all there is much more teamwork in college. Most NBA teams are all 1 on 1. It is starting to get a little better. Dawgee you said guys have reached the NBA and now want a championship? Most guys are out to get paid once they make it. And how many groups of players do you see staying together for 10 years? Your last point is pretty bad. Assists don't project the level of teamwork, plus NBA guys are playing more minutes, with a shorter shot clock. Look at the average points scored for both levels of teams, its not that close.
