Why NBA is better than College Basketball (but College Football is better than NFL)

Passion and effort makes college sports compelling. The drama created by the players’ love of the sport draws us to watch and cheer. But it can’t carry college basketball past the NBA.
College basketball is vastly inferior game compared to the NBA game. Players are smaller, slower, and far less skilled. This makes college basketball a bag of Skittles. The individual effort and passion are there, but there’s not enough skill and the talent for it to be more than the sum of it’s parts like Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream.
For example, the Lakers play one of the most beautiful offenses ever, and no college team can match the ball and player movement of their triangle offense. The Hornets run the Princeton offence with precision and control no college team can match. Even the rag-tag Warriors (who’s offensive strategy is to just chuck it) can out-run, out-gun, and out-create the best college teams. The lowly Warriors, or even the Clippers would easily rack up 140 points on best college teams.
And the Warriors and the Clippers would actually be able to stop college teams from scoring. College players play defense with a lot more passion and effort than the pros do, but they are not as effective. As John Wooden said “don’t mistake activity for progress.” And it shows in rookie mistakes, like when they miss a rotation or fail to help. Many of them are not even decent pick and roll defenders, and they should have been taught to say not over-commit when putting pressure on the ball but many rookie big men do.
NBA basketball is simply more effective on both offense and defense. Now I would argue that this is true in football too, but the effectiveness of the NFL game works against it. In football, the proportion of (observable) unplanned event is much smaller than basketball. Effectiveness of the NFL lowers that proportion to the point where it becomes too predictable and not as much fun. That’s why college football is better than the NFL. But the proportion of unplanned event is much greater in basketball in general. The effectiveness of the NBA game limits it enough to highlight those moments of creativity.
Players like LeBron, Steve Nash, D-Wade, and Chris Paul would be far less entertaining to watch in college game. They won’t be able to play at the highest level because the players around them are not as good. They won’t be able to showcase their talents because the offenses and defenses are simpler. They won’t even be allowed to create as much because college coaches tend to over coach. And we would have to watch fewer possessions because the shot clock is 10 seconds too long. Passion and effort is good, but not good enough to overcome inferior product, especially that idle 10 seconds at the beginning of every possession.
