I have very little interest in basketball as a sport. I find the application of the rules extremely frustrating.

Traveling is almost never called, a offensive player charging to the net can mow down defensive players, and they receive a foul for being in the way, brush someone's shoulder when they are shooting and it's a foul, but players in the lane without the ball are draped all over each other, and then all the intentional fouls in the last couple minutes dragging out the end of the game for what seems like eternity. Yet, they say intentionally fouling is not permitted.
