I hate the Charge. Its weak defense rewarded. Its dangerous and it takes away athletic plays from the game. Its really just chump defense for non athletic people. How is jumping under someone going for a layup defense?

A charge should be when someone tries to run you over, not you trying to make them run you over.

I also hate when fouls are called and the defenders arms are straight up in the air, but the offensive player throws his arms against yours.

Pathetic.

I hate defensive and offensive goaltending rule in NBA which involves "above the cylinder" definition. No refs being on the floor can ever get it right so why even have it? Do it as in FIBA and let the players swap ball of the rim or dunk/tip it. Would make game way more exciting instead of watching that ball rolling or bouncing on the rim until it either drops in the basket or out.
