college basketball.
The college game is better. There are almost as many ways to operate at the college level as there are Division I teams: zone, man-to-man, fullcourt pressure, fast break, walk-it-up. The 35-second shot clock allows time for offenses to develop through more than one or two passes. NBA players have time for one quick action, and if it doesn't work, they force up an ugly shot.
College basketball players live for the moment, and play every game with as much enthusiasm, heart, and passion. Perhaps it is their sense of discovery or purpose as young, budding players that make them hit the floor, make the sharp cuts, and dance uncontrollably when their teammate hits that floater to create that improbable upset. Stories are defined and created in a single game, reputations earned or destroyed with a buzzer beater, and dynasties created through established traditions.

College by far. Pro basketball is too much like a job. They play hard in the playoffs and play for show during the season. I usually watch the finals of the NBA playoffs and as many college games as i reasonably can. Also, i am sick of the bending of the rules in the NBA. It used to be in the NBA that making the playoffs meant more money that most of the players needed. Now it is nothing to them. The college kids just winning is enough for most of them.

College, since there is more parity. Plus, the one-loss-and-you're-done atmosphere of the NCAA Tourney brings out the passion in the players and coaches much better than the series structure of the NBA playoffs. These kids play like their lives are on the line, the NBA guys just show up for their checks most of the time.

NBA, because the pace is much faster and in college a 3 pointer isn't even challenging since it's much closer to the basket. In college, there is also a big gap in talent between different schools, so the scheduling isn't as balanced. Even the worst teams in the NBA still have NBA caliber players, while in college you might have a team with Division II caliber talent playing a Division I team.

I've grown up watching the NBA because my dad does. In college, though i guess there's more "action," I find it's too hard to follow because there are so many teams and players have a max tenure of 4 years.
In the NBA superstar's careers are usually much longer, but I must admit NBA was more interesting in the Jordan era.

I like college a little better, but i like them both. Whoever says NBA players are not that good is crazy, Mike Redd just hit 52 tonight.....8 3's........And most college players play to play, and for some pride. But some, prolly got some money anyway just to play at certain schools, and are playing to get into the NBA.... which is for money ......and not so much pride. Even though i like to watch Lebron dunk on people like they are little girls, march madness is the ****. So college hoops edges out the NBA by a little bit.

i admire the two yet for various motives. college Basketball has plenty pastime I mean the followers bypass flippin loopy for issues like as you point out buzzer beaters and issues. Plus i in my view like the full journey format. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, with the NBA you're watching the main proficient basketball gamers interior the worldwide carry out a little dazzling issues. So i admire the two fairly, i won't be able to fairly p.c.. one over the different

I prefer college basketball 1)as it's more about the game; 2)there aren't that many egos evident in the college game as there are in professional basketball; 3)DEFENSE is actually played rather paid "lip service".
HEART is the difference between those who ATTEMPT and those who ACHIEVE.

I like college basketball better because it is faster pace and more fun to watch.

College Basketball - why? The players seem more appreciative of their wins... seem to have more heart... haven't been corrupted by money yet, lol!
