Rice made a couple of posts on X, claiming it's difficult to watch the current NBA basketball.

"NBA is so hard to watch, and yet I sit here and make the attempt," Rice wrote. "Wild shots. Complaining on EVERY possession. No physicality in the game. Stars never foul but shoot hella FTs. No set plays ever. Just a bunch of super talented and skilled guys being talented and skilled."

After being noted that this is what the NBA is, Rice agreed but responded that it wasn't like that all the time.

"I know, dawg, but it wasn't always like that. NBA is wrestling now. Only entertainment," Rice responded.

"I'm convinced dudes in the league are told not to pass on fast breaks," Rice added.

Throughout his career, Rice played for such teams as FC Bayern Munich, Maccabi Playtika Tel Aviv, FC Barcelona, and Panathinaikos Athens, among others.

He became EuroLeague champion and EuroLeague Final Four MVP while claiming EuroCup trophy, EuroCup Finals MVP, and EuroCup regular season MVP in 2015.
