Cant imagine how anyone can like soccer, not much of an NBA fan, but really like the fact that he is going back to his (more or less) hometown.

A lot of NBA guys are big soccer fans, Kobe, LeBron, Kevin Garnett. Garnett and Didier Drogba are very good friends. Since basketball and soccer players are international celebrities, and seem to know each other off the court and pitch, there is a lot of mutual respect between them.

Is this really news? Don’t really care about pro sports and the ilk that sucks up to them.

He’s right, but who gives a flying fiddler’s fart about soccer either?

Soccer, football, the squeak-squeak game, baseball, Who Gives A Rat’s A__?

They’re ALL children’s games, PLAYED by allegedly adult men.

Watching the kids play is far more entertaining, and you don’t have to sell your firstborn’s birthright to watch a game, either.

Professional sports suck. Out loud.

We're talking an event that in its final game that may have a worldwide television audience approaching two billion people if you include mass participation viewing. Given that soccer is the world's most popular spectator sport (nothing else even comes close), that two billion TV audience surprises no one.

But really, who cares about the NBA other than ESPN and ABC? So in that sense he’s right. Also since the World Cup is a quadrennial event, yes it’s bigger.

The NBA is fading because the idiots in charge allowed the black racial bigots to take it over and this move started with his Highness Michael Jordan. I personally don’t care how they think or who they dislike and all that, but I would like to see the phony NBA down to about where it belongs in popularity, next to MSNBC or something.

Poverty is bigger than the NBA finals because it is world-wide. So is prostitution, because it is world-wide.

Kind of a banal statement. But hey, he is an NBA player.

The NBAplayers who will be at the match would have an excellent chance of winning the NBA championship if they were on the same team.
