I have often wondered about what people see in it too. The games seem to all be decided in the last couple minutes. Why watch all the rest? Bow that the first two minutes really sucks, there is even less reason to watch any of it.
It just baffles me what people see in basketball. On the other hand, I love baseball, I love all the strategy that is constantly going on, you also have to be smart to be a good baseball player because you are often making split-second decisions about what to do, especially once the ball is hit. And yet people say baseball is boring. . . .
