I have a genetic defect- I can't stand to watch basketball games. The absolute stupidest sport ever invented, even worse than foosball. I understand that there are folks who enjoy watching these guys (or gals) running back and forth bouncing a big round ball and occasionally throwing it into a modified peach basket, but the whole thing escapes me. Sorry.
If the NBA went out of business tomorrow, I wouldn't know about it unless someone told me. Never watch, don't care.
Not a popular attitude in Alaska, where thousands of short people play basketball as their ONLY sport- but popularity is not a big thing with me.
Fun to play, awful to watch, although I do like the NCAA basketball tournament.
