Does anyone watch the NBA anymore?
 
It seems like everywhere I go the NBA isnt a hot comodity. Whenever I get into a convorsation about basketball with someone, they always say college is better than NBA. Whats up with that? My favorite team is the Cavaliers. Anyone else watch NBA basketball?

I live in Joisey. Who would you watch - the Knocks or the Nyets?

I use to love the NBA. That was years ago, when they were real professionals playing the game.
I wish it could be the NBA of the 70's and 90's again with the likes of Frazier, Chmberlain and West and so many others we could truly idolize.
Today, it is a joke of overpaid thugs.

I watched the NBA religiously as a kid, and idolized those guys along with Willis Reed, Elgin Baylor, Pete Maravich, John Havlicek, Bob Love, Chet Walker, Kareem, Dave DeBusschere, etc, etc, etc....

This is the reason I haven't given the NBA a second look since David Robinson retired. :2

I might watch the NBA around playoff time. My 2 favorite teams are: Orlando Magic (When I played basketball in grade school, I wore Shaq's number. I have loved the magic since 5th grade.) and the Cleveland Cavaliers (Lebron is a beast)

The downfall of the NBA playoffs is that its a 7 game series and loses the interest of the public. Not me though, the longer the season the better is how I see it. But I wasnt alive to witness the better days of chamberlain and ewing, bird, magic, and whatnot so I dont even know what im missing out on.

Re: Does anyone watch the NBA anymore?
 
I remember the great matchup of the Magic vs. the Bulls. It was great watching Penny Hardaway and Shaq vs. Michael Jordan

When I was in 6th grade, my dad's buddy got us tickets to see the Magic vs. Bulls in Chicago. We had 5th row seats. I was the Magic fan obviously and they were the Bulls fans. Man, I will never forget that weekend.

I know what you mean, I'm also a Raptors fan and we get seats in the way upper level, so theres more nutty people up there you would think. I was the only Raptor fan up there and I dont keep quiet to say the least. My friends actually tell me that Im the loudest person they've met, so lets just say me and the Bulls fans didnt get along too well lol. I couldnt imagine a playoff game though, I can see it getting physical then, because my experience was mighty close to getting physical. Haha im there to have a good time and these people are lookin to kill ya! :r

Yup, big fan of NBA but bigger fan of college ball. Been a GSW fan since I was a kid.

Not a fan at all. I'll watch NCAA early in the year into March Madness because the kids actually play like they give a damn.

I am not a fan of basketball at all. Can't stand to watch it, especially the NBA.

Born and raised Clevelander here holding season tickets.... needless to say, I watch NBA BBall... hard to believe,.... LBJ what (go browns too.... right)

Still a witness, after all the hype was proven.

Any sport where a team score 100 points is ridiculous. I have never had any interest in basketball at any level.

I really envy you for holding cavs season tickets! wow I could only imagine how nice that must be. How many home games per year do you usually attend? I got a friend who is a Bulls season ticket holder and they go to about half the games.

yeah, i wont make it to more than 10 games this season. we sell quite a few to people who have never seen the phenom that is the Cavs.

Hog, i was simply saying that he is amazing to watch. By all means, opinions vary! Of couse! :tu

There is no arguement that LeBron is an exciting player to watch, love him or hate him.

Not knocking the NBA, but I don't watch it. Never have. I'll stick with baseball, football, NASCAR, and pro wrestling.

No doubt Lebron is a force, Bobby.

My comment was aimed towards "the physicallity of bsketball is amazing". ;)

Not sure anymore. All the good ol' boys are gone. I pull for M. Waltrip, J. Gordon (sometimes), Jr., and any of the old boys who come back for a race or two, such as Bill Elliott and Sterling Marlin.

Other than Gordon, I don't seem to pull for many winners...:hn

You bet your a$$ I did!!!!!!! Been a fan even since I could walk. I saw Magic retire cause of his "disease" and I was a die hard Van Exel, Eddie Jones, Cedric Ceballos, Vlade fan back in the day and it just so happens that my boys are loaded this year. Should be a fun playoffs!!!!!

Oh I can respect that. In it thick and thin, not like alot of the fairweather fans that come crawling out of the woodwork when they spot a stacked team and just jump on their bandwagon. If Artest can refrain from falling down any more sets of stairs the Lakers are almost unbeatable.

Ya it's tough being a SoCal born and raised guy. I have to deal with all the bandwagoners in Basketball and USC Football.(We'll except for this year , we might have dropped a few fans) It's all good, what can you do?

Well you could always beat them off your bandwagon with a flaming torch, but I dont know if thats even legal these days.
