Who here doesn't like other sports nearly as much as the NBA 

Post#1 » by Taiwan Killa » Sat Feb 9, 2008 12:00 am

It seems like people here barely even like the NBA and are mostly NFL or MLB fans. Who here is a diehard basketball fan and doesn't like the other sports nearly as much as basketball?

Basketball for me all day. I'd rather watch paint dry than an NFL game or an MLB game.

I am a die hard basketball fan, trust me. I talk about basketball, play it every day, watch it every night.

I don't know **** about football and baseball to be honest.

Like I said awhile ago: I lost a bet with my girlfriend because I thought the New York football team was called the Jets.

I'm an NBA fan, but primarily a basketball freak in general. I'll happily watch most standards from high school and college hoops to international and NBA hoops.

Bar basketball, I follow football(soccer) and sport in general really, no way near as closely as basketball though.

I have tried countless times to enjoy football and baseball, but I always fail.

I've been in Madden tournaments, watched Superbowls, watched WHOLE baseball games, watched the World Series in a crackhouse in Oakland, watched documentaries on famous Bay Area football players like Jerry Rice, Steve Young, Joe Montana etc.

I still never succeed into getting myself into liking other sports. :(

Basketball all day for me.

I've always loved the "game" of basketball more-so than any other game. Nevertheless, the NBA is starting to smell, in my mind. When teams/owners blatantly collude to tarnish the competitive balance of the league(Pau to the Lakers, for one recent example)...I question whether or not the league is worth following. I guess it is time to go watch some Ivy League ball!

Me. Sometimes I watch a few innings of baseball. NFL the only game I might slightly watch is the Superbowl, but it's more about the commercials for me. It's all about basketball for me.

I have a football sig, but I love the Hawks just as much as the Dawgs/Falcons. I know there are very few people who can claim to be huge fans of the Hawks, Braves and Falcons. No one I know watches the Hawks.

I didn't say baseball is better, but football is better. That doesn't change anything I said in this thread.
