I'm not a big NBA fan. I didn't grow up playing basketball, so the game doesn't strike the same chords for me as hockey or baseball.
Nonetheless I'll watch it if nothing else is available.
Occasionally I'll peek past the computer screen and get hypnotized with the artistry and flash of it. It is by far the toughest aerobic workout you'll ever have if you ever play against
good players.
But I don't love it the same way I love the perfectly struck soccer ball or the slapshot that crashes across the rink at 6:00 a.m.
