I’m a new basketball fan, trying to get into the sport, watching nba games and stuff, and as someone who’s completely new to the sport I’d like to know what you love about the game?
Do you watch for specific players? Specific teams? Why’d you choose to support your team?
As someone with no attachment, I’m finding it hard to choose a team to support. I don’t want to just choose the best, and don’t want to just choose the team I live near… I want to find a team I enjoy watching and supporting.
There’s many things I like about basketball, but the one that always draw me in is that it’s the one common thread that ties the father-son bond I have with my dad. We both follow sports (mainly football, basketball, and baseball) but basketball has brought us the best overall experiences. No matter how long we go in between talking or seeing each other due to life happening, we always bring the conversation back to whatever is currently happening in basketball, specifically the NBA. My son hasn’t caught the basketball bug just yet (he’s 11 and really isn’t into sports like I was at his age) but I hope he also comes around to enjoy it too.
