From the UK and I’ve been following basketball casually for a couple years now, football for me has been declining during that time and while I was previously a fanatic I barely find myself watching matches now, I think the game has become too robotic etc etc. Following the NBA vaguely for a couple years now despite what some people say about the finals the league looks like a really fast paced, competitive sport loaded with talent.
Timezones seem to be an issue, I stay up until 6 usually on the weekends to hack American UFC times and I really don’t think I’m able to do that sport of thing day in and out for basketball. Not sure how this affects who I might choose to support, if its 1am sort of times I might be alright but I generally have to get up at 6am for work.
Watching basketball this olympics has been a good insight I think into how the sport is right now. I’m kind of making this post to wonder if anyone can give me any pointers or brush up any concerns I might have or why they support their team (outside of just being local) or even just ask some questions to someone about the NBA from an outside perspective
You might want to pick a West Coast team. Most of their weekday games tip off around 03:30 your time (varies a bit) and just about wrap up by your normal wakeup time.
Yeah shit, kind of singled them off in my mind even though I think they look like the more fun teams to watch
