I’m a relatively new fan within the last few years. Jokic completely changed what watching the game was like for me

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.

I used to like it, but its overwhelmingly boring to watch nowadays. I think when played how it should be, there’s so much creativity and style that can be added to the sport, and so many ways to dominate.

I don’t. I only come here to make insults.

Watched like Mike as kid

Old school mentality is picking a team with at least a moderate connection to you and sticking with it for life

New school mentality is picking favorite players and following them more specifically

I will always be a Lakers fan cause it’s where I’m from and grew up watching them but I dislike the management and team choices they’ve made up until being on JJ as coach 🙌🙌

But I always thought the beauty of being a sports fan is the loyalty to the team and the comradery that bring

Basketball specific though is more of a skill and rhythm sport than most others and where a single individual has the highest chance of changing the entire game.

Besides being a fan there’s not to many to many sports you can just go down to your local park/gym and play and make new friends along the way as well

I’m 53 and I have loved basketball as long as I can remember. I was 6’1” in 7th grade and the game was different then so they never really taught me how to dribble, they just put me under the basket. I stopped growing so career was over after my sophomore year of high school.

I followed the college game, not a big NBA guy. I’ve never lived in an NBA market. had a son and he got my obsession with the game. He’s now 23 and has been my best friend since he came out of my wife’s womb. He loved the Thunder so that got me interested in them. I remember him calling me crying hysterically(he was 14) while I was at work the day KD signed with the Warriors. We stuck with OKC, bought League Pass every year and loved Russ.

He’s moved out, has a great job and we still love the Thunder and share a League Pass subscription. We find a weekend every year when the Thunder are at home on a Friday/Sunday, take an annual trip to OKC(8 hour drive) to go to two games. Best weekend of the year for me.

I also have season tickets to my Alma mater so I still follow college too.

Imo it has the best mix of individual & team play of any sport. You have to play both offense and defense, adjustments have to be made on the fly.

Stephen Curry

It was always my favorite sport to play growing up.

I love how it’s the sport that is most affected by a singular player, in the sense one guy can drag a roster to different levels.

I also think it’s a beautiful blend of strength and athleticism. It’s hard to appreciate on TV but (from experience playing against some people) and going to games live, I think basketball players are some of the most insane athletes in the world.

On top of all that, the NBA is one of the most active leagues in terms of players being petty af which is always hilarious.

God I love basketball. LETS GO SEASON HURRY UP

I like slam dunks, ballhandling, tough shots and personalities like Anthony Edwards or Ja Morant.

The sound the net makes on a swish.
