Im a lifelong basketball fan but I can understand why people dont like it. All the foul calls and three point shooting gets annoying. The regular season can be a drag but the playoffs are usually always fire.

I loved it when I was a kid. Now, I honestly just follow too many sports to keep up with anything else. About the only basketball I watch is college and only because I've been a lifelong UK fan.

I like basketball, but it's second to hockey as far as excitement goes.

  • Most of the teams don't matter because they don't have a generational talent on their team to attract better players.
  • Because most of the teams don't matter, the regular season is chock full of filler games.
  • Too many freethrows, refs call shooting fouls on minimal or no contact consistently. Players flopping/faking fouls is rewarded too often.
Playoff time can be fun, but the regular season just feels like one long warm up and is boring for 95% of it.

I don't like watching sports because I'm just watching guys who are richer than me and bang hotter girls than me

Unless it's women's sport, now that I love.

I used to watch NBA and NFL as a kid, but as an adult with a job I knew one had to go.

NBA was haphazard, came on unpredictable days, and too many days.

NFL came on Sunday A day off usually, and barely Monday and then Thursday now.

Im a guy who prefers structure, so NFL won out and I stopped watching NBA for like 17 years now.

It isn't really a team sport; one player has too much pull on game outcomes.

Been a Lakers fan all my life. I was a Kobe Stan never really been a fan of Bron. Once Kobe retired basketball wasnt the same but once he died I lost interest.

I used to watch a ton and post on the NBAB all the time but its just not the same now. Every year theres one or two super teams and you can often predict how the season will play out before it even starts.

League needs more parity.

There is no parity in basketball. You have the superstar big market teams that will ALWAYS be good. They leave them in the dust to pick up scraps.

I will preface this with the fact that I'm a big basketball fan, and watch it as often as my schedule allows...

Taking all the "Buy an all star team" and putting it aside, and just looking at basketball as a sport, the detractors that say "Tune in when there's two minutes left, and if either team in within 10, watch the rest. Otherwise the game is most likely already decided" kinda rings true.

It's one of the few sports where the most important part of the game, and most of the drama, is in the end 95% of the time. Compared to the other "Big 4" (or Big 5 if you want to count soccer) where the most important play could arguably be at any time, basketball is usually sometime in the 4th quarter.

And the times that is isn't, it's usually because a team will go on a scoring run and then coast the rest of the game.

I really dislike how only a handful of superstars and the teams that they're on matter.

IMO, it is the best sport you can watch on TV

No other sport has the better highlights than the NBA from nice dunks, to nice layups, nice shot blocks, and more

Bullshit. Today's NBA is all flopping and whining.

I can tell people saying flopping dont watch ball. There was a ton of flopping until last year when refs stopped calling those. They call it more like FIBA now.

Theres still flopping but I wont knock the NBA when theres clear improvement there.

As long as theres no favoritism why does it matter? I doubt youre watching to see fundamental basketball.
