Would you watch it if you didn't grow up playing it? Something in particular that excites you about it or keeps you interested???

[Danny Gunz]

I dont watch it a whole lot, but the raw physical talent in the professional level is amazing to watch. But thats what highlights are for too.

Finally a topic pinoys and blacks can unite in unison upon.

the free throws...nothing more exciting when a team commits their 5th team foul with 7mins left in the quarter and every whistle means FTs

[-The Glove-]

Don't watch it so much anymore but the raw athleticism, the beauty of designed plays, alley oops, etc. It used to be exciting to see. Now there's too much divas in the game. Too many breaks in play, too many weak fouls called. No emotions otherwise it's a tech. But this year I've been watching a lot more thanks to Blake Griffin, D-Rose, Durant and the other young gunners.


That's the long answer. The simple one is I grew up playing and watching.

When a team commits a 3 second violation or when there is a foul every 30 seconds everytime down the court. it's a sensationalism..it's what the regulars call foulgate..

Now there's too much divas in the game.

This is what I notice. Every team seems to be centered around 1 player.
