I kept getting picked to play at school because I was tall. Absolutely hated it. Everything you instinctively tried to do resulted in the whistle being blown. The problem seemed to be that there were hardly any legitimate ways of winning the ball back from the opposition, hence the "your turn" "our turn" nature of the sport. Once you've got the ball you tend to keep it until you take a shot, and then the other team just get given it. Not for me Clive.

You got picked when you can't defend or rebound?
How bad was your school team!

the hatred for basketball is strong. I'd like to know how many of those that detest it have actually watched a full game.
They may have watched a full game but I bet they did not have a clue about the rules, fouls, or anything that was going on.
I fully understand snooker, test cricket and baseball but I cannot watch more than 10 minutes of them because it's chuffing boring.
I also watch and fully understand basketball and it's a far more entertaining than those 3 and many other sports.

**AT** school. Not **FOR** school. I've watched a bit of basketball at various times (mostly olympics) but surely you'll admit that there is a very limited amount of tackling?

I always assumed I didn't like basketball based on not very much. For some reason, I ended up watching the whole of the New York - Washington game in London the other night on TV. Thought it was quality and really easy to get into. I'll definitely tune into the odd game on Sky, especially once the NFL season is over and I actually have a bit of spare watching time in the evenings.
Wow, a reasonable opinion after actually watching a game.

Maybe the fans should follow footballs suit and leave before the end

Please, just to put my mind at rest, the explosions you speak of were not of the anal kind due to the three hours of hotdogs, Pepsi and pop corn?

7 foot tall seems to be a common comment.
There are 45 players that played in the NBA this year that are 7'0 or taller, and 514 players have played minutes
So just under 10%.
Average height 6'7.
Just helping out with the education of basketball.

I bet a few on here would like a proper flop rule implemented in the PL.
Played it at school and therefore went to watch Worthing Bears a couple of times at Durrington Leisure Centre. It was immensely dull and twice was enough, and that was for a local team that was doing well at the time. Why I'd want to transport that boredom to watching a couple of teams of giants from Shitkicker Alabama on the telly I've no idea.

I'll agree with you there. Worthing Bears are dull/garbage, as is the whole set up there.
Then again it's about the same level as the 3rd tier in Australian football.
