Basketball sucks.

[Wi-Golfer]

Title pretty much spells it out, hate the game.

No real reason for this thread other than I felt like getting that out in the open.

Lemme guess... you're like 6'4" and couldn't jump over a phone book.

Love College Basketball, hate Pro Basketball.

+1, I'd rather watch college b'ball any day. I'll come closer to watching Women's College B'ball than the pro's.

I also enjoy college, but Pro is like a Soap Opera to me. That and we just blew out BYU.

Is BYU's mascot Norman the Mormon?

well.. more like can tolerate college basketball... loath pro basketball. I generally just watch the final four and the finals in the college tourney.

I like both. I stayed away from Pro-Basketball for a little while but now back into it. I watch college a lot more during the NCAA tournament. Now hockey, forget it, I'd rather watch fcking soccer. I just can't relate to hockey, never played it.

I played basketball in highschool, but I cant stand to watch it on TV.

College can get boring, so I prefer probasketball, because it is just superior in every way.

Close, used to be 6'3" but age is creeping up & have compressed to 6'2". Used to be able to get my wrist over the hoop when in high school but couldn't ever actually dunk the ball. Now i'm lucky if I could grab a 9' high rim.

College basketball is ok, Pro sucks and I won't watch it nor do I keep up with it.

Baseball really sucks.

Hockey and soccer are great sports to watch at any level!!

Fixed it for ya!

High school basketball has its charms. Beyond that, fuhgeddaboutit.

Spoiler: show

I know I spelled that last wrong.

I'll watch the NBA if the Celtics are on or during the playoffs (hopefully both ) but other that that, I could take it or leave it.

I was able to procure a free set of tickets for tonight's Celtic's/Magic game so of course I am going. Best two teams in the league right now.

I'm just busting your beans. I'd known a lot of taller guys who just hated basketball since everyone expected them to play it. FWIW I had to be able to get my elbow on the rim before I could dunk it. I couldn't do much with a regulation ball. With a women's ball or a volleyball I could do all sorts of dunks. I was a 1 foot leaper so couldn't dunk with both hands and couldn't palm a regulation ball very well. I was sort of an anomoly though, kids used to joke I had "black guy legs.". It's almost like like being able to hit big drives in golf though. I knew plenty of guys who could jump that basically sucked at basketball when playing with the better players.
