ansa' cumin bruh!! player firstly, i'd say but i found myself in the other two categories aswell lately. completed watching the whole final series and a bunch of other play-offs..it is,as u've put it, being a part of a community, exchanging thoughts about something u love or atleast are very fond of with someone in your vicinity, passing time and building bonds..
yeah, life is literally about killing time. Basketball makes the time you're killing more enjoyable. I like talking about the game more than watching.
Deep 3 mentioned lets gooo
THose guys are everywhere, man!
As the league pares down later on the content definitely suffers because there are a lot fewer storylines to keep track of, even moreso when your team gets eliminated because now it's like oh well they're not even able to talk about my guys anymore because they're out. Speaking of NBA dorkdom culture, here's a question: do you think there's a certain kind of nerdy haughtiness going on with the commentary around SGA? Whenever I admit my ambivalence on him and/or his playstyle I get a lot of responses like "but he's so good how could you not like him? look at his true shooting percentage!" "but look how well he draws the foul!" "look at the consistency!" when he just doesn't really move me as a player. I'm not all that excited by SGA. He shoots the middy (well) with a placid expression. He gets the points. It's fine. P.S. jealous of your cool looking naturally well lit apartment
Maybe that's it. maybe the guys that I care about are eliminated and I lose interest. I'm really engaged in the Pacers vs knicks series. but I didn't care at all about Min vs OKC. I like the Pacers story. once they're eliminated I'll check out.
I play pick up games with around 15 people that pull up, full runs with subs, only 2 of my close friends will watch a game, another close friend will refuse to watch any games and only takes in information through instagram and will call himself a basketball fan and a “ball knower”, during pick up runs, there were a few older guys around late 50s, one being the former high school coach, when we played with him the games pace were much faster, better basketball was being played, without him playing, games were sloppy, slow, and boring Great episode!
Dang that's really interesting. It's fascinating how some people will raise the level of play. you always need to keep score and have a winner stays situation to make sure the game stays sharp.
I played some sports growing up but never basketball, these days pretty much just a follower of the nba. The noise pollution thing is also super annoying to me cause I live in a populated area, makes it hard to sleep at night.
I'm that way with football, I don't watch anymore but I used to love watching. Honestly have no interest in playing it looks scary. We should get water guns to shoot at people from our windows when they're being too rowdy.
This season is the first time I consumed more content than actual games. No particular reason other than content has been much more entertaining. did watch the pistons tho
THat's the case for most people now I assume. you got your squad and you watch their games/the highlights then stay informed with the rest of the league with podcasts and youtube
