don't watch march madness. they are so good. its a different level. also how fast the info comes from the side and actually is about the game or player. not feelings or a conversation they had last week over dinner. being fair the b ball gets timeouts etc to convey some of the messages. sx needs to be quick and accurate.they don't dumb it down to the new viewer. the viewer is engaged so they learn, crazy huh? flame away vitardsSilly

I guess I'm safe because I'd rather watch my toenails grow than watch any level of basketball.

Ok, cards on the table. I learned to play in a small school(less than 100 kids 1st thru 12th grade)....then moved to a metropolitan city. The game went from skills and strategy to football without pads. Penalties for every minor infraction to an elbow/tripping free for all. It was like the rules and refs didn't exist. Thankfully, there was still baseball and dirt bikes.

I was always short as a kid, and horribly uncoordinated. Couldn't dribble or make a basket to save my life.
Always hated that game.
As an adult, I would literally rather watch one of those cooking shows, or bridal gown shows that the little woman watches, than a basketball game.

I had mentioned this in a different thread, but if you have a 5 or 6 speaker surround sound system. Unhook your center speaker, all the commentary goes away and all you hear is the action. Kinda nice sometimes!!

I never use to like basketball either. But I just started playing wheelchair basketball this past season to get competitive at something again since my injury (2010). It's been the most fun I've had in a long time and now I have a new found passion for the sport. I can't imagine what it's like for people trying to watch moto that have never taken part in the sport before. "this is stupid, the bike does all the work". Grinning

What is this basketball your all talking about? Is that when you kick the ball and the guy raises his arms up?

We had to march in the military, I don't remember getting mad about it, but wasn't too fun with a hangover.

Yes they go inside the WNBA for a segment at halftime to see how they’re doing

Mainstream sports announcers are encyclopedias of things that regular fans don't know (and think of how many fans basketball has) and they freely inject their opinion.
As opposed to not even mentioning things that are happening at the actual event, if they are off camera, and expressing very few opinions at all.

I agree, the whole dumb it down to educate the newcomer is a nightmare! It makes whatever you are watching seem uncool and amateur. I thought Emig was the worst at that. The whole "Here you can see where he turned the throttle ok, and he jumped the jump ok, and he crashed hard ok, real hard. And Ralph, when you hit your head on the ground like that its not a good thing to do ok." Ok, ok? No you @#$# it is not ok! Gah!!!!
It is a common mistake I guess. Someone is a genius athlete, hey lets make him a coach, or announcer and expect them to be polished professionals. Not even close! Listening to these guys talk is like watching a novice rider race a 450 for the first time. Cringe worthy.

Nah, it really is just an awful sport with some of the worst humans playing the game.

You go ahead and enjoy your game but your childish attempt to slam those of us who don't like the game is hilarious.

My favorite simpleton Vital response, "oh yeah? Well then you must suck at _______"

Yeah, that's why l hate it. No l basically hate because fans of basketball are insufferable.

The beauty of todays technology is you can create your own personal world by controlling what information you allow yourself to be exposed to. I eliminated all ball sports, politics, weather, music, social media and broadcast media years ago. Got 5 hours per day of my life back to focus on things that truly matter like motocross.
