Are you being genuine(as well as joking) because its the exact reason I got into it, the season chelsea finished 10th. I always had an interest. But proper got into it that season

Kinda, it was more because a friend that’s really into it and was always banging on about how LeBron James is nowhere near as good as MJ, and I kept arguing the opposite to piiiiiiiiss him off, so I needed to know what I was talking about and ended up getting quite into it.

It’s quite enjoyable watching a sport when you have no vested interest in a team. Though the times make it difficult to really watch much of it.

the times are an issue but its a morning ritual to watch the highlights in the morning at work for me. Its a great sport.

Yeah it is. I really like how American sport is structured. But it does amaze me that a super capitalist country like America, that has a very competitive attitude when it comes to winning, can have such a socialist sporting structure and view players so negatively by taking a more logical route to winning - see Kevin Durant to Golden State.

I wonder how they view top players going to top teams in football. Is it just a basketball (where one player can take a team far) or is it similar with other sports with more players in a team?

hmmm...whilst I agree with you, they are not one and the same. Most pundits and fans are all for players getting their bread and the best deal money wise. But when it comes to stacking the decks firmly in your favour competition wise, then I guess they are messing with the sport.

It may be due to the fact that there is only 5 players out on the court at any time and it isn't as filtered as in american football. You have a good 5 a side team, you are bound to win. GSW have 5 all starts on their roster atm which is just outrageous. Especially considering their whole set up with the draft etc is to stop domination of one team.

Yeah that makes sense. Though I get the impression a lot of people wouldn’t mind another super team being created in LA or New York just because they are so fed up with Golden State.

What Lebron done to beat the warriors at 3-1 down is probably the greatest achievement in nba history. Or atleast recent. The dubs just broke the record for most wins in a season

Nick, yeah I’ve been using that one on my mate for a while to prove LeBron’s the greatest.

haha mate there is an nba thread that I got edin to set up, can always post on there
