All sports are cool to some degree, but if you prefer any sort of basketball to football you should go get your broken brain looked at and possibly partially lobotomized.

College football is vastly superior to any type of basketball, but college basketball is way better than the NFL. And just about everything is better than the NBA.

Cricket's a fun sport. I work with a Pakistani and he got me into playing it last year with what I assume is western Virginia's entire Pakistani population. I look hilariously out of place if you just drive by and look at us playing it.

I played Bill Laimbeer's Combat Basketball with Lowtax and Fragmaster in Vegas once and I found out I was really, really good at it but I had to go to bed before the game was over.

Also, the NBA is really boring but college basketball is fun and I wish I had time to watch more rugby

Sports are really cool but the NBA is better than college basketball. College hoops has too long of a shot clock which extends possession and now everyone just stands around for the whole loving shot clock until they try for a three. You also can't have Hassan Whiteside just randomly showing up and setting the NBA blocks in a game record because you need a dude to play. Virginia Tech needs a dude who can be a proper 4 or 5 right now and it's not like they have a stacked depth chart like football.

Favoritism over sports is pretty loving stupid and I think may be dependent on your geographic region. They're games.

Things college basketball does better than the NBA: March Madness. The NBA is quite possibly the most progressive major sports league in the United States and that's worth noting. I have a feeling most people are mad at the NBA because of "they don't call traveling" or "they don't play defense" which is weird to me. Then again I hear people complaining that no one in college football plays defense. Truth is that the rules have changed and we have to discuss defense and offense in new language.

I had myself conditioned in college like one of Pavlov's dogs. Every night I would watch The Simpsons DVDs as I went to bed. Our local FOXY affiliate played The Simpsons every day at 6PM. Without fail, if I was watching the 6PM episode I would fall asleep.

Whelp, I'll show myself out. See you folks in August.

It resembles the game it's supposed to be? :iiam: The NBA for me is like the WWE of basketball (forget the rules, go for spectacle) and that includes the fact that the Harlem Globetrotters are real and not just awesome cartoon cameo characters.

Also it's easy to ascribe some of your football love to your school's basketball teams.
