Wild baseball is America’s pastime the reality is College football, the NFL, and college basketball are America’s top three favorite sports.

There’s nothing wrong with the NBA. That’s OK. You see the problem with football, and college basketball is people just take them way too seriously.. The NBA is cool it’s not too wild it’s calm well nobody cares but you see that’s not what it’s made for it’s made to watch but it’s a fun sport to watch I mean it’s just plain that’s okay you I hear what you’re saying. The NBA is classic it’s is old but good as a good ole Canister of Quaker oats oatmeal imo. The NBA is not made to get all rowdy like College football, the NFL, and college basketball it’s made to watch it’s made to entertain but yes it has championships it has a format but it’s made to entertain it’s made to not get all psyched about, and competitive about it’s not made to even be to some degree the way major-league baseball is, and to some extent minor league baseball even for that matter. hear what you’re saying even golf, and tennis can sometimes have hoots, and hollers especially in golf when Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, Rory McIlroy, and others like that are playing tennis maybe has some of that but tennis is supposed to be a quiet sport unless maybe somebody like Francis Tiafoe or Coco Gauff or Novak Djokovic or Andy Murray are playing People get rowdy like that over tennis professionals like the ones I named during like the U.S. Open but they are not really supposed to I see where you’re coming from though yes the NBA had one or a few seasons like that like Michael Jordan people went rowdy over the Chicago Bulls they got competitive as well as Bill Russell, and Kobe Bryant maybe LeBron James, and Steph Curry in recent years maybe. But the NBA is not made for competition like I said it’s made for entertainment it’s plain old basketball I see why you like it. It is a cool sport. It’s a great sport plain old basketball is just great. For all of those reasons. It’s fun every now and then to channel surfing with your remote control on your TV, and to Just click around, and you find NBA TV on channel 609 with a one on one hoops action game of for example the New York Knicks versus the Charlotte Hornets, and say oh there is LaMelo Ball playing right now he’s good, and he makes a shot and you’re like wow that’s cool! That’s what the NBA is all about sometimes you will catch some of your collegiate basketball university players that you cheer so hard for but again that’s the thing I don’t like like I said about college basketball it’s like football it’s very rowdy it’s hyped up it’s every single solitary bit as wild as college football, and the NFL especially games like Duke, and Carolina, and Louisville, and Kentucky, and Kansas, and Indiana. March Madness is way too hyper it’s like the Super Bowl on the court it’s like College football bowl games in March. The regionals is way too much it’s basically the Rose Bowl or the orange bowl or even the lending tree bowl on The hardwood. It’s way too crazy I love that time of year who doesn’t love filling in their brackets, right? But it can get overwhelming at times they play inside 17,000 seat Basketball Arenas, and A lot of them are NBA but they play inside football stadiums though that’s when the final four is. The problem with college is like in like I said college football, and the NFL it can get intense it can get competitive it can get to the point where you are cheering so hard for example watching for example North Carolina trying to keep up with the format wait to go to the ACC tournament to win that that is the equivalent of winning the Dr Pepper or the subway ACC title game in football in Charlotte that’s a big game that’s just the beginning it was in Brooklyn last year it’s a big deal it’s in Greensboro this year the thing is it can get intense. Also, families just like in football while they may not exactly tailgate in college basketball have a tradition of coming for the games in your town to cheer on your teams. Yeah it’s the same with basketball to except instead of tailgating they usually go to the stadium, and they have a family night outing maybe sometimes they go get pork before the game or they go to Wendy’s with your aunts, uncles, and cousins, and maybe grandparents before a basketball game you go to dinner, and get a jacket go to a meeting or whatever then go to a basketball game by bundling up with your family that’s a tradition in America just like tailgating in football in spring closer to the tournament just like tailgating in football for basketball, Americans like to cook a steak on the grill They also like to cook burgers on the grill, and sometimes they like to get Wendy’s takeout like a Wendy’s burger for lunch for basketball games in March. A lot of times to especially in the old days especially in the south they still do it some they let out kids early from school they have early dismissal just to let out so they can let their kids go cheer on their teams in the tournaments they are nice enough to do that some teachers still do that for the ACC, and the SEC tournaments in basketball. Also, another ongoing tradition for college basketball is watching shows like “the price is right” right before Tourney Time! That is especially true in March. But the NBA on the other hand has like what is it 20 some teams? Usually the highest drafts just like in football end up making the most commercials they get the most money from college the best the absolute best players in college turn pro but they end up becoming great, and they get a lot of money professionals some of them but in very rare cases end up becoming like Steph Curry but it takes a decade to get there. It can be fun sometimes to Just click around, and just find a good ole NBA game you watch maybe for a few minutes, and then move on just watching a player or two, actually!
