Maybe someone can explain the fascination with basketball to me.

At the end of every year I love watching the year end wrap up shows and the "best play" countdowns. I love "catching up" in a small way on the sports I don't really follow.

American football, you see crazy touchdown passes/catches, 90+ yard rushes, ect. Soccer I get to see guys pulling off crazy passing plays, bicycle kick goals and crazy precision goals scored from what seems like a mile away. Amazing hockey goals, boxing somtimes, ect.

Then interspersed between these amazing athletic feats are the basketball highlights... which all involve a 7 foot black guy dribbling past a few guys who AREN'T ALLOWED TO TOUCH HIM, thenjumping up and slamming a ball through a hoop. Who gives a flying fuck? I never understood why anyone would watch basketball. Where's the excitement?
