Anyone here into Basketball (NBA)?

Shaquille O'Neal ruined basketball.

I thought that was Michael Jordon or is that Magic Johnson.

You're kidding, right?

I said "ruined" basketball. MJ and Magic both elevated basketball to new art forms. Droves of new fans began following basketball because of them. Whereas Shaq ruined basketball.... at least for me. Basketball used to be about consummate skills. Ball-handling, shooting, passing, etc. Then along comes "Big Butt" Shaq and turns basketball into a "give-me-the-ball-and-watch-me-use-my-ample-300-pound-butt-to-shove-people-out-of-the-way-while-I-get-close-enough-to-turn-around-and-dunk" shitty brand of basketball.

No, I was on about Baseball. Sorry.

Antetokounmpo is a special player


The Cavs and Warriors should still be the Finals, only this time I think GSW are too much for them.

It's ok. You gave me an opening to rant about Shaquille O'Neal.

I haven't followed the Pistons since they won in 04

I have never followed basketball since ever.

You're not missing much, I think it's a pretty lame sport.

I've been a big sports fan all my life - football, baseball, hockey, boxing and recently MMA. I can even watch soccer.

But basketball I was never into.

I wouldn't have wanted to be the fan that travelled to see the Cavs play yesterday only to find out they weren't going to play Lebron, Irving, or Love.
