I quit following the NBA when Larry Bird left the Celtics…

Yes. College is far more entertaining at this point. How many wins do the OKC Thunder have, 3? Enjoy your team.

I still follow the Jazz, but not as intensely as I did last year. I do agree about college basketball. It is pretty exciting this year and I’ll be going to another Vandal game this weekend

The Supersonics moved?

I quit when “Dr. J” no longer made house calls.

I quit following pro basketball long ago, when it ceased to be a thing of beauty, grace and fluidity. NBA basketball is actually one long fast break with slammin’ and jammin’ and players gettin’ in each other faces, where guys who are 6‘6” (or taller) have arms over 4 feet long, and the basket’s only 10 feet high. I’d much rather watch college or high school basketball any day.
