Message: [QUOTE="HardHatGuy#2, post: 2055725, member: 6612"] Back in the Day, I used to watch ESPN a lot, and I loved all of the "different" sports they used to televise: Australian Rules Football, rugby, Lumberjack competitions, women's basketball, various Olympic sports around the world...I could watch it all day. ESPN2 only made that more fun. Then I discovered a new sport....it may have been called Streetball....basically basketball on an outdoor court with an announcer calling the game like the emcee from a Grambling vs Southern Battle-of-the-Bands halftime show over a loudspeaker. It had little to do with basketball, apart from the court, hoop, and ball; it was all about entertaining the crowd and showing off. It was fun to watch, but it WASN'T basketball. THAT is what the NBA has become, IMO. That is what lead me to UConn Women's Basketball; my enjoyment of the game. Streetball was fun to watch now-and-then, but it wasn't Basketball, and the game they play in the NBA is more akin to Streetball than it is Basketball. Now, you kids GET OFF MY LAWN!!! [/QUOTE]
