Good stuff.

How does telling me to watch the 3 best teams answer the question as to what is so impressive about a 7 foot giant slam dunking from above the ring? I'm not particularly anti-basketball, I already knew who the best teams were thanks, I'm just pointing out that those top plays are nothing of the...

I notice the BBC sport page does a "plays of the week" for NBA now. Now I used to play basketball and do understand that some aspects of the sport are more difficult to execute than some might think. But with that said, what is so clever about a seven foot GIANT dribbling up to the basket and...

Correct as always, mate. :thumbsup:

A bit harsh on this lot: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_foreign_NBA_players

Incredible that it's taken as long as this for such a post to arrive.

Let's be clear, I'm not missing any point - you're not describing quantum theory here. Somehow I think I too am capable of understanding how some people consider cricket somewhat baffling despite it being a game I also enjoy. I am merely taking issue with your assessment of baseball, which...

:lolol: :thumbsup: My point was that it's a game where you have to be a freak to be world class. I do realise I am beginning to sound like Alan Partridge describing farmers now. You should probably throw a dead cow at me.

Would you like me to amend my original post to "there are no world class players under the height of 6 ft 6, which just about says it all", seeing as you're obviously very sensitive towards it? I'm not sure my point would be any less valid if we lose those 4 inches in height.

Nobody says it is. This is a thread bemoaning the fact that our main sports provider has seen fit to spend money on the NBA, which we think is shit. Thanks to you though, I now realise I will no longer watch it. Your critique on baseball has as much depth as someone moaning that cricket is...

Well, yes and no. Here is the roster for the Golden State warriors, current NBA Champions: https://www.nba.com/warriors/roster There are TWO players out of 16 who are under 6' 6" tall. My point was exaggerated but still stands I think.

You're wrong and Easy is right I'm afraid. Baseball is no more shit than cricket (i.e. not shit at all), although I will say that an attritional game with pitchers on top can get a bit tiresome. Basketball is the shittest of the American big 4 by far. With a couple of very notable exceptions...

I'm almost with you, except the highlighted bit. Someone is forgetting Sky already have the rights to Formula One. Perhaps they could have a dedicated channel for Formula One and NBA and brand it Sky Sports BORE or something.
