Does anyone watch the NBA anymore?

I live in Joisey. Who would you watch - the Knocks or the Nyets?

I use to love the NBA. That was years ago, when they were real professionals playing the game.
I wish it could be the NBA of the 70's and 90's again with the likes of Frazier, Chmberlain and West and so many others we could truly idolize.
Today, it is a joke of overpaid thugs.

I watch it on FOX News. Recent episode...

Gilbert Arenas pulls gun on teamate.

Next week....

Gilbert goes to Rikers Island to assasinate Plaxico Burris.

I watched the NBA religiously as a kid, and idolized those guys along with Willis Reed, Elgin Baylor, Pete Maravich, John Havlicek, Bob Love, Chet Walker, Kareem, Dave DeBusschere, etc, etc, etc....

This is the reason I haven't given the NBA a second look since David Robinson retired.

I stopped watching years ago when they let Rodman practically rape Shaq and then call Shaq with an offensive foul when he pulled his arm free from Rodman's grip.

BTW,
Just realized, typo.
Meant to say 70's and 80's.

In 30+ years living 15 miles from the Meadowlands, I've been to 2 games - back in the '80s - so I really couldn't tell you precisely what tickets cost these days. I do know tickets there are not cheap, even though the team sucks big-time, and as for those Knyucks who play in MSG, they charge an arm and two legs for tickets.

But they will let you boo all you want.
