I agree with you about basketball and will add most sports to it. The only game I can sit down and watch is Football (note: NOT Soccer). Even that can be boring at times and I have to be interested in one team or the outcome to even want to see it.I find basketball to be waaaay more boring than SOCCER to watch. One team gets the ball, they score. The other team gets the ball.. they score. Rinse, repeat. Boring. It's a game I love to play but can't sit down to watch. Quite the opposite to SOCCER which I suck at playing but love watching.
