re: from 0-10, with 10 being INSANELY relavent, how relavent is the NBA to you?

I was a huge NBA fan in my teens up to my early 20s. This was during the Bulls' run. I watched every game I could, collected cards and hung 2 Charles Barkley posters in my room.

In the summer, me, my brother, our cousins and our neighbors would play basketball in our driveway litterally all day most days. We loved basketball.

My enthusiasm started to decline after Game 6 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals. Each year I've given less of a shite than the year before.

I don't watch regular season games and usually watch 1 or 2 playoff games from beggining to end. I haven't watched an NBA Finals game in 3 years.

I just don't relate to the players now that I'm 40 like I did when I was young I guess. I can't put my finger on it.

So, to answer your question, I'd say a 1.

Sorry for the long winded answer.
