NBA Interest

I’ve watched less nba this year than ever but I am rockets fan

I was a die hard NBA fan growing up in the 90s. When The Lakers traded Shaq to Miami and the boring Spurs started winning titles I started losing interest. Once the players I grew up watching started retiring, I lost more interest. Now, for the last few years I watch Sports Center to see all the highlights. I haven’t had any interest watching a full game.

I was like that with baseball growing up in the steroid era seeing all the home runs. I was a big card collector in the 90s and it was fun. Once the players I grew up with started retiring, I haven’t been into MLB either. College football, the NFL, and LSU basketball/some college basketball are the only ones I can watch.

Another thing as a kid when it came to the NBA, I took every game of my favorite teams so serious, I was bummed out when they would lose a game. The older I got, I realized players would not played hard every game and then you have this era of players sitting out to rest.

Has anyone else lost total interest in the NBA?

My peak interest was mid 90s...MJ, Shaq/Penny, That fun Suns team, Bulls vs Knicks, Reggie Miller running around to catch and shoot. I knew all the players on each NBA Jam team. I couldn’t name a player from Sacramento, Indiana, Orlando, or San Antonio now if you offered me $500.

No, much like global interest, my own personal interest in the NBA has never been higher

Lost interest that shite years ago.

The NBA is great to watch and still try and catch a few games a week and as many as I can during the playoffs

I just now chose not to watch the Lakers until Lebron is gone

He’s toxic

I still watch a lot of NBA games, but like the NFL, the product has not been as entertaining lately. Maybe it’s just my preferences. I am a bigger fan of good defense than good offense and seeing rules in both sports that are more favorable to offensive players is lame.

And to the NBA specifically, dunks and tough lay ups are way more interesting than three pointers, so that’s another thing that makes me lose interest.

Hadn't watched an NBA game from start to finish in years until the Beal/Tatum play in game.

I never stopped watching. I didn't watch hardly any regular season games this year. But that's not that out of the ordinary for me. I normally always hop on full time for the playoffs

Was a NBA fan and a huge Laker fan. Was a regular game thread poster on here. Started many a NBA thread on this board, (looking at you James Harden). But I haven’t watched a single game since before the bubble last year and I haven’t posted much about the game since then either.

All the recent political/ SJW stuff turned me completely off and made me lose any interest I had in their game. And to be honest, I haven’t really missed it.

I’ll occasionally scan a NBA thread on here or read a related story on-line, but that thirst for the game is gone. Sometimes I’ll watch some of Inside the NBA if it is on while flipping the channels. Not for highlights but to see Chuck and crew cut up. But the religious viewing of all things NBA is gone.

That could be permanent or temporary. IDK. I think something will eventually switch my interest back on and I’ll start watching again. I just don’t know what that will be though. I can tell you that my favorite team winning the title last year didn’t do it.
