re: NBA Interest

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.
