    Why do you love basketball?

    I like basketball because my country favors that sport over the others apart from boxing. I am from the Philippines and we Filipinos spend time, money and scream our lungs out for our favorite basketball teams, be it in the University league or professional basketball teams. Our team has been...

    Best NBA Player Ever

    Looks like this question is not really debatable at least for the 3 of us who have so far answered this thread. My best NBA player of all time is Michael Jordan too. He is good in all departments, scoring, rebound, assist and above all, he is superb in dunking. I know it is part of scoring but I...

    Being at the game or at home. Which is your favorite?

    I like to watch on TV because you can really see up close what's going on, like if there's really a foul, or a wrong foul was called. Although, being on the court sure is more exciting because you can feel the tension and high spirit vibe of the fans. I can't deal with that. I might have a heart...

    Ladies ... What is your favorite NBA team?

    My husband's the one who is really a basketball fan. He likes the Golden State Warriors because they hit 16 consecutive wins before losing. So I like them too. I don't follow them as much as my husband does. But yesterday, they won against the OKC Thunder, 109-114. :-) But I like them as well. I...

    Do you play any other sports?

    I used to play volleyball, in fact, even more than I played basketball. I am just contented watching basketball. I remember I played the game because it was our PE in high school. That was decades ago. I love to see basketball in action more than be in it. I was also into table tennis and...

    Nike vs Adidas

    I go for Adidas for sentimental reasons. :-) It is also more durable and comfortable for me. It has a wider toebox that enables my toes to move freely especially when I am running or walking briskly. Since I can have heel pain after a run and/or brisk walk, Adidas gives me more stability since...

    Which do you prefer, watching TV, or on a computer?

    I have not been a TV fanatic for years now. I am almost always on the computer watching movies (only on some weekends), listening to relaxing music, reading news, checking and replying to my emails and searching the net. I mean, I can do a lot of things with one box, why should I go watch TV...

    Do You Exercise?

    As much as I want to make it regular, I cannot because of my busy schedules. But when I do find the time, I walk and/or run about an hour twice a week. I also do Zumba because it is effective for me in keeping off some flab. In just a few days of continuous Zumba, I can see the improvement...

    Hello there!

    I'm a newbie in this site. I want to just learn more about basketball as I am also a newbie to the sport. I have been a fan though from the 80's but was cut short with relocations, work and family. So I know the basic rules. Recently, I got interested again in basketball when a group of...
