Basket Ball

[Zebra]

It's one word.

in German it is Basketball

 

[LA RAM FAN]

are you interested in it?

do you play it?

just got done saying on a thread of mine i cant fathom WHY anybody likes that game and gets excited about it. i fail to see how anybody can get excited over watching another team trying to put a ball in a hoop more times than the opponent. will never understand it.

the comeback i hear on that is this-the two sports you love football and baseball isnt it the same thing that you are trying to always outscore the oppoenent put more points on the board? LOL

yes that IS true but the DIFFERENCE in THOSE two sports is you are always doing something DIFFERENT in those games where in basketball you are doing the same damn thing over and over again and that is boring as hell.

Baseball you are doing something different,you go out on the field and FIELD when you are on defense,when you are on OFFENSE,you go to the plate and HIT.two totally different things so its exciting to play AND watch live anyways.

football is exciting to BOTH play AND watch because you are doing something different there as well,you are either running the ball or THROWING it,two completely different things and LOTS of funny stuff always happens as well with players knocking down refs which is ALWAYS a riot.you dont get to see that in basketball.

basketball you are always doing the SAME DAMN THING over and over again,just dribbling a ball down the court and trying to put the ball in a hoop more times than the opponent and when you are on defense,all you do is run down the court again, you are just RUNNING the ENTIRE game,,BORING BORING BORING!!!!!!!

here is what another poster said on my thread about it as well which was ALSO a great point WHY basketball is such a stupid sport.

Post in thread 'How many here feel this way about these two sports?'

Growing up the two sports i loved and had a passion for playing were football and baseball.as a result,I always watched the superbowl and the world series.Basketball i totally hated that sport and never watched the NBA championship or collegebasketball.I cant even name who won the NBA championship or the final four in college basketball last year thats how much attention i pay to the NBA or college basketball.

was wondering if there are any others here who also loved playing football and baseball but hate the sport of basketball? even if you disagree and love all 3 go ahead and post...

This is my take on why I have absolutely no use for college or pro basketball. In baseball, the first run scored could be the winner. In football, the first score could be the winner; therefore, the whole game has meaning. BASKETBALL, great for kids in the park, but the way the pro game is constructed, each and every early point means NOTHING. The only part of the game that is interesting is the last couple of minutes, if the game is close. In addition, the players are almost as thuggish as in football.

I play off & on. One time, I bought a medicine ball because my three point shots were always falling short. Using it helped get my shots just over the rim. I got into a rhythm and our team in my workplace asked me if I wanted to join their midweek game.

So I joined the game and did fairly well. But after the game, I changed clothes are realized I forgot clean socks. I was going to my parents’ house right after because my sister got engaged and they were having a party of about 50 people.

I had to be on time, so I was in a bind. My teammate/co-worker said the zebra always has a few extra pairs of socks in his locker. I replied, “zebra?” To which he responded, “The referee—you know they’re called zebras because of their striped shirts.” I told him I knew the terminology, but it had just thrown me off.

Anyway, I ask zebra for some socks. He goes to his locker and was loaded. He even had a pair of those high quality Pastelli socks from Italy. I got a pair and was in plenty of time for a great party.

Huh? Ai? Or As (auto stupid)?
