They can be a lot of fun to watch. There's something exciting about seeing Manute Bol block 8 shots and make a three pointer. I love reading box scores, so oddities like that make me like certain players more than I should.

Out of the big four NA sports Basketball is the only one i'm really into have been since i was like 8 or something. Getting into the NFL quite a bit right now and can't wait for the Super Bowl, i'm interested in Baseball too but i must admit i'm mostly interested in pitching, Greg Maddux is my favourite player so far.
We got to go to the play offs for the NFL but lost to Cricket's silly team... Patriots...
We used to have a basketball team in the 1970's...
We have NASCAR here, minor league baseball and soccer as well and we had indoor football and hockey at one time.
Wilt's numbers were other worldly. If stats told the whole story he's the greatest by miles.

If we compared everything to Wilt, the only thing that would impress anybody is somebody making two free throws in a row.

Yeah MG, you guys had Oscar at one point.
How in the world did that happen? Watching video of Wilt shooting free throws is hilarious. He approached it like a child approaches the task of eating their vegetables. I've heard the theory that Wilt was just too powerful for free throws and it was hard for him to get the right amount of touch on his shots from the line. I don't remember where I saw it, maybe on his namesake's archive, but it talked about how great he was with fadeaways because he could actually get touch on his shot by going away from the basket.

The Kings were the Rochester Royals (they won their only title under this name) then the Cincinatti Royals before becoming the Kansas City-Omaha Kings then just the Kansas City Kings now Sacramento.
Ok makes sense... I didnt know.. I just knew that Kansas City Athletics moved to Oakland CA and became the Oakland A's.
I know they were KC btw, just saying they were the Philly A's for over 50 years.
