Yeah, it's true, they are much more exciting when you're there. Especially at Staples Center, because there's SO much energy there... I've been to a couple of other courts before, like Phoenix and Portland, and it's so not the same. Actually, Staples isn't even the same when it's the Clippers playing... it's the Laker energy that's like no other. I imagine the Garden is the same way-- high energy crowd, and a bunch of celebrities, too, like Staples.

And you bring up an interesting question-- but yes, I think would still watch even if they were in long pants. Except back when Rick Fox was playing, Mr. Best-legs-in-the-NBA, as he should have been named. He's the only one whose legs mattered more than his game. Speaking of legs, I love it when Lamar Odom wears purple tights... it's not hot, but it cracks me up.
