I follow it but don't hardly watch it except for the playoffs. I haven't regularly watched basketball since Jordan retired a second time in 1998. The game's changed quite a bit, not for the better IMO. The players are too whiny and seem to want their cake and eat it too. First they wanna get paid, then they want to dictate which teams they do and don't wanna play for. It's just not the same. No one builds anything anymore. Guys just join up for super teams and then float to another team in another city. But do I follow it? Yes. Do I watch it? No, except for the playoffs. I'm waiting for my Yankees to come back in the spring!
