I love this game...

This evening I just hang out with my friend Victor, watchin the game, havin a Bud. It's kind of cool to be able to watch the NBA finals live on TV. I played a little basketball myself at school but I've never been good at it. I always enjoyed playing for fun but my joy got lost since the guys I used to play with took it kind of too serious. Standing around, never getting to play gets boring with the time.
Anyway, I still like basketball although I do not play it nor do I watch it regularly. But following the NBA finals between the San Antonio Spurs and the Detroit Pistons is stirring. The Pistons kind of sucked in their first two games which took Place in San Antonio. Coming home to Detroit everything changed and they started to play real good basketball. Good defence, wonderful offense and really nice moves. They won with 31 points ahead today! Man I love this game. It's so entertaining.

When I was in New York City for the first time (February 2004) I went to see the New York Knicks in Madison Square Garden together with my girlfriend. Honestly it was not the best basketball I ever saw but it was for sure the best entertaining sports event I ever attended! It's not like going to a soccer match in Austria. Going to a NBA game is an evening full of fun. You get to see the (in this case) Mc Donalds childrens chorus singing the national anthem, you get to see cheerleaders jumping and fooling around, you get to see a BMX show in the break and of course there is one visitor choosen to try and make a basket from the midcourt. He didn't but if he would have done it, he'd won a brand new car... So it was a fun evening with my girlfriend back in February.
