Fandom is easy to understand and explain, but the NBA lost me years ago. I grew up on Kareem, Dr. J, Bird and Magic. The Sprewell, Iverson, Wallace hip-hop and gangster culture polluted the league and tarnished a good product. The league is trying hard to fix their problems after the wound festered and ran at the all-star game in Vegas last year, but too late for me. I remember staying up to watch rebroadcasts of my nearby Rockets playoff games that came on after the late news before the NBA went to cable. I wouldn’t talk to anyone all evening so I wouldn’t know who won. I wouldn’t go now to watch them in my local high school gym if it was free.
