I just can't get myself excited about basketball. The game doesn't have big moments. There's too many points that you just can't get extremely excited either way. Hockey you get pumped when there's a goal, football in a touchdown. In soccer people lose their minds when someone scores. Baseball has big scoring plays, an heck even golf is more intense in some moments.
Basketball to me is just too watered down during the game to be interesting. Especially now when teams are getting stacked, there's just nothing there for the casual fan.
