Is Basketball the greatest sport in the world?

[EmpireMaker]

Poker a non-sport is a better sport NBA doesn't crack the top 10 !!!!!

[jjgold]

Zeta knows his sports

If your talking about intensity NBA right up there with NFL

Baseball is by far on the bottom

[Roadtrip635]

Basketball is an actor's sport.

For athletes that aren't good enough actors to play soccer!

[ByeShea]

obviously yes. watching game 3 of the nba finals yet. wade, lebron, dirk.

game has unreal intensity

It might be the gayest sport in the world, just because of this thread.

[juuso]

It's a good game to bet on, but not even close to being the best game to watch.

[I/O]

No.

What he said

[andywend]

90% of the players in the NBA would probably be in jail at some point in their lives if it wasn't for basketball.

The players have absolutely no class, flop all the time, whine every time they get called for a foul and I don't know whether to look at them or read them.

Lebron James is considered to be the NBA's #1 superstar and look at what a low class POS he really is.

Amazingly, the Cavs owner truly believed that James was coming back to Cleveland even on "decision" night. How on Earth could James leave the city of Cleveland who treated him like a God in the manner he did. The owner had to hear of the news at the exact same time as everyone else.

College basketball is far better than the NBA. NO CONTEST!!!!

[horja1]

obviously yes

obviously no way ...

[Speedy88]

NFL

[horja1]

... and hoops players are the best conditioned athletes in the world....

... you should watch some australian football ...

[horja1]

NFL

better than NBA for sure

[mrpooh]

no, because the start of the game doesn't matter

[jbrent95]

Team basketball is a good sport, but the NBA is marginal at best.

[Mexes]

For me basketball is the no 1.
easy question.

[Richkas]

No way....football tons better

[Muggy]

Sadly, it's not. Definitely fun to play or watch though.

[Wiggums5]

NCAA BB is the only basketball that is worth watching. I'm not even sure if i'd rather watch the WNBA or the NBA.

[thetrinity]

you have the most athletic sportsmen in the world playing a global game, hard to match that IMO.

[RudyRuetigger]

its a top 5

[jbatcha21]

basketball is #1. you have to wait 40 seconds between every play for football.

[Robust]

no.. but it has great potential!! lets go wade and lebron!!

Robust

[alling]

greatest over hyped league full of pussy drama queens

[BrigadierPudding]

I'm surprised at how many people say CBB is better given how atrocious the level of play is. CBB is virtually unwatchable. Does everyone remember Butler/UConn? LOL.

[hostile takeover]

Is basketball the greatest sport in the world?

[astrodomer]

absolutley not by far baseball is the best!

[bruceBRUCEbruce]

NBA Finals aren't bad, but generally NO. College Hoops is 10 times better.

Agree on all points.

[ZetaPsi808]

more evidence supporting my point

http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/playof...ory?id=6632769

Miami's victory in Game 3 at Dallas on Sunday night earned an 11.1 overnight rating, marking the 22th straight time a finals game has been the most-watched program on a given evening, according to Nielsen.

[mr.inpak]

baseball the best by far one big reason no clock

[shady610]

by far the best. What sport has this much intensity and action that can last the entire game and keep you interested?

baseball is way too slow

football is just as slow as baseball when you account for a 3 minute break between plays

Hockey is intense but not up to nba

[SEAHAWKHARRY]

Come on people...really...just because its the only sport on nat tv right now doesnt make it the best THE NFL IS BY FAR THE BEST SPORT IN THE WORLD...BAR NONE!!!!!

[NBA_Brosuf]

Boxing is better?

Unless you want to call boxing as entertainment and not a sport

[Kav]

NFL is where it is at!

[frostno98]

Badmington is

[Frostware]

No I wouldn't say it is the best in the world...

[marcoloco]

finals were good last year. they have been great this year. 3 of 4 games came down to the last play? unreal
