I am a fan. I am very tall, but only played it at school (not naturally coordinated enough to do any good at it!). I follow the Sydney Kings, but haven't been to a game for many years (it is too easy to watch them on channel 10 or SBS these days, and I have been to enough sport during the year with the Roosters). I also like the LA Lakers or, to a lesser extent, Boston Celtics or Sacramento Kings. I would love to go to an NBA game in the US the next time I travel there. It is good to have the games on SBS now. I am having a day off from work today and watched the Lakers v Hawks game this morning. It was quite a close game and enjoyable.

I like the Kings but I hardly ever watch basketball. It seemed more popular in Australia in the 1990s.
