Basketball is not huge were I am from. However, I was always a big fan of the NBA
I don't watch it as regular now (however, I am going to try and get back into it), but still keep a keen eye on it and watch big games
Despite being a Celtics fan, I always enjoyed watching Kobe
He was a great player and easily one of the best players I have seen in my short time watching the sport
Why do I support the Celtics?
Well being Irish, I also follow Glasgow Celtic Football team and my Uncle was a huge Larry Bird fan and he also played for a local team when younger
I enjoyed playing it in school when I got a chance which wasn't often
Great game imo and I enjoy it more than the NFL (which my bigger brother prefers and supports the NY Giants for whatever reason)
