I love basketball. It is without question my favorite sport. Everyone who has an affinity for a particular sport will tell you why the one they love is inherently best. They may wax poetic about how it transcends the simplistic and animal nature of other sports. Baseball is beautiful in it's relaxed nature and the mental chess matches that occur pitch after pitch is fascinating to watch...if you understand it. Football is the "ultimate team game" where one guy not doing his job correctly can impact the success rate of each individual play. Not to mention that each play has the opportunity of instant success from anywhere on the field.
