so went to my first NBA game, it was christmas day with defending champions Miami vs Lakers. As a kid I watched alot of NBA but after Jordan and Barkley and kool and the gang retired i sort of lost interested.

Anyway what I found disappointing was how no one in the Arena seemed to be a fan of either team. There was no passion for the game, I expected Lakers fans flying from Los Angeles cheering for their team but I saw almost nobody, and it was a pretty big game. It's all a show for television.
I hoped for something like in the english premiership where fans go crazy singing, shouting, cheering, booing, CARING, but you're forced to just sit there keeping your cool and occasionally standing up for soldiers of the war and the anthem.

Anyway it was a good trip and americans are extremely nice people, almost too nice!
