I still enjoy watching the great players perform too. I liked watching The Big O, To West, Hondo, Magic, Jordan, Kobe, and now there are Lebron, Currie, and (my favourite) KD. Back in the day, it was pretty much the Celtics winning, with odd blip. I really believe there are far more fabulous players today, than ever. Heck, my 95 year old mother watches now! She loves Currie.
