Well, I go to school with NbaDogmatist, and we are really good friends, and he knows his sh*t. I also go to school with a couple other members of this site who are pretty intelligent as well. One of them is a really biased Spurs fan though. I have a couple friends who know the game pretty well....
Well lets see some opinions on the NBA from my friends:"AI in Denver will make them one of the best NBA teams ever.""Greg Oden will be a bust, he sucks in college.""This draft class is horrible outside of Oden and Durant.""AI is the best player in the NBA right now."Just some of it. Most of them are either: LeBron lovers, Nuggets homers (mainly AI or 'Melo homers), or Suns fans.2 of my friends know some basketball, but not too much.
Well we've got a few kids at school who know basketball alright, but they still aren't experts or anything.. I'm not friends with them, and nobody really knows that I do love basketball, love watching it, and love talking about it..
My discussions revolve around steve nash since all the white people in my school are enfatuated with Nash.
None of them like are into or follow the NBA. They follow the Knicks though. They mostly know the players through video games
My school friends don't know jack sh*t about basketball. I have one friend who says T-Mac is a better player than Kobe, Dirk, LeBron, and Wade. He also thinks the Mavs don't play D and the Lakers have a serious chance at winning the NBA Finals *when I say serious, I mean serious. Like the chance the Suns and Mavs have.* He also thinks the Mavs suck and Dirk is a soft player who only shoots jumpshots and doesn't get 10 feet near the basket. He also think that Wade doesn't get fouls called and doesn't goto the line. And another guy who is a HUGE Minny fan of all sports thinks Dirk should have started in the ASG for Duncan but not KG and he thinks that KG is miles ahead of Dirk in terms of who is a better player.
My mom knows more about basketball than my friends do..and she rarely watches it. That's how little they know. Which is why I come on forums like these.
I am not bragging, but out of all my friends, I know Basketball most. Thats partly because I learned alot coming on here. That whats cool about this site. You can argue with people that have a basketball IQ like yours and higher.
I've tried once or twice with a few of my female friends. One started talking about how she wanted to give one of the Pistons a back massage or something to that effect. I was like . Another time the girl said she was a Piston fan I asked her how she felt about Ben leaving for Chicago(mind you this was around October) she didn't know he had left. It was one of those :\ moments. I'm not the most intelligent person when it comes to basketball but sheesh...

He's a Laker fan as well, and we don't really talk about actual NBA issues, just like, "did you hear Smush sucks balls?" or something like that. But he knows his basketball.
I normally talk ball with one of my friend which is also on this site. But then the other ones don't really know much about them. And then some guy who thinks he knows basketball and call Bargnani plays PG? He's such a retard and his excuse is that his dad always watches hockey so he can't watch any Basketball.
I have a few friends that play AAU and love playing basketball but as far as their bball IQ goes...let's just say they're no better than anyone that's been mentioned here. I was basically the same though before I found sports forums.
Theres two guys I can talk to about the NBA, but its really basic stuff, nothing more advanced, its really not that fun cause sometimes I get carried away and sound arrogant.
Most of my friends dont follow basketball but 2 of my current teachers used to play baseball in the minors so they know their baseball and are fun to talk to about baseball.
Most of my friends that know basketball are homer Piston fans. I have a few friends who I can talk bball with, but probably only two of my friends can actually say that he has heard of the name Josh Childress.
