I grew up playing/watching Basketball, and just watching Hockey when it was on. Slowly, all my attention has turned to hockey. Any more, I don't see the appeal of basketball, high scoring, low scoring, I don't see it. I'll watch now and then, but only college, and not a whole game.
Now Hockey on the other hand, the speed, finesse, hits, etc! I love it. Yes there are fights, but that's only part of the game, and not why I watch. If you could sit down and really digest the game, first by actually going to a game, you would see it's appeal. Watching on TV is <I>definately not</I> the same as going to a game live. I would choose to go to every game I could, if I had the money, but have to settle for TV.
