Why is basketball above all???

i like basketball a lot. i play point guard. however, i watched a football match here in costa rica. i could not imagine and describe the euphoria and excitement in the atmosphere during the game. every moment is critical and thrilling. now i understand why football is the most popular sports in the planet. basketball above all? maybe..

To me the reason why basketball is above all is simply because it is not boring. You have people saying that baseball is America's past-time, however it is time that America get a new-time, and that new time is basketball. Also with basketball, and kid can play it in his or her driveway. Also the audience is closer to the spectical then any other sport. This causes there to be personal interaction with one another. But now as I write, I realize that there is one sport that is superior to even basketball- and that sport is football.

hhhooohhhoooohhooo...even tho i like bsktball a l0t,much mo than futball,i gotta say dat futball mo p0pular actually.anywaY,i like da style of playin bsktball 0r even dnt kno y i like it...hv fun!

It really depends. We have our own preference. We could say that basketball was popular since USA was untouchable quite a number of years back. It could be that Basketball became much like a show instead of sports. Well again, it all boils down to preferences.

i love basketball than other sports.i think it is because of the aggressive,very beautyand professional match,not same as football that one match just soccer one or two.

personally i don't think so dat basketball is above all........i live in a country where cricket is a religion...... but I think soccer is the sport above all others......basketball appears to be a game more popular in countries like US but soccer is played and loved everywhere
