I don't like basketball either. The constant squeaking drives me nuts. It's like nails down a chalkboard or rubbing two pieces of styrofoam together.
I just don't get the appeal. Way too much scoring and showboating. It's one thing in a sport like hockey or soccer to celebrate a goal which is a relatively rare event, but when a team gets 40 to 50 baskets in a game, there is no point in swinging from the basket and puffing out your chest like you just did something awesome. Most of the time, I think they try to make it harder than it is.
Having said that, it's easy enough for me to ignore. I don't think I have watched anything basketball related in years. I couldn't even name 5 current NBA players.
