What's new

How long have you been here?

On the bright side, I pretty much never come here anymore.

The older I get, the less I find myself caring about sports. I still follow, still enjoy it, but I have better things to do with my time now.
Ditto.
The NBA is my last sport. I’ve completely stopped watching everything else. And, frrreal, I wish I could quit the nba.

I still got the NFL and college football, but I only watch my teams. And with college football, it's really just the local team because we're small so I feel more connected.

For some reason i have similar feeling. I was born in 1975, started to watch sports events around '83-'84. Mainly winter sports and around '88 also basketball. Mainly our local team in Soviet Union premier league (12 teams, Estonian team was at that time between 6-12 and got the last Soviet Union championship being the only team with a foreign player, Georges Jackson https://news.postimees.ee/3684203/estonia-s-ussr-basketball-triumph-celebrated ). Around '89-'90 i started to occasionally watch Formula One and Indycar races from the Finnish TV. Indycar had a Tero Palmroth at that time. When the borders and TV possibilities open up, then i tried to watch all broadcasted important basketball and soccer games and also all the Formula One races. After Schumacher retired i started to lose interest in Formula One and i have to say that nowadays i do not even bother to watch those long NBA highlights (8-10 minute long). Maybe it is the age, maybe i believe that why root for a team for which i have no connections etc etc. While being a single i did a lot of cycling, sometimes even legs longer than 100 km. However, now i am more happy to have 10 km rides with my daughter than cycling alone a longer distance.

I largely agree. I care less than I did 5 years ago. I still care about the Jazz a lot, but I devote less energy to it.

That connection is the thing. That’s what’s kept me with the Jazz. The Jazz are literally the only large, cultural force I can remember from my youth which brought almost the entire community together. And we were so ****ing proud of Stockton and Malone, man.

The DWill-Boozer years almost killed my interest. But it’s obviously rebounded since then.

Those were good years, too, though with struggles. I think you meant the Jefferson-Corbin era.

Nah, I meant DWill-Boozer. The years just after them weren’t great, obviously, but at least we were no longer capped at mediocrity and a new order was getting sorted out. Jefferson was awful to watch, for sure.

I think that team had a lot more potential, the problem was KOC kept bringing back the exact same roster. A couple tweets would have gone a long way.
