I generally agree with this.
I'm not a passionate basketball fan (for me, hockey & football compete for #1, baseball is #3 and basketball is #4), but I have gone to the AUS final four tournament several times in Halifax, and am an occasional attendee at Moncton Miracles games.
There is no question that basketball, more so than the other sports that I have listed has to be seen live to be appreciated. The whole experience includes the dancers and the mascots and if the game is close, the fans in the stands really feed and build on the excitement on the court. Watching on TV just isn't the same thing.
I appreciate CIS and NBL basketball. It just has to be seen live. I haven't attended a Raptors game yet, but it's on my bucket list. It will be interesting to see what the live game day experience is like at a Raptors game.......
