9 Reasons NBA Is Better Than NHL

We all miss the NHL and there’s only so far #SabreSim2012 can take us.

Face it.  It’s time to try to make friends with the NBA.

Here’s the good news.  There’s a reason LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, and Dirk Nowitzki are stars.   As the rest of country is aware, night in and night out, the NBA is churning out a better product than the NHL.

Here are 9 reasons to give the NBA a shot.

1. You’ll learn the important players quickly.  Watch any team for 15 minutes and form an opinion  because the stars are on display at all times.  No waiting around for Ryan Nugent-Hopkins to take his thirty four second shift.  With 12 man rosters (typically containing 8 players that matter), you’ll be up to speed on the majority of the league in no time.
2. The game looks and sounds great.  That 82 inch LED TV that you’re about to buy?  Yeah, that’s for watching this.
3. TNT’s studio show with Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, and Kenny Smith is the best in sports…  by a lot.
4. The Draft!  Only 2 rounds long, features plenty of guys you already know if you watch the college game, and trades galore.
5. Embrace the NBA and you can talk sports with people who live more than 5 miles south of Canadian border.
6. It’s a game you’ve played.  Your gym class was held on a basketball court, not an ice rink.
7. Americans are still the best in the world at basketball and the best of the best play in this league.  ’Merica!
8. You’ll feel cooler.
9. They decided to have a season this year.
