NBA. Forever. I just found this video on youtube and it’s a tie-up between NBA and TNT (Turner Network Television). For many years, I have been a huge fan of basketball - both NBA and PBA - and I’ve had the chance (and experience) to play for my high school’s varsity team… So, I guess you could say my interest in the sport has always been there. When I found this on the internet, I can’t help but feel this kind of nostalgia because some of the players shown in the video have long been retired basketball players.

I like how they showed how old school basketball was compared to the NBA we know of today - uniforms, teams and rosters may change annually but one thing remains: the love for the game. Basically, after watching this I just want to play basketball whenever I’m free because to me it’s more than just a sport - it’s a huge part of me.

Anyway, hehe sorry I don’t mean to sound too sentimental… I hope you’d like this video! :)

If you’re an NBA fan, it’s not a huge surprise that you’re suffering from NBA basketball withdrawal symptoms as of late. With the NBA looking like a complete goner for 2011-2012 - yes, that means missing the intense games, the rivalries and our own favorite players - Nike Basketball has come up with a brilliant idea: “Basketball Never Stops”. The whole idea of it, perhaps, is to gather every single basketball enthusiast from all over the world to share how they continue to keep the glorious sport (and the love for it) alive. Anyone can join simply by liking the Nike Basketball fan page on Facebook, and with that simple step, you can easily submit your basketball-related post and view other people’s stuff as well!

If you’d look closely at the screenshot, Nike Basketball says you just might “earn a surprise from the best players on the court”. What’re you waiting for? The NBA Lockout may have gone from bad to worse, but always remember… Basketball Never Stops.
