The NBA...Where Not Caring Happens.

Here's how much bigger football is than any other sport in America. The NBA tips off tomorrow night with the most interesting storylines in the preseason of any that I can remember and you know what? Nobody cares. Absolutely nobody cares. LA, the home of the defending champion Lakers and possible playoff-bound Clippers? Nope, everyone's talking about USC's big game at Oregon for Pac-10 supremacy. That game's also the biggest thing on the docket for sports fans in Portland, where the Blazers return the best young nucleus of players in the league. Cleveland, the home of the league's most exciting player and the player with the biggest personality possibly ever in Lebron and Shaq? No way, Terrelle Pryor's struggles and how the Buckeyes are going to overcome them are the main topic of conversation. Well, they must be talking about Dwight Howard and the defending Eastern Conference Champs in Orlando. After all, the Bucs stink! The answer is once again, NO! The entire state of Florida is consumed with the Gators, 'Noles, and 'Canes. I think you get the point. Football is king in America and every other sport just plays second fiddle.
