Americans think it suck, cause they suck at it

I played it for nine years. Still sucks as a sport. Unless you like badly ran, corrupt sports that has very little parity despite being the sport that should have the most random variation.

Badly Run? what are you referring to?

Corrupt Sports? Every Sport has some of corruption going on.

I dont understand what you mean by "despite being the sport that should have the most random variation"

Harlem Globetrotters. Those guys have been winning for years.

As much as I hate to admit it and loathe it, it's definitely a pro soccer team in Europe.

Low scoring games like soccer and hockey have a naturally higher chance at upsets. However, despite upsets being easier in soccer out of any other team sport, they have the least amount of parity. This is a class A example of a badly run league.

NBA should have the least amount of variation in their top teams, which it does for the sports that matter, but soccer has less parity and that's frankly embarrassing for soccer.

How are the Lakers above the Celtics?

Last time I checked Celtics had 17, with the Lakers one behind.

If you look at it even closer the Lakers first 5 weren't even as the LA Lakers, they were the Minnesota Lakers.

So it really should be Boston Celtics 17, LA Lakers 11.

It's clearly the Dallas Cowboys. Anybody that argues that is either a liar or a moron.
