Well it isn't really. In primary school my teacher was a basketball player/fanatic and he collected basketball cards. He had one that was the only one in the world and we thought that was pretty cool. Anyway every Friday he would give away NBA cards and I always tried to collect Jason Kidd ones, that's pretty much what got me interested in the NBA. And he always lent me his NBA videos. (He was probably a pedophile now that I think about it ) :laughI had no idea NBA was popular in NZ/AUS. I know the market is big in Europe and China though.
There are like 8 Lakers fan in here!!
