/sp/artan here.

We were just wondering what sports you enjoy. Also...your favourite team, player and the reasoning behind all three.

Please respond.

Can't wait for the Euro's.

Oh Hi /sp/

In hike-school I participated in some of the standards. Baseball, soccer, basketball, golf. Basketball in college, got into distance running. Still endurance running even now.

What do you like to read /sp/?

What is sports?

>> No.2699934

I've always been a fan of DOING athletics rather than following professional teams/spectating. I've always been a cyclist, but I sure as hell don't watch races on tv or even do races. I commuted to school, then work. for a couple years, if you take a broad view of the term, I was a pro athlete in the sense that my sole source of income was as a bike messenger. If you consider whitewater sports "official," then I did the hell out of them, too (open canoe) and then was a raft guide for a while. Some fencing and skateboarding, too.

So, yeah, I'm athletic as hell but not really into sports as they're usually understood. Was always a weirdo/artfagy guy, never interested in team sports/competition.

but all that said, NBA action is faaaaaan-tastic. I grew up with the Pistons' Bad Boy team, which was pretty awesome.

He's the rising star with defense and athleticism

I'd like to see them trash Stoudemire and SMIFF, so that they can more effectively pair melo, chandler, shump and lin with a good vet PG (Nash?) and some good rooks for next season.
