I’d really like to get into the sport and I’m looking for tips such as where to watch (old) games and learn about interesting history.

    A channel like Thinking Basketball will help you ease into being a fan of the game itself at a higher level. It will make it more exciting to be a fan of any team, as you’ll be able to break down what’s happening. It is normally such a blur to the untrained eye, whereby you end up ball watching instead, while most of the game actually happens off ball.

      To add to that, you can generally find podcasts on your fave teams on spotify/youtube etc.

      They can be a mix of entertainment and analysis, and I enjoy listening to the discussions and comparing to my own stupid takes. They often explain things around eg, trades, taxes and caps etc so that normal humans can understand it too.

      Just be prepared for the endless betting ads…
