    Hi Guys
    I realize this may be out of topic and totally inappropriate for a badminton forum, but i thought i'd give it a shot. I was wondering if anyone here have thought to put together a Basketball forum. Similar to this one but with basketball chat (NBA/WNBA/Amateur Leagues) as well as something like gyms to play at and such.. I do love badminton and i've played it ever since i was a wee one, but basketball has always been a much beloved team sport for me and i think a basketball forum would certainly be a very popular one.

    cheers
    Nite

    Then why don't you start your own basketball forum? :confused: Seriously.

    LOL i seriously would but working 9-5 on a regular job and then working on my own business has scarcely left me with enough time to play these two sports much less devote time to a site similar to this in terms of excellence and upkeep. It'd be sweet tho, to actually have a bball forum..

    Come to think of it where does Kwun find the time?

    Anyone seen the latest Harry Potter film and can guess the gadget I'm referring to?

    considering the popularity of basketball, it will be hard to believe that no basketball forums exists. you just have to look harder.

    if you seriously cannot find one, let me know, i will start one for you. haha. :)

    actually, starting one is not difficult, finding good members is the toughest part.

    hehe sounds awesome... that justbball.com page looks pretty good.. however maybe it's just me, but a page like BF feels so much more personal as there's localized countries where ppl get together to discuss and play.. something like that would be cool though they don't have much bball essentials (to me anyways) like coaching tips.. diff forums on footwork/practise drills/Local Gyms/places to play/equipment advisory/injury advisory/fashion *for player or playa`s*..

    Anyone else here think they'd like to be part of a bball forum?

    the other thing about starting a bball forum is that the initial participants must be passionate about the sport. this was how BC started, without lots of passionate fans, there would be no BC.

    and i am afraid, i am not passionate about bball at all.
