why do boys like basketball so much?

The action in the sport. Baseball can be boring, football is too much like being raped in jail, hockey is for aggressive criminals, and boxing is for people who don't mind getting their asses kicked. Basketball is interesting and if played correctly won't cause pain. If feels good to hit a jumpshot. If feels even better to dunk the ball and crossover someone.

Um, boys that think it's a "girly sport" are boys that know that they couldn't play it well if they tried.  They are more suited for football where they can rest every 10 seconds.  Men understand that soccer is probably in the top three truly grueling sports in the world (the others being rugby and cross country skiing.)

So they can overpower their opposition and score points easier. Simple. Size matters in basketball.

cos they r bored...they dont have any other stuff to do.they try to attract attention...so if u actually noticed that "boys act all kool and stuff"..then they allready got the attention they wanted.

The players play for pride making emotion a bigger part of the game. Games are more exciting because teams actually play defense. I can't stand watching all the showboating in the NBA and College ball doesn't seem to have all that.

I love the game because no matter where I am I can find a pick up game or someone to play some one on one with.  Also it is pretty easy for someone to learn how to play.  It is great for cardio, works on your hand eye coordination, and it's just fun.\n\nI love to watch basketball to see guys in the NBA do things I can only dream of doing.  It is a game of skill, and often has much more style then other sports.\n\nIt truley is a GREAT game!

Because they're usually right handed, and thus have more room to spike the ball across the court for a higher percentage shot.

Because guys dominate the sport.

it is amazing..how so many wanna be people...need a leader of the pack to enjoy a sport.  It is amazing how so many people can not respect a group of guys like themselves (humble and talented) who are awsome at the game of basketball.  It is amazing how we place the Kobe and the LaBroms of the world higher than anything or anyone.  Do they not talk and walk like the rest of us?  The Detroit Pistons are a great talented team and do not need a STAR because they are all STARS.

a basketball will bounce the highest of these objects because it is mad of a harder material whose material will retain its shape more readily than the others. also it has higher air pressure inside.

it is important to have atleast a few similar qualities. almost every guy likes atleast one sport, and you have named some of the bigger ones, so most sports guys would like that they can watch a game with you and not have to deal with nagging. laughter is always a positive also. most men love to laugh, i know i do. but that isn't all that factors into it. bottom line is that every body is girlfriend/boyfriend material for somebody else, not everybody else, but somebody else.
