…but it still counts.
I’ve never been a huge basketball fan. I’d say the most I’ve watched it was when I was back visiting my mother a couple of years ago. And then, of course, I’d be watching the Milwaukee Bucks. Pretty much every game they played actually. And I enjoyed it quite a bit.
But still not enough to watch them regularly when I came back to Korea. Besides, being here I’m beholden to AFN scheduling. Which means I could count on seeing the Celtics, Lakers, Warriors, and this year, the Nets in just about every game they showed. It was rare to see the Bucks playing, and it was always when I was at work so I could never camp out in front of a TV and take it easy as a fan.
And then, today happened. And I had a feeling that they could actually win it. Being an “anything Wisconsin” sports fan, the Bucks were my team, even though my fandom was only in the fairest of weather. I couldn’t stand to watch the game actually. I did get to see the very end, and yet I would have been content just to check the results when it was over.
But it still counts. My favorite basketball team are the NBA champions, and I get to feel good about that too.
Congratulations to us all.
