When I was a young Clark still at home with my parents, my mother hated basketball. Not the sport, really, but the fact that it never seemed to end, so I was always watching it. Of course, back then it was just hyperbole from someone who was having to battle with her son to watch Law and Order re-runs.
These days, it is absolutely true. Once the NBA season ends, the draft is right around the corner, and once that ends, free agency starts. Even if you don't get in to the transaction intrigue, the WNBA puts basketball on the floor, and for those who hate women's sports, there is still international basketball every other Summer (Olympics start in a couple of weeks!). There is also the NBA Summer League which is going on right now.
