Wed, 02 Dec 2009 11:59:29 +0000 http://mybasketball.co.za/?p=1457#comment-3379 One of the most important questions, in my opinion, for South African basketball is "why play basketball"? The answer to this question will define what you hope to achieve, what the micro achievement milestones are, what is in it for those who play basketball or come to watch basketball and who you are trying to get to play basketball or come to basketball games. For example what are you trying to achieve by playing basketball; are you trying to be the best in the town, city, country, continent or world? Are your trying to keep kids of the street or is weekend fun? etc. Contrast this with other sporting codes in South Africa. What is in it for those who come to watch? Basketball is treated like a minnow, uncompetitive, little honour sport in South Africa, so why should people come to watch? There is feeling of "I was there". You read newspapers, look on the internet beyond mybasketball, tv except for wheelchair bball, radio to try to find what or who won or did what, you get virtually nothing. It's as if basketball is a national "who cares" sport. Why does a person have to pay $ on an external website to get detailed info about SA basketball. You have a national tournament, you struggle to even find out where it is. Once again "who cares". Maybe if somebody cares, bball will get a massive revival. Sad...
