For me, the NCAA tournament is very exciting basketball to watch--especially to see the talent that will be moving on to the NBA. March Madness always features really great finishes and upsets and lots of emotion. Great fun to watch. However, basketball is never played at a higher level than by the elite teams in the NBA. As a basketball fan, I can't help but enjoy both. Besides, if a person only watched the NCAA, that person would never see Kobe Bryant, Kevin Garnett, or LeBron James, to name three of the greatest players in the universe who never suited up for a university. Maybe there's less romance, but I get the same rush watching the NBA playoffs as I do the tournament.
