Basketball has bored me post John Starks headbutting Reggie Miller. I have no interest in basketball.

Soccer for sure. Entertaining leagues all over the world, so many tournaments and I love the USMNT.

Worldwide, people find soccer more exciting.

But personally, I'd take basketball over footy.

I enjoy both, but soccer is my top game because I grew up playing it. I never touched a basketball until I was 13, I cant remember a time in my life I wasnt playing soccer, so obviously I connect more to it as even a spectator.

To me, basketball is much more exciting.... Faster paced, more contact, full use of hand/foot/jumping (flying) skills.... I've attended pro soccer and pro basketball games and the basketball games are MUCH more exciting in my town. But then again, I got to watch Michael Jordan play in his prime and win championships while growing up in Chicago. Probably few Chicagoans would pick soccer over that....
