With the Sprint Center in progress, I personally think it is imperative that Kansas City get an NBA team (whether or not we also get an NHL team). This town is already crazy for college basketball, especially KU, but also MU and KSU. So the city is full of good, educated basketball fans who will love the NBA. It's just a matter of getting used to the style of play. But watching the Pistons-Cavs playoff matchup last night, I know that KC fans would LOVE having one of those teams represent us. KC would really get behind them.
I've heard critics talk about how they don't play defense in the NBA, or how the regular season doesn't matter. But I would argue that they have have not watched the NBA game closely enough. The skills that these athletes bring to the court every night is just thrilling. And there's no denying that having an NBA team makes your city "big league." So step up KC, push for an NBA team to come to town. Do I hear the KC Sonics?
