I enjoy all NBA Basketball and especially the Toronto Raptors. Whether it is the salary cap, player development, roster construction, player asset value, trade nuances, I love analyzing all the moves around the margins that most times are the difference between an appearance in the finals and being bounced in the 2nd round.
