so went to my first NBA game, it was christmas day with defending champions Miami vs Lakers. As a kid I watched alot of NBA but after Jordan and Barkley and kool and the gang retired i sort of lost interested.
Anyway what I found disappointing was how no one in the Arena seemed to be a fan of either team. There was no passion for the game, I expected Lakers fans flying from Los Angeles cheering for their team but I saw almost nobody, and it was a pretty big game. It's all a show for television.
I hoped for something like in the english premiership where fans go crazy singing, shouting, cheering, booing, CARING, but you're forced to just sit there keeping your cool and occasionally standing up for soldiers of the war and the anthem.
Anyway it was a good trip and americans are extremely nice people, almost too nice!

After losing 2 games in a row or so, Schalke 04 played against Fc Bayern Munich. Schalke was the home team and 'cause they lost the latest matches, the fans wanted to state their disappointment by being silent for 19:04mins (the team was founded in 1904).
Guess, what happend ... 19th minute, everybody's cheering up, which means 50.000 ppl screaming their lungs out ... 19:04min GOAL for Schalke and all hell broke loose.
I'm not a fan of Schalke, but that was kinda impressive.
*EDIT*
Here's a link. I think it's just the goal, but ...
