3D NBA |
The Sonics days are numbered in Seattle and I haven’t cared about the NBA very much the last five years. Seems like too many thugs and too few stars in the sport for my liking. The whole King (Lebron) James thing is mildly interesting. So what does the NBA do to get people interested?
Start toying with 3D.
A select group of sports fans will watch the National Basketball Association All-Star game on Sunday in the first-ever live high-definition 3D sports telecast that NBA officials hope will create a buzz about profiting from the new technology.
I would like to see this expanded to all professional sports. Imagine going to a movie theater and watching a 3D game. The ball coming at you as it goes out of bounds? I like it. Speaking of theaters, we’re heading out shortly to check out Ghost Rider. Motorcycles and fire, vrrrrrrroooom. That would be cool in 3D too, come to think of it.
I’m a sucker for 3D and wish it was used even more. Are you a 3D fan?
Did this post make you go hmm?





NASCAR is doing the same thing (I am emphatically not a NASCAR fan. Couldn’t watch it if I tried, even if I am a Southerner). I do like Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr., as persons, though.
Sunday, viewers can watch the Daytona 500 on Fox and online at nascar.com in 3-D. At nascar.com they can watch it in three different views: from above, behind, and in front.

I’m not a NASCAR fan either, don’t see the thrill in watching cars race around in a circle at fast speeds, but to each his own. Don’t like watching golf or tennis either. I can appreciate skill in any sport, but whether or not it’s a good spectator sport is a whole other enchilada.
