You’ve heard them say “are you ready for some football?!” Well, here are some reasons why you should be too!

The NCAA is chock full of hotties and edge-of-the-seat exciting. And come March, “it’s gonna be awesome, baby!”

I will admit that when it came time to make a list of why girls should watch the NBA, I had a really hard time. But that’s because I adore basketball and don’t really understand why girls–or guys—wouldn’t watch it! But after careful collaboration with my trusted confidantes we came up with a list that will turn the NBA on TNT into Must See TV!

1. Seriously Rich Guys. The NBA boasts the highest professional sports salaries. The average is about $5 million. That’s just the average! Kevin Garnett is making $24 million and Allen Iverson, Jason Kidd, Kobe Bryant and Shaq are all pulling in over $20 million salaries. Per year. And that’s before endorsements which draw in tens of millions also. Just to shoot a ball in a hoop. If nothing else, learn the sport so you will be b’ball savvy when husband hunting these money makers!
