So throughout my life, I've kind of been making a mental, basketball-specific bucketlist, or as I've started calling it, a basketball pilgrimage that I want to make at some point in my life. Curious what all of you think/would suggest adding. Here's what's on mine so far:
It has to start in Indiana. Bill Simmons has argued Indiana is the Mecca of basketball, and I'd have to agree (as I normally do, so I'm biased)
-Go to French Lick, Indiana
-Go to Milan, Indiana, the place where Hoosiers was filmed
-Go to a Purdue-Indiana game
-Go to a Butler game
-Go to an Indiana State game
-Go to a Pacers-Knicks game
Other things:
-Go to a Duke-UNC game
-Go to a Xavier-Cincinnati game
-Go to a Iowa-Iowa State game
-Go to a Kentucky-Louisville game
-Go to some of the Big 5 games in Philly (St. Joseph's, Villanova, La Salle, Temple, and Penn)
-Tour/experience all the most popular park basketball courts in New York. Street basketball has a fascinating history. If you don't know about it, I highly recommend checking out the documentary Doin' It In The Park.
-Go to a Celtics game in the Garden
-Check out the Washington D.C. streetball scene
-Go to a Georgetown game
-Go to some Chicago high school games, namely Simeon, St. Jospeh, and Fenwick
-Go to a Bulls-Pistons game
-Go to a Clippers-Warriors game
-This is more unrealistic, but I would like to see basketball in Lithuania and other parts of eastern Europe. They're diehard basketball people there.
What have I missed/what would you add?
