Why no interest in the Rollers?

My true heroes comment came from the fact that before they can even reach the great heights they have in sport, they've had a huge hurdle to overcome in their disability. Lockstock you are right however that its not as entertaining to watch. If you separate the entertainment factor from the skill factor, you would have to agree they are pretty amazing.

Surely you can't help being amazed at what they can achieve against all odds. Not only in basketball but all the events. They are the true heroes of sport.

Paralympic events aren't widely followed because of the same reason the NBL isn't a leading sport in the country... no advertising.

You advertise the sport and you get a hook like the AFL's "I'd like to see that" or the A-League's "90 minutes, 90 emotions" and you'll get an audience.

Unfortunately my likeness to the sport is on similar wavelengths to lockstock. I prefer fast-paced sports with no downtime and unfortunately Wheelchair basketball isn't up there yet. (not until jet powered hoverchairs are invented)

Are there restrictions on DPs like in the past? Can they only play home games?
