Basketball is the world's second biggest sport, but before until now my knowledge of the game went little further than Zac Efron's portrayal in High School Musical and Seventeen Again.
In fact, my knowledge of most spectator sports only stretches as far as the Olympics and the occasional England football match during one of the big tournaments. I'd certainly never been to any sort of live sporting event.
So, in an effort to do something I would never usually do, I headed to Plymouth Pavilions with my brother to watch the Plymouth City Patriots take on the Bristol Flyers.
