Guy, go and watch the best of Australian Rules footy.
Seriously, just get some beverages and watch a whole season of a sport you don't know and try to work out the rules as you pick a team to follow.
Aussie Rules is a dead-set beut game, with lots of the things you like about basketball. There is high mobility with an emphasis on ball handling skills and teamwork.
Pick and choose chronological games from this play list.
For bonus points get a decent aussie meat pie and eat it with tomato sauce. Make yourself some meat pies for the match. You can expand your culinary horizons at the same time you detox from b-ball.
I agree with you, but a lot of sports is about tradition/history. I used to watch American Football with my dad when I was a kid. Aussie Football I'd just be alone in my room.

I'll call your Australian football and raise you Finnish baseball.
That's a thing. And it's great.
I'm not wasting hours being a vegetable watching sportsball, even if it's run by a penal colony. I will be stealing that recipe, though.

So start a tradition to share with your son. Plan a trip to Melbourne to watch a live game.
Or go back to watching clowns kneel while the team owners continue to take the piss
Up to you. But you have choices
Do you know that the USA cricket and rugby teams are world class?
