Do I like it?
It's not not enjoyable.

Am I the least likely of anyone in the area to do so?
Oh yeah! I can count on my fingers how many times I have, and never in a game, just when practicing on my own during PE.

I haven't play in ages - the last time I did was 14 years ago or so.
And I can't say I liked it - I generally was not good at team sports (I was the last one picked for the teams and they rarely threw balls to me, although I wasn't that bad at throwing them in if i actually got a ball) and I was even worse with practice because I couldn't get my legs right (there was something like "1-2-3-4 and throw!" or something, you needed to throw while in a specific position after going a few steps, it never worked for me because I couldn't count and run at the same time).

But I was really happy once when, during a recess sport class ("Just do whatever you want") one of stray balls from the crowd near the basket got to me when I was more than a half of field away, by the door and I threw it right into the basket... behind my back.
I picked the ball up, turned around so I couldn't even see the crowd nor the basket and threw the ball blindly behind my back, using a lot of strength (I didn't care where and who it hits, I was angry - I left the crowd in the first place because they were being rude to me).
I turned around to see where it is going and surprisingly - it got in! Others only saw a ball going over their heads and getting into the basket. They were asking "Who threw it?" but noone believed me when I said "I did". So it stayed a mystery.
Unfortunately I've never been able to repeat it. It was pure luck. But it looked/felt so cool!

Sort of like this one:

I wasn't any good at them either, but they were still the funniest part of PE.

No. I don't need more embarrassment.
