Personally I wouldn't want any of those. He's your man and you know him best, why are you asking random dudes on a forum what they would like?
If he wants any of those things they would be acceptable. Most men don't care about cologne though.
Ummm because it is nice to hear a man's perspective sometimes. No different than a man asking women for advice on what a nice gift for a woman would be (because sometimes the gender you are buying for might have a little insight into what would be good versus what would be awesome).
Additionally, as someone who doesn't really keep up with basketball, I wouldn't have any idea which game to buy him tickets for and he would have probably ended up at a really lame game because of it. I didn't think it would be such a big deal to ask for advice.
