So, during this exciting season, I know many of you out there are wondering how I feel about Basketball. Well, I'll tell you - I think it's stupid. Now, don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good, hard-fought college game, but I find the NBA to be borderline intolerable. Why, you might ask? Because laziness is rewarded - these players are some of the most phenomenal athletes in the world, not to mention the most immense, and they flop around like rag dolls when there's the slightest contact. "Draw a foul?" Despicable words. The worst part is that they get rewarded for moving just enough to make someone bump into them and then falling over like a baby. There is not another sport out there that encourages not trying to make a play (unrelated - NASCAR is not a sport and the drivers are not athletes). I know I'm not alone in thinking that this is ruining the game - in fact, click right here to listen to Commissioner (I totally want to have the title "Commissioner" before I die) David Stern talking about the flop on the Dan Patrick show. And if you don't believe that it's a problem, behold! The clip below will surely show you your error.
Maybe I just don't love basketball as much as this a-hole (on the right - he looks kind of familiar), or maybe I just can't revert to child-like wonder as easily as him. Oh well, I just hope Jack Nicholson doesn't read this and attack my car with an umbrella. Oh, and I couldn't decide which of these pictures to include, so here's another picture of Kobe Bryant.
