it wasn;t always a joke-it used to mean something
the refs calling star fouls,the three point game,no hand checks,free agency and beyond reality salaries,
the regular season games are now a reflection of halftime shows trampoline acts,cheerleaders like pole dancers
bigger arenas smaller reality,whip up the atmosphere crank up the music mortar the crowd with trinkets while they text and take selfies and imitate the cheerleaders
nba has become like reality tv and soon live games will become computer generated contests
cutting out the injuries and salaries
now i sound like an old timer and wanting to go back to football with real grass and open stadiums playing in mud baths and snowstorms-ny giants,green bay, the colts
old boston garden when home court was a big deal-freezing in the winter sweltering in summer
no corporate boxes-just crazy ,rabid fans and hot dogs and slices
rivalries bordering on war and hatred that was palpable-rodman and laimbeer bully ball
expansion and dilution has players around at 40
boxing out and use of the elbows to clear space,hard fouls or no fouls rebounding was war
i will never even think of a all star game again-
marcus is an all star
,avery is an all star
isaiah is an all star
,crowder is an all star
