Fear the deer.
The NBA ?
What’s that ?
The NBA finals has taken place?
Didn’t even know its started. And I couldn’t care less about it.
NBA? I hope they starve. Along with NFL and MLB. (I was a huge baseball fan. Not anymore)
There is a lot of rot in society. There is a lot of rot in entertainment. There is a lot of rot in sports. But when really shining examples of the American Dream occur - in the midst of a 50-point game to boot - it would be shameful to ignore it.
Waiting for a conga line of FReepers to post "I don't care about basketball" or "sports are dead to me" or "I haven't watched TV in years" et al in 3....2....1....
Looks like everyone is chanting sig heil!
Thug-ball.
This is why the left keeps winning. You people can’t give up your pathetic addictions to muh sportsball.
Muh sportsball
He tried to run to the arena for a game after realizing he'd sent all of his money -- including cab fare -- back to his family in Greece only to hitch a ride from a pair of fans.
Reminds me of a similar story from the NHL's New Jersey Devils some years ago. They had a couple of injuries and an illness run through the team and needed to call up a young defenseman from their minor league team in upstate New York. He had never played in the NHL before. He threw his gear into his old, beat-up car to drive the 2-3 hours down to New Jersey for the game that night. His car broke down in the Vince Lombardi Service Area on the New Jersey Turnpike, and he would have missed the game ... but a group of fans heading to the arena found out about his plight and took him with them.
It's coming. France is starting to become a basketball factory. Less than half of NBA players will be Americans in the near future. College Basketball won't be the funnel anymore, it will be Euro Leagues.
The media is quiet on the masklessness. Were it a Trump rally it would be frontpage news.
And especially amongst the youth in Canada, basketball is replacing Hockey. And in Europe Basketball is quickly catching up with Soccer.
They are the clowns in Cesar’s circus and don’t even know it.
“This is why the left keeps winning.”

Another reason, take a look at this story and see how many people can’t see past the gay bureaucrat.

The identity politics, the left/right paradigm, and so much else is just more circus meant to divide and distract.
This year’s NBA finals will be the second or third lowest rated ever with just over nine million watching each game. Compare that to the 31 million that watched game seven of the NBA finals in 2016. Why do you think so many have tuned out? Because they don’t appreciate the league ramming left-wing propaganda down their throats?
