As many of the players who seem to be supportive of the “cancel culture”, I would be perfectly fine with canceling the NBA permanently...

Protesting the shooting for an ex-con, child molester, who resisted arrest, fought with cops, and was armed when shot by cops. I get it.

Is there a list of recent fake narratives by the left, from Ferguson on?

Why waste your time writing an article about it. Who cares.
Ignore the NBA

What does “NBA” stand for, and why should I care?

Cancel the NBA, period.

Rather watch EuroLeague games anyway. The crowds there are the real show.

I agree. If they don’t show the games, they may show Hee Haw re-runs instead.

Gloom, despair, and agony on me

Deep, dark, depression, excessive misery

If it weren’t for bad luck, I’d have no luck at all

I can remember when basketball was a fun game to watch...

https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1989-05-28-sp-1425-story.html

Had a lot of high school all Americans..

Riley would eventually star for Adolph Rupp at Kentucky and play in the NBA with the Lakers and the Suns.

The 6-3 junior forward was so good in high school, in fact, that Linton Coach Walter Przybylo expected him to take most of his team’s shots, especially at the end of close games.

The tactic almost invariably worked. With the help of another outstanding athlete who played at Linton in the late 1950s, future NBA player Barry Kramer, the school won 52 of 54 games in one stretch from 1958 to 1961.

My wife years ago suggested to only watch the final championship game in the supposedly last 5 minutes.

Her rationale:

1. Probably the best 5 minutes of the playoffs.

2. With all of the time outs, penalties and delays, that would cover a lot of real time, enough for us until the next year.

It worked.

We will read books during this year’s so called finals.

In 1920s Japan, most films--all silent, of course--did not use title frames to present dialogue. Instead, theaters hired benshi (弁士), narrators who described what was being shown on the screen. I remember reading somewhere that when movies started having sound, the benshi went on strike, saying that they would not return to theaters until the theaters stopped showing movies with sound.

That's what came to mind when I read this. If a basketball team goes on strike and no one clamors to watch them play, do the free throws count?

(Ditto baseball. I love baseball. LOVE baseball. Haven't watched a game this year. Haven't missed it. My team is in first place, and I don't care.)

No longer follow pro sports. The millionaire players need to look for another way to make money. Advocating for violence is a losing proposition.
