Last week, bored with nothing on the tube, I watched StreetBall, I couldn't find any rules for the players.

Far as I could tell, the rules were "get noticed, never EVER pass the ball because then someone ELSE would get noticed, refuse to play anything remotely resembling defense, talk smack, and oh.. yeah, get noticed." "Team" is not a concept in StreetBall.

When you... wait a second... you could take what I just wrote, replace "StreetBall" with "NBA", and it still makes sense. No WONDER this incredibly embarrassing loss occurred.

Regardless of their level of "professionalism" (and it makes me giggle like a damn schoolgirl to use the word professionalism in regards to NBA players. They may be professionals, but they don't exhibit an ounce of professionalism), until we get players who understand the concept of playing as a team instead of the "hey look at me, can I have an endorsement deal now?" ideal they're playing under at the moment, this will happen again and again.
