The NBA is back in a big way. I have watched more NBA playoff basketball this year than I did the NCAA tournament. One reason for that is because the NBA playoffs last 56 weeks, but still I have been very interested. I watched this week like the Mavericks were still alive. In fact, the NBA is so good right now that there is only one thing that can stop the NBA from bringing us exciting basketball for the next decade, and that my friends is the NBA itself. What happened to the Suns is a joke. That series was going 7 games and everyone knows it. I mean you have the two best teams in the league right now battling each other for a shot at the conference finals and then David Stern steps in. Stoudemire and Diaw came off the bench. They looked like they were going to throw down. They should have been suspended. Yeah they should have been suspended if it were January. If that happens in the regular season, you make an example out of them and go on about it. You have to look at things with a little shade of grey. It doesn't have to be black and white at all times. The NBA is the closest thing to professional wrestling during the WWE's hayday of the late 90's. Incredible talent, great characters, amazing drama, and of course the scripted endings. David Stern = Vince McMahon. Ok wait a minute McMahon is ten times the marketer and promoter that Stern is. In fact, if McMahon took over and you told him that he couldn't script the ending, but he has full control, the NBA would be the best league in America. Only of course if Hacksaw Jim Duggan, King Kong Bundy and Tito Santana were officials for all the TNT broadcasts.
Speaking of TNT, Kenny, Charles and Ernie are the best in studio host of all time. Charles is must see tv. And I love the commercials with him and D-Wade. TNT does need to get rid of the show with Zo Mourning talking about heart transplants. I mean didn't he have like kidney transplants. Is there any reason that he is the spokesperson for this show. And honestly how are you going to have a whole show about heart transplants. That show is going to suck. Except of course if you have Hacksaw Jim Duggan, King Kong Bundy and Tito Santana all performing a heart transplant on a random patient and Charles calls one of em on the cell phone right when they are about to make a crucial incision and says "I'm sorry, were you busy?". Now that my friends is drama.
The Spurs are the dirtiest team in the league. Lets think about things a little. Ok I seem to remember last year about this time someone getting suspended from a playoff game against the Spurs. Yeah it was Jet Terry from the Mavs. Now granted he did punch Mike Finley in the man region, but I'm sure he was tired of being elbowed, kicked, and body checked by Bowen, Duncan, Ginobili, and Horry. When I think about the Spurs, my blood boils. I hate everything about them, except for their coach. Pop is a great coach. Bowen is dirty. Ginobili is dirt, and he flops and whines. Duncan is boring and wierd. Parker gets away with alot. Barry is a typical Barry. And then we get to Mike Finley. What a joke. Now he is a three-point specialist. Where was that when you were in Dallas? You couldn't shoot a lick from outside the arc, probably because you couldn't stop morphing yourself into Rolando Blackman. You became a jump shooting wimp that stopped taking it to the rack and Boom-Dizzling people at will. (From now on that is what dunks will be referred to by me, because what Baron Davis did to Kirilenko was disgusting) I hate Finley and I always will. I almost want to stop liking MJ because Finley likes him so much.
Ok we already have the list of sports figures that we love to hate, so you can continue to add to that, but I think a new topic for you guys to respond with is name me some of your favorite wrestlers from back in the day. Hopefully we can have something to throw around for a bit on here. Richter out
