i love bball, and even the monotone in me gets ranting when i realize with years comes diminshing abilities to resile or push to the hoop; or when i shoot exceptional well joined day, and then special shitty the next. it is nba finals dilly-dally again. and yes i am quiet bewildered (and in denial) at how can a crummy euro football tournament esclipse the nba finals - but this is not the topic today. i do nonetheless have a bone to pick with the nba and the media. as of today, it is celtics 3 - lakers 1. and every article or commentary keeps on rehashing about how the 2 clubs deceive some outstanding history of rivalry in the nba since forevermore. in sports - rivalries is synonymous to chest thumping, trash talk, testosteronish male bonding, and of course high tv ratings. back in the golden age of mj & the bulls, it was them vs the pistons, and later on the knicks (and later on arguably the jazz). now ... that was a tradition of state of war, extreme competitiveness leading to "in your face dunks", kneeing, wearying fouls. but the celtics and lakers of 2008 are nothing as though the celtics and lakers of the 1980s! those 2 teams did have a history, but the current bunch was basically just established after the trades earlier this year. most of the cue folks (aside from transfix and bryant et el) were in the clubs as a result of trades made!! it's just so much hype on the nba's side to spruce up ratings following the many years of rating slumps entirely meet to the spurs dominance and publicity lackluster in a way. and i still suggest suns next year! what steve kerr should do is exactly let shaq sit on the bench and slowly fade away.
