I Love This Game!!!

Its Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!....dont get me wrong, i love me some football! Football is prolly the hardest and complicated and most grueling and respectable sport out there (in my opinion of course) but nothing and i mean NOTHING compares to basketball. Yup, thats right the N-B-Fuckin-A is back, bitches!!




Yesterday was the opening night, and it did not disappoint. First game was a good one. The reigning NBA Champions, Boston Celtics returned to defend their crown against the Cleveland Lebron Jameses LOL! Cuz lets be fuckin honest, the cavs have the most unevenly distributed "good" team in the league. Without Lebron, these fuckers wouldnt get 30 wins. It was a good game, with the Celtics holding court for the 1st win.




I love basketball sooo much. Maybe because i used to play it seriously (like every other black male in this country) and had serious hoop dreams but my 5'8 height put an end those dreams quick LOL! If I could I would watch every single 82 regular season game of every team. Im obssesed with the game, with the players, with the stats, the plays, the heart and the history of this game. If it were up to me, heaven would be a female, coronas and the basketball game....thats all i really need. The athleticism and the intelligence and the skills these players possess is mind blowing. What they can do with a basketball in their hand (or without) is just simply amazing and should be put into test tube and studied by Govt scientist. Tracy McGrady, Kobe, Chris Paul, Kevin Garnett, Vince Carter, Baron Davis, Steve Nash, Allen Iverson, Dwayne Wade, Dirk, Paul Pierce, Carmelo...I could really go on and on and on. And im not even goin to name some of the legends...okay since YOU twisted my arm...(i had to!) Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, Dr. J, Wilt Chamberlain, Reggie Miller, Charles Barkley, Hakeem, DAVID Robinson, Jerry West, George GERVIN, Scottie Pippen, Isaiah Thomas, Larry Bird, Oscar Robertson. Okay Im done! Ive watched basketball and have known everything about since i can remember. a lil kid just wanting emmulate every move and every shot. For Christ sakes, I wear Red & Black every chance I get now because of the Chicago Bulls and Michael Jordan. I have SOOOOOOOO much Jordan apparel and Jordan shoes its bird flu sick. Thats how much of an impact basketball and the Chicago Bulls, specifically, have had on my life!...



James Naismith is a fuckin mad crazy genius! He created the game of basketball back in fuckin 1891!! Can you believe that?? okay lets think about that for a second....1891??!! really...he was a Canadian physician..its 2008...for some reason "way ahead of his time" just doesnt do him any justice LOL! What kinda shit was he smokin to make him think of a game like basketball? of course its been advanced by other people but still, that shit is other worldy...wish i could think out the box like him or smoke whatever he was smokin to take his thought process there...anyway i digress...



The story line of this game and the drama that unfolds in the playoffs is unlike any other excitement out there (except maybe March Madness) not even the Superbowl is touching the NBA playoffs in my opinion. Seeing the best athletes and best teams in the world eliminate each other until its the best versus the best in the game of basketball is exhiliarting! The power and grace and creativity these atheletes possess make it so you CANNOT turn your head for one second or you might miss the greatest highlight you've ever seen.



Of course i think the "Jordan" ERA was the best era of basketball, because it has the athleticism, talent and pinache of today's NBA but the grit, heart, fundamentals and work ethic of the past! They played the game the way it was supposed to be played without all the extra shit that goes on today. REAL players not bitch ass players now complaining about their fuckin signing bonus and holding out for all of training camps. Real ass players like Gary Payton, Alonzo Mourning, Tim Hardaway, Penny Hardaway, Clyde Drexler, Karl Malone, Kevin Johnson..Rivalries meant something....God I miss those times....but Basketball. Buzz Beaters...3..2...1....Game Over, Bitches!! Get Like Me!!!
