This is whats wrong with basketball
Hello my friends, it is I, The handsome righthander. I have returned to show regret in the passing fo good basketball. Evidence of it can be seen everywhere. First, the New York Knicks suck for years, and they tank on purpose for 2 years in order to land LeBron, and wind up with Amare Stoudamire? Then, in an off-season with mega free agents, Joe Johnson winds up withthe biggest contract? Joe Johnson? Are you kidding me? Lebron decides that being the third option on a star-studded team will result in him earning respect and admiration for being a champion. The Knicks still suck, and they look to add Carmelo Anthony and Chris Paul, two players who need the ball 75% of the time to be effective. Unless the Knicks run 150% of the plays through those guys, they will suck for evermore.
Next we go to Firestone Fieldhouse at Pepperdine University. Why Pepperdine? Because I have not ever heard of "you- cla" or U C L A. In the clip, we see a 6-3 player dunk over seven people, the crowd goes nuts, and they are awarded the championship automatically. Wait, no, they are not. Last Year Keion Bell averaged 21 points, mostly on dunks. And he was dominant in leading his team to a 7-24 record. In other words, they sucked donkey balls like the Green Bay Packers, or the aforementioned New York Knicks. This guy is all dunk, no fundamentals. This guy is like Ronnie Fields for the new generation. I predict he has a 2 yr NBA careers because his defense and freethrows suck, and he goes on to amaze crowds at the NBDA, And 1 mixtape tour, and your local Boys and Girls Club in that order. In the mean time, I will lament the shift towards athletic but morally corrupt individuals, and away from winning a championship with teamwork and defense. All that being said, the dunk was nice, but he pulled a Miles Austin and catapulted over the tallest guy using his hands. Also, he dunked over a midget, so that should only count as half a person. If it were a gnome, or dwarf, it would have been spectacular.
