I stopped giving a shit about basketball when they got rid of the 35 second clock. I liked long possesions with an offensive rebound with 2 on the shot clock and kick it out for another long posssesion. That was awesome. The current basketball fans can fuck off forever. I hope basketball NEVER returns.

Glad I focus on the players, not the fans.

BIRDIE sounds sour.

And that's his right.

I love the game of basketball and its many forms.

Dean Smith's Four Corners.


Also called "Ford Corners" to pay homage to UNC point guard Phil Ford.

Halftime score: Duke 7 North Carolina 0.

The 7-0 halftime score came in the 1978-79 ACC season.

That's not a score from the 1950's or '60's.

In 1982, Notre Dame played Kentucky in an NCAA basketball game.

In one possession, the Fighting Irish made 213 passes before attemping a shot.

It was RAILBIRD's first erection.

if you have seen 1 basketball game you have seen them all, its 1 big AAU style cluster@#$% now. jack up 3s and refs calling touch fouls on defenders, iso hero ball. Id can still beat it, but i find now joy in watching, ufc,xfl,pga have more beauty.,

I focus on the Raptors, not the Rapture.

But I agree with Birdie on the emergence of AAU basketball creating a "hero ball" style.

It was once reported Kobe Bryant sabotaged his high school games in the first half so he could play hero and savior in the second half.

The NBA is as much entertainment as it is competitive sport.

After all, the NBA has an entertainment division.

NBA Entertainment was founded in 1982.
