i fully realize that the only 'real' sport is soccer football, and that the only sport for 'real men' is rugby football...
however, as a tall sissy, i am also a fan of that favorite sport of tall sissies (if you dont think most hoops players are sissies, watch next time marcus camby throws a punch!!). college ball is a simple universe for me---carolina (UNC) and whoever's playing duke are my favorite teams no matter what. i went to carolina for undergrad, it's contractual obligation.
but as far as the nba goes, i realize the league has its flaws and there are a high number of absolute knuckleheads in the game, but hey i'm an addict. i follow the preseason moves, etc. and i'm more a fan of good hoops than a follower of a favorite team (historically though my first team was the knicks, the second team the sixers, so my early life sucked ass).
i am quite pleased at shaqsquatch's move to miami, and he even lost some weight (FOR A CHANGE). i can't wait to see kobe wantz sink the fakers now that he is the man (more like manchild) in LA....
my EARLY pick for the finals is miami beating minnesota, but i wont lock the pick until the season starts.
anyone got any picks, comments, hoops-bashing, etc... please chime in otherwise i'll just sit here alone on this thread and collect dust....
