Anyone here into Basketball (NBA)?

Shaquille O'Neal ruined basketball.

I thought that was Michael Jordon or is that Magic Johnson.

You're kidding, right?

I said "ruined" basketball. MJ and Magic both elevated basketball to new art forms. Droves of new fans began following basketball because of them. Whereas Shaq ruined basketball.... at least for me. Basketball used to be about consummate skills. Ball-handling, shooting, passing, etc. Then along comes "Big Butt" Shaq and turns basketball into a "give-me-the-ball-and-watch-me-use-my-ample-300-pound-butt-to-shove-people-out-of-the-way-while-I-get-close-enough-to-turn-around-and-dunk" shitty brand of basketball.

No, I was on about Baseball. Sorry.

Antetokounmpo is a special player


The Cavs and Warriors should still be the Finals, only this time I think GSW are too much for them.

It's ok. You gave me an opening to rant about Shaquille O'Neal.
