No you are all wrong, it's basketball. Basketball is the sport for high people. If you ever play it stoned you will know what I'm talking about. Amazing game. And watching it is the same. Watching the Jazz on a good day makes me happy honestly because it's like watching a boxer that is technically perfect like Lamont Peterson. I like the Jazz I always have except when they knocked my Warriors out of the playoffs. They play basketball great, great cuts off the ball and one of the better motion offenses of all time.
But off that. Basketball is amazing and so many people don't realize the diversity of it. Compare the Warriors to the Spurs or the Suns from a couple years ago with Joe Johnson to the Pistons. You watch them play and it's such different brands of basketball. Well first of all, the Spurs play basketball like it's hockey and there is an offsides line. Almost all of their offense is out of the half court set. That's why people don't like the Spurs because it's not interesting when the ball gets slowed down every single it time it passes half court. But at the same time, there is a great skill involved in all of it because that means they have to be extremely efficient on the offensive end while still committing to defense on the other end. They are like a good hockey team that doesn't need to rely on the powerplay. Anything the Spurs get on the break is a bonus.
But then you look at the Warriors and the Suns from a couple years ago, it is up and down, up and down, up and down especially the Warriors. It's like they are playing different sports.
I miss the WarriorsThose back to back games with the Lakers were GREAT, my two favorite games of the season and the Nuggets ruined a rematch in the playoffs. Fuck the Nuggets. Three great games with the third ruined by Bob Delaney

Pistol Pete had moves at LSU that most would still kill for today. Rafer Alston pulled that fake behind the back agaisnt the Knicks and everyone went crazy because it was Skip To My Lou. Marovich pulled controlled the break with better ball handling skills then anyone in history. I would kill to see him play in college today.
But today's game of basketball is great. I know everyone has affection for the old school but the players today are so ridiculously good that it's not even funny. Look at Joe Johnson in Atlanta, he has been electric these playoffs and imagine if Pheonix had him, he looks like one of the best players in the game. I know Paul and Howard get the headlines but Johnson is right there in the break out star category.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=vhGeQWOHwHQCheck out those drives to the lane, he is slicing through the defense in the paint with 4 other guys against the best defensive team in basketball and he's tearing them up. I don't know why they don't run more isos with Johnson because there is no single player that can guard him if he has that mid range jumpshot working. Hopefully tonight they will cut out the high ball screens that just don't work versus Boston because they can defend from the inside out and give him the top of the court to himself, spread it out watch him work his magic. And check out that crossover, nasty.
And of course Lebron James the must watch of all must watches in the sports world. When he puts his mind to it, his shoulder down going to the rim he is one of the greatest players ever to step on a court. And pair that with the fact that he can dribble short and hit a jumper from anywhere over anyone is ridiculous. Kobe is the best player in the game but when he is in the zone, nobody is better or more exciting then Lebron.

That was the single greatest take over I have ever seen in any sport. Had to get a broom and dustpan to pick my jaw up off the floor when he decided to do that. Unbelievable I wish I could transcribe that commentary onto my fist and plant it on the nose of Skip Bayless who talks down on Lebron every chance he gets.

Oh there are great players today but I just can't follow the NBA anymore....it's not the same without Jordan, Barkley, Malone, Bird, Johnson, etc.
It's said that after someone tracked Marovich's shots and he averaged 44.5 points a game for 3 years at LSU well that was without a 3-point line and if he had one he would have averaged 57 points a game because they say he averaged 12 made FG's from 3-point distance

Probably college football, huge Alabama fan and I get a bit too tense and angry during the games. Even had a period where I thought the team's performance was influenced by whether I was sitting down or standing up.It seemed to work for a while.
So its best that I relax a bit more so that helps.

To bad you weren't born something other then an Alabama fan. Can't remember the last time anything good happened to Alabama, they got 10 wins and wanted the coach's head? I know its been talked about before but it's amazing how much college football means in other parts of the country. In California I think USC takes about 5th precedent to everyone else's favorite teams. But in the South your fanhood is defined by your college allegiance. When I visited Kansas City it was all Mizzou/Kansas/Kansas St. stuff and this was at Dicks Sporting Goods where you could look outside and see Arrowhead.
In the South, the Titans were OK but I remember our preacher was a Tennessee fan who's gut was ripped from him when Mr. Football (or he was robbed of it anyways) from our church and town went to Kentucky for football instead of to Phillip Fulmer and Tennessee. I remember on signing week he wore a Tennessee hat for the Wednesday serviceIt was all funny though but it would have been his dream to see Artose Pinner who was the guy.
Football when I'm high I just gloss over and fall asleep on the couch usually![]()

Personally, I usually find that the games that take a long time and tend to be tactical are very interesting when I'm stoned on the couch.
Basically, cricket, baseball, darts, snooker or even poker are a good watch. Anything that mvoes too fast I just can't follow. Soccer, unless it's Italian is too quick, and I can't even see the puck in Ice Hockey when I'm sober, so when I'm not is just like trying to catch a dog who just stole your shoe and ran off into the garden with it.
Well I was young but I remember the 1992 national championship so it hasn't been all bad althought at times its seemed like a downhill slope since then.
Shula sucked, just showed how easy it is to win 10 at Alabama. We just don't have a ton of talent right now, nobody picked in the draft this year. Talent's getting better though, number one recruiting class in the nation last year. Last time we did that we were buying useless fat fuck defensive linemen for 250, 000 dollars.![]()
