Red states suck.![]()
Before I forget, America is ing stupid when it comes to basketball. High scoring offenses attract the yahoos because that is easy to appreciate. It's like that in any sport in this country. When you have a team that excels in other facets of the game the general public is at a loss to understand their strengths. That's part of the reason a sport like soccer will never be a major hit in the US. It requires too much mental effort for the average Joe Bob and most games don't have enough points scored between beers to satisfy them.
They are in the red, but it's actually closer than I expected to be honest with you. I thought it was going to be a landslide no dynasty in Arizona.
Jason Whitlock doesn't write for the Salt Lake Tribune. He writes for the Kansas City Star.
And he really tends to be bipolar in his opinions. Just a few days ago, he was extolling the virtues of Tim Duncan. That was because the Spurs played two games of attractive, though not compelling on account of the weak-sister opponent, basketball.
But this guy HATES the grind-it-out defensive games.
This is great haha
a cut below those guys who retired WITHOUT RINGS?
give me a ing break.
Jason Whitlock also blew his chode when the Spurs beat the Pistons in 05.
Nah because 15 years from now the Suns will eventually run into someone just a little bit better than them. MJ denied them and now TD.
What's Sean Deveney's take on this?
To a certain part of basketball fandom, offensive artistry and creativity, as well as personality and charisma, are integral parts of the game as much as rebounding and footwork, and a superstar who succeeds without those things has done so cheaply.
There are other fans, much less numerous in the U.S., for whom the consistent display of excellent fundamentals on defense as much as offense, is appealing, especially when said display comes sans any unnecessary showmanship.
It's a style thing, but I think Whitlock takes the aesthetics personally.
The fact that new york was blue I take pride in. That is the mecca of basketball!
DAMN REDSTATERS!!
Especially in the sense of when you compare his collection of Championship Rings to theirs.As good as Duncan is, hes a cut below Karl Malone, Hakeem Olajuwon, Charles Barkley and a few of the other big men who once elevated the league.
Thats what I'm saying! She can hit the 3 from any where on court!
Go figure its all the losers saying this.![]()
When did Kansas City move to Utah?
The SL trib might have printed it but witlock writes for the KC rag and is a complete hater of all things Texas
There's a reason this guy does basketball commentary in a town without an NBA team ...
