    NBA To Honor Red Auerbach By Playing Defense

    BOSTON—Commissioner David Stern announced at a press conference last Monday that, in order to honor recently deceased basketball legend Red Auerbach, all NBA teams would play good, fundamental defense during the two weeks of play this November.

    "Though this will be a sacrifice for many players, I think this is something Red would have wanted," Stern said. "He always liked when players guarded the passing lanes, kept their hands up, and remained in front of their opponents even if it meant expending a little more energy in the process.

    Basically, he liked activity on the basketball court." Though the majority of NBA players seem to agree the tribute is fitting, many have said that because they haven't played defense in such a long time, they really hope they remember how.

    This was written by somebody who hasn't bothered to watch NBA game in 30 years.

    Next he's going to write a knee-slapping satirical article about how all pitchers throw spitballs.
