It's a dream so remote that paying an additional monthly 20 pounds to watch NBA games on the telly wouldn't sound like a bad idea. When i finally reach that dream to watch a live, regulation Laker game, hope it is all it's crapped out to be, as in the highlight films, as in the spectre of my childhood and basically my whole life. The O2 arena is so huge that even paying a fortune does not guarantee utmost view and comfort. Plus the yearly friendly or exhibition game is just like that, exhibition. The past three years, I've seen the Boston Celtics against the Minnesota Timberwolves, Miami Heat versus the New Jersey Heat. I've gazed upon a myriad of athletic skills from the likes of Dwyane Wade, Kevin Garnett, Vince Carter, Ray Allen, Luol Deng et al.

Then a few rubbish bits from my husband's forum proliferate the senses, as if evil has taken up human form for some blatant display of bigotry. The quote :

You left before the end?? Jeez .... that was a waste of time then!

If you are going to watch Silly Score Ball then you really want to wait until the Hooter sponsored by 'Buzz ball beef patties' goes off. 102-101 .....

Anyway, so .... intrigued about bball being popular in the Philippines. I know it is popular in south east europe, especially Greece, Turkey and Croatia / Serbia / Slovenia / Bosnia etc ... but they have a lot of tall people there.

In all seriousness, do they have lower baskets in the Philippines?? Otherwise Philipino players despite being 2 or 3 feet shorter than NBA stars should in theory be better shots because of the inherent disadvantage of being shorter?


Bigotry is narrow-mindedness, bias and descrimination. Ignore the comments? Our's is a petrifying universe that would never develop beyond racism.
