I don't pretend to know much about basketball. I rarely watch it. I did. A hundred years ago in college, as I had buddies playing. In pickup games, I quickly gained respect for people who can play as I sucked. Horribly.
We live outside of Boston. So "my" NBA season pretty much comes alive when the payoffs begin, and I will watch a game or two, and parts of more. This year the Cetics have more or less overachieved and are now in the Eastern Conference Finaks. Playing LeBron and the Cavs.
Last night LeBron and team just dismantled he Celtics. Maybe the worst playoff loss in their history by any measure.
What struck me, once again, what just how incredibly athletic all these guys tend to be. Like off the charts. And how other-worldly the guys like LeBron are. He is just amazing to watch. I was at the game with a few friends. One was drafted to play pro baseball, signed a free agent contract in the NFL, and likely could have player D1 hockey on college. He was saying that he thinks LeBron would likely be an all pro in the NFL, and in MLB. In fact we were chuckling about what sports he could not master.
Figure skating? Polo. Too big to be a jockey. I bet if you gave him a month, he would be a pretty darn solid skier.
The strength, speed, coordination, and body control is incredible. I'm in awe just watching these guys warm up.
Always a short season for me, but fun to watch. Feel the same about the NHL. They make better skiers, though.
