NCAA in town , National coverage on St. Louis . SIU still in it GO SALUKIES......But I just don't like Basketball , like I used to . When I was a kid......Dr. J and Wilt the Stilt , Bill Walton , Pistol Pete , Larry Bird , Majic Johnson , Bill Lambier .....just to name a few , Man These guys............They we're exciting , THEY PLAYED FOR THE NAME ON THE FRONT OF THE JERSEY.......NOT THE NAME ON THE BACK . I can not stand the attitudes of todays athletes......DON'T GET ME WRONG........I'm not talkin about these kids in the NCAA Tournament..........But the system . I can not believe.....the way the game has changed . It used to be ......Poetry........it used to be........Amazeing..........I'll Guarentee you that , Back in the day , The Bull @!%&* that goes on with these Millionaire PRETENDERS today would'nt have Cut it........with the guys I mentioned above . I'm sorry but I have a hard time getting excited about any Basketball , above High School . I'd rather pay $5.00 to sit in a gym and watch a High school game . The athletes on the court , may not be the best in the land , but they come to play every min. of every game ......period . The game is just funner to watch.......when it means something.......It seems that these guys are inconvienenced........because they have to actually have to play........OOoooohhhhhh what have we done to your game Dr. Naismith ? Why could'nt Michael play for ever ? When did we stop calling Technicals ? When did we allow the poetic game of yester year .........to become this STREET GAME...........Run by Money grubbing scoundrals......Who play us fans for a bunch of saps . And WHAT IS UP WITH THE OFFICIATING ? i CAN'T BELIEVE IT . i GUESS WE'LL CALL IT ...........progress.
