Shea Serrano: I sent text messages to Gregg Popovich last night during the game.
Me: Yo, homie. Good luck tonight. Pop: thx Me: How do you think the game's gonna go? Pop: They're gonna try and put the ball in the basket and we'll try and stop them. We'll try and put the ball in the basket and they'll try and stop us. Whichever team gets the ball in the basket more times is going to win. Me: … dick.
Me: Hey, sister. Pop: sup? Me: Good first quarter. Pop: dude, i know. i'm at the game. Me: i think your screeners might be floating out just maybe a step too far on the high pick and roll. Pop: ??? Me: the high pick and roll. with tony. when he has it at the top of the key and the screener comes up. Pop: oh. okay. great. thank you. hey, can you do me a favor? Me: yeah, of course. anything. what's up? Pop: do you have, like, a hammer or a mallet or something comparable nearby? Me: Um, i think so. hold tight. I'll grab one … Pop: k Me: got it. what's up? Pop: Okay, cool. which one did you find? Me: hammer Pop: perfect. now take it … Me: uh-huh Pop: and smash yourself in the face with it Pop: I KNOW WHAT A HIGH PICK AND ROLL IS

Me: hey, make sure tiago gets some counseling. [No response.]
Me: dude, you gotta knock Mario Chalmers down or something. This **** is ridiculous. Pop: I'm sorry, what was that? I couldn't hear you. All of my championship rings were talking to me at once. Me: Remember when you gave Rasho Nesterovic $42M? Pop: point taken
Me: hey, yo. Have you seen Human Centipede 2? Pop: no. Me: oh. Well but have you seen this third quarter? Because it's basically the same. Pop: >:(

I stopped watching the NBA when it turned into (mostly) a bunch of prototypical NBA linebackers hacking the crap out of each other.
I love a good dunk or shot rejection as much as anyone, but it seems to me that the magic is gone.
I think the last time I really enjoyed watching NBA basketball, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird were still playing (yes, I'm excluding the Micheal Jordan era).

I'm mostly with you but this Finals had Tim Duncan and LBJ, two of the most fundamentally sound players ever. Duncan's footwork is almost orgasmic and he toyed with Bird Man (who, btw, I'd gladly take on my team if he can stay away from the dope) and the rest of the Heat. James, though, is entering all-time best territory. He's the first player since Bird and Magic who can completely take over a game and do so unselfishly. I've always thought that I would hate playing with Jordan (if, you know, we pretended I was that good) but I'd love playing with LBJ. Yeah, The Decision was a hamfisted train wreck that he'll always have to live with but he's transcended past it.
