"I don't know what's wrong with basketball today, but it ain't basketball. Now, back when I was a kid? That was basketball."
But that's my story, and I'm sticking to it. Here is Boston legend Larry Bird. Depspite Magic's tenacity, that shot went in, my friends. It always went in. These were the days when a lady could get sight of a little man thigh.
Here is ABA cum NBA legend Dr. Julius Erving, dunking his friggin' ass off. More man thigh.
Yep, something's happened in the twenty years since NBA basketball was compelling enough to watch. I can't put my finger on it. Until something changes, it gets the back nine for me.
Dr. J reminds me of a story. When I was a junior in high school, my boyfriend and I were sitting on his bed and talking. He was telling me a story about his brother on acid or something, but having never done acid or any other drugs for that matter, I really had no frame of reference. He pointed to this very Dr. J picture I've pasted here, because he had it poster-sized on his wall. He said, "See that picture of Dr. J? Well, if you're on mushrooms, it feels as if Dr. J. is slam dunking that ball right next to your head."
I said, "Ok, what about acid?"
He replied, "If you're on acid? Dr. J. is slam dunking your head."
Who doesn't love a good analogy?

The only thing that has changed in the NBA over the past twenty years is that there are no white guys from Boston, and less man thigh.
I have some nice thighs, and you can put your finger on them if you like.
Acid and mushrooms are bad. Drugs are bad! They are wack! Stay in school Anne.
By the way ... if you were on hallucinogenic mushrooms there would be hamsters nibbling away at Dr. J's afro.
well, then bring back the white guys from boston and show more thighs and i'm down like james brown.

Basketball is my favorite sport, I like the way they dribble up and down the court.
