Sports babble

[muck_a_luck]

It's stupid to let yourself get all worked up over sports babble.

But the NBA draft was running in the background today, and it was bothering me.

If these people, these NBA draft-eligible college players, don't have "athleticism," then who the hell does?!

Husband made many hilarious jokes about how players play without athleticism, but I think they were location jokes, and I will not relate.

And Husband notes that the word of the day was "long." I assumed this meant, the player had good range, but Husband thinks not. Something to do with another word they were using - "wingspan."

Dude. If people kept going on and on about my "wingspan," I think I'd be pissed.

In other draft news, 3, 5, and 6 were all UNC players. I felt due school pride. Husband quipped, "I think UNC's gonna suck next year."

*ponders "athleticism"*

Players lacking athleticism....this means: "This guy is taller than a California Redwood. He can cross the court in three strides, and must stoop to dunk. He's also the width of a minivan, and serves as the equivalent to 's Great Wall of China."

He doesn't *need* to do anything else...or he didn't. Now in the NBA they're all like that. Good luck, Gigantor.

Sadly, I see your point. *sigh*

Actually ... it was 2, 5 and 12. 5 was Raymond Felton and 12 was Sean May. Both 'play' for the Bobcats. Sean May is fat and sits at the end of the bench in street clothes. He is NOT athletic. Felton is questionable at best with his point-guard abilities. Grr. Stupid UNC players.
