Just watched the Celtics beat the Lakers.\u00a0 A good run in the fourth quarter by the Celtic bench, no, make that a great run, to take the Celtics from four points down to as much as 11 up.\u00a0 I don’t watch much basketball anymore, my street cred as a Hoosier slipping further and further away.\u00a0 This finish made me remember why basketball is such a dynamic, fun to watch game, even on television.<\/p>\n
The only thing you don’t get on television is the size, the astonishing size of the players.\u00a0 Like the pro football players these folks are in a class of humans that occupy the extreme of the bell curve in height, weight and athletic ability.\u00a0 Us 5 feet 7 inch guys literally don’t measure up.<\/p>\n
It’s been a long time since I watched any sport other than football.\u00a0 Like tonight I’ll catch part of a basketball game, the end of the 500 mile race, maybe one of the triple crown races with Kate.\u00a0 During the winter olympics I watch a few things like the skiing events and the luge, maybe something else like biathlon and in the summer olympics I like track and field events like the dashes, the shorter distance races, long jump, pole vault, sometimes the basketball, other than those not much.<\/p>\n
This is a culture change from my Indiana days when I used to watch basketball, especially college basketball, baseball, racing.\u00a0 Other things to do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
