Encore! Encore!

I will again address the hot topic of NBA playoffs.

Drum roll...

Acting in the NBA.

These guys need to be up for some serious Oscar or Golden Globe nominations. This is getting ridiculous, eh? How in the world can a 170 pound little dude totally knock over a 280 pound beast? I guess I should be giving these guys credit for being able to sway the refs opinion, but is it getting to be a little over the top?

Every game I watch I see some little man coming running down the lane and run into a brick wall, but somehow that wall falls down.

Or, we have the ever growing case of someone in the post backing up into the defender or pivoting around. Then, an elbow comes flying or a shoulder bumps into them, then the defender flops over or goes flying backwards. It's like, come on. I'm sure it didn't feel good, but isn't that a bit dramatic?

This might be the tie-in on why they are paid so much. They are actors/athletes! A new breed!
An Actlete! No... Athtors! No, we'll still with Actlete.

Didn't they implement a rule against "flopping"? Good to see they're standing strong on their "rules".

So this is what I am Sick and Tired of today.

Off with a bang

All right, I'm going to start this thing off with a bang. A little one, mind you, just to get my wheels rolling. As we are in the midst of these NBA Playoffs, I subject myself to watching them. Now, today what I am sick and tired of are these NBA players getting an average of over 5 million dollars per year, in the 2008 season. Now, I'm sure that's risen.

To get back to my point, I cannot stand to watch these guys get paid so much money and all they do is complain! Have you seen it this year?? It's getting worse and worse! You can't touch a guy without them running to the refs and crying to them OR rolling on the ground like they've never been in such pain before in their lives, but 1 minute later stand up and run around like,

"Oh, I just got hurt? Right, right. Ooooh oww. My arm."

I think you get paid too much to be treated like a baby by the refs, step up and earn your 5 mil a year, and work for it. Since that won't happen, email me your address and I'll mail you a box of tissues. That's what I'm sick and tired of today. Peace.
