A game of feet

Providing a great contrast to my post on the National Hockey League Championship (below), the National Basketball Association championship final game saw the LA Lakers walk away with the championship, 99-86, over the Orlando Magic, and it was anything but exciting. There was none of the truly inspired play of the college March Madness, and the play seemed to be dominated by a lot of pushing, fouling and taking at least three steps on a drive to the basket without dribbling, so that I don't even recognize it as the game I used to play, rule-wise. I suppose they make a lot more money, than I did (Zero dollars), so they can be given the "benefit of the doubt". But they have stretched it too far for me to understand. The entertainment value is what I feel has fallen.
