Discussing basketball with people in your everyday life

It could be worse, I have to listen to Jazz fans discuss trading Greg Ostertag for a top 15 draft pick.

Interestingly enough, the Salt Lake tribune asked me if I'd take part in a sports survey yesterday. What sort of sports exists in Utah? Exactly. I was asked 3 questions.

Should the Jazz attempt to trade Malone for draft picks?
Would I be happy seeing Karl Malone get the chance to win a championship elsewhere?
Am I a Jazz fan?

get it Tag, get it! - a Jazzhole asking Greg Ostertag to rebound the ball.

 

I have a friend who is a Faker fan. He doesn't think that Shaq violates any fouls. He also believes Juan Dixon will be better than Stevie and Brand is better than Bark. Another friend is a Knick fan who thinks LJ is greater than MJ.

The only people I really talk NBA with is people I play with, and they are pretty knowledgeable(some even visit clutchcity!).

But I dont talk about NBA with many other people cuz they are way more ignorant than me.

My uncle used to argue that Malone was a greater player than MJ based solely on the fact that MJ's shots touched rim when they went in while Malone's were nothing but net.

Quite a few cheered on Barkley's injury, feeling the Rockets had a better chance of winning w/o him. Uh-huh. One example of many.

No signature for you!

 

I have stopped talking to people about the NBA.

Most of the people I use to talk to a HUGE bandwagoners.Ask them who their favorite team was and you could almost hear them say "Who going well at the moment?".

Ask them who the best player in the league was and you got the feeling they had seen to many Nike commercials!

Then when you tryed to talk about REAL basketball issues (They wernt to good when it come to anything serious.Dunking was about as indepth as they could get) like the draft or salary cap situations they were like a deer in the headlights.
"Salary cap.......Yeah I got one of thoes at footlocker last week!"

Thats why I love my Clutch City

My Expert Opinion Of Steve Francis:Mate he is a special player!

 

It's hard to talk rocket ball when you're surrounded by knick fans.

But what ya gonna do? I try to enlighten them, but they would rather remain ignorant.

I talk about basketball to my wife - who cares nothing about basketball and usually will give me dirty looks or start making gag noises. This does not bother me, as I am used to it by now. I just continue to tell her all sorts of things.

I would much rather talk to her about it than with other people I know.
