Is he the fella who has the argument with Leo Messi on some Turkish Airlines flight before having Ice-Cream?1

Someone will need to explain that to us who are not in the "know"2

Didn't watch the game, I assume they just kept giving him the ball.
More important was Golden State setting a new record for games won and Curry throwing over 400 3pointers in a season.2 -
I've boycotted Basketball ever since the make up of players stopped representing the population demographic of the United States.
It seems to have similar problems that black managers face when getting managerial jobs in Football in England.0 -

Or - more realistically - it's the only sport played in inner cities in the US, which are largely black areas and therefore more likely to have a larger number of talented players?Big_Bad_World said:I've boycotted Basketball ever since the make up of players stopped representing the population demographic of the United States.

Do you also boycott ice hockey because it is similarly unrepresentative of the population demographic of the United States?15 -
I just boycott it because it's shite.16

Basketball is a sport for those that have the attention span of a goldfish. Having said that to play you've got to be mega fit, strong, tall and generally very athletic. Some of the players are incredible athletes.0

The only place on earth that has more point scoring than a basketball game is this forum. Hard to get worked up over a basket when each one means so little to the overall game.2

Surely there should be some sort of reverse Rooney rule, if only to keep things fair. I'm all for equality.Leroy Ambrose said:

I generally agree (having been to watch a top of the table professional basketball game) but I still enjoy watching cricket which outscores Basketball by a large margin. It may be because I do not have a clue what is going on in Basketball - I had to text an American friend to find out what happens if the game is drawn at normal time as I didn't know whether to stay in my seat or leave.

Tell that to Muggsy Bogues, he'd make AFKA look like a 'typical' basketball player.kentaddick said:Having said that to play you've got to be tall .

For a bit of context Kobe Bryant is sort of like the NBA's version of Ryan Giggs and he retired last night after 20 seasons ( only player in his position to play 20 seasons ) and he went out with 60 points, ( the most by a individual player this season ) in fairness the whole Lakers plan was '' give Kobe the ball'' and he ended up taking 50 shots on the night ( the highest by a single player since 83 )

I think there is a white Frenchman who is quite high in the 100m at the moment and whenever I watch I always have to do a double take as it looks as though he's got lost amongst the America / Caribbean runnersLincsaddick said:

Can I just start by saying that it's an honour to be asked a question by my CL favourite.Leuth said:Do you also boycott the 100m sprint in the Olympics, Millwall Guy?
To answer your question, yes, yes I do.
I also refuse to watch any competitive swimming. Purely for balance of course.0 -

I haven't seen the game, but I'm guessing the Jazz took it easy as it was a meaningless end of season game. Kobe hasn't looked capable of scoring 60 points for the last three or four seasons.0 -
I boycotted it after I watched it once many years ago and it bored me to tears!! Confined it to room 101 with NFL and F1!Big_Bad_World said:I've boycotted Basketball ever since the make up of players stopped representing the population demographic of the United States.

A genuine legend in his sport and one of the highest earning sportsmen of all time.
That said i stopped watching since they stopped enforcing the travelling rule ( how many steps before dunking these days?)0 -
Look at the owners and General Managers and a disproportionate number of coaches in the NBA (though that is changing in recent years). The power is still with the whites, or "white power," as you may prefer...Big_Bad_World said:
