shaggycoo Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Know the square root of feck all about the NBA but knew who he was. Surprised to read he once scored 81 points in a game, and that is not even the most scored by a player in a single game!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's becoming more and more popular with the help of games in London and talents like LeBron James etc. Where I used to live in London, there were basketball courts up at Turnpike Lane station and if it was dry they were hoaching with young kids all year round.

kumnio Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) Basketball isn’t a sport, it’s a bairns game. Any game that can end up 121-137 is just pish, it’s designed to keep yanks entertained, people who have an attention span of 4 seconds. That’s probably not true, but it’s still fucking stupid.

It used to be a lot tougher in the 70's and 80's but it's basically no contact at all now. So diving (they call it flopping) has came into the game a lot.
