How Quickly They Forget - Kobe Bryant

[ralph_i_el]

Obviously. Not in the game itself, sure. But in the public eye? Definitely and rightfully so. Sports on TV are not only sports. It's entertainment. Two made free throws count for 2 points. A dunk by Vince Carter is also two points. Which one would you like to watch?

The same with impossible shots.

I'd rather watch VC make a good move to the rim.and get fouled than see Kobe take an "impossible" (aka bad) shot and clank it

What if both of them make it?

I think you are setting yourself up for failure this way. Why aren't you letting yourself entertained? Your time is limited. If you keep doing / watching things you don't like, noone is going to give your time back.

Not liking a player is absolutely fine... but why watch him? Unless you enjoy him not making the shot of course... in which case you are being entertained by the way.. and the worse the miss the more entertained you are.

Because the NBA will play 20 Lakers games a year on national TV. I just like basketball dude.
