| FIVE BEST THINGS ABOUT THE NBA |
| Posted February 15, 2002 |
| It is so fashionable to bash the NBA these days. It has gotten to the point where sports fans
have become almost embarrassed to admit that they follow the National Basketball Association. While
I agree that David Stern's authoritarian NBA front office and the attitudes of many spoiled NBA
superstars also hurt my enjoyment of the game, there are at least five things that ensure my support of NBA
basketball.

| THE NEXT KOBE? |
| Posted December 28, 2001 |
 Now that arguably three of the five best players in the game -- Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady and Kevin Garnett -- are players who made the jump straight from high school to the NBA, scouts are scouring the high school ranks for the next superstar. Case in point, Chicago Bulls GM Jerry Krause spent two lottery picks on high school players in last year's NBA Draft. Is the next Kobe Bryant out there somewhere?

| SHAQ WEARS SHORT SHORTS |
| Posted November 21, 2001 |
 Just days after being ridiculed for shooting free throws "like a 10-year-old" by Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, Shaquille O'Neal is in the news for absurd reasons once again. Yesteday, Shaq, teammate Kobe Bryant, Tracy McGrady, Nick Van Exel, Eric Piatkowski and Dana Barros were fined $5,000 each by the National Basketball Association for wearing their shorts too long. Supposedly, NBA players must wear shorts that are at least one inch above the knees. Shaq's initial response to the fine was to state that if he wore short shorts, it would have no impact on the youth of America.
Shaq: Would all the kids then wear John Stockton shorts? No, they wouldn't. They would laugh at me, and I wouldn't be their favorite player any more. I'd be the laughingstock of big men.
It seems that the National Basketball Association has decided to act more like the NFL (No Fun League) and is more concerned about players' shorts than with more important concerns. Don't they have more pressing matters to worry about?
Discussions and Comments
Apparently not since the NBA fashion police are back on the attack once again.
