The Morning After: Hoop Dreams
The last time I really paid much attention to pro basketball was in my school days in the '80s, when it seemed like the Lakers were always playing the Celtics in the finals. Good to see nothing's changed! As a non-sports fan, I tend to look at TV sports the same way—broadcasting a game is something that stays essentially the same, year over year—even though I know that, between technology and the changing style of broadcasters, that's not really true. But, let's face it, I'm not going to become enough of a sports fan to find out anytime soon. Do any of you who've been watching the NBA finals care to give your armchair reviews of the TV coverage?
