Fuck Yea[h] NBA

This fucking Broadband access is KILLING ME! Oklahoma City was the first team I signed up for, and I couldn’t get their game last night? WHAT! That’s why I don’t have the OKC-Dallas highlight package ready for you (don’t worry, I’m currently on hold with NBA.com about this bullshit blackout stuff). And, again, it was a fuckin’ seminal moment in the Kevin Durant MVP campaign Durantula is currently waging against the rest of the NBA.

After Vince Carter, VINCE CARTER!!?!?, hit a 3-pointer to put Dallas ahead by 1 with about 3 seconds left. Everyone in their right mind was thinking: ‘well, Dallas finally got their first win against the Thunder,’ who many analysts picked to represent the Western Conference in the NBA Finals this year (this humble blogger included). Dallas has struggled, but they looked much better last night in a tight game against OKC. After Vince’s 3, there were less than two seconds left in the game. 

This is where stars become legends and the myth of Kevin Durant grew a lot last night. The inbounds to him arrived at least 25 feet from the basket, and in one fluid motion, he turned and hit a game-winning 3-pointer as time expired. WOW WOW WOW! The Oklahoma City Thunder won 104-102. 

Kevin Durant might be the best player in the NBA right now (sorry LeBron), and his shot last night further solidified that status. This is what the NBA is all about, and its what makes all the endless games, league and player bickering, Stern bullshit and the rest, worth it. The NBA is back, and it’s just as amazing as its always been.

I really do love this game, and I don’t mind being earnest about that love.
