Not sure why you posted this, maybe you've had a few drinks ...... whatever. Basketball is a very high skill game, where players wear virtually no protective equiqment. In North America only NFL football is more popular than basketball. The Raptors have done something special this season, quite inspiring really. Hard to see a logical reason to make a negative comment about the sport at this point in time.

Great run for the Raptors but I have no problem with a negative comment about the sport of basketball. It’s better than pretending you always liked it just to fit in.

To me a game played by giants where your hands are used to put the ball in a net ranks right up there with dodgeball. It always amazes me that a slam dunk can make it on to plays of the week. Compare that to some of the soccer goals that they show and it’s a joke.

I hope the Raptors win but it doesn’t change my opinion of the game.

Hockey is just a bunch of hosers chasing a piece of rubber around the ice and whacking it with a stick, it's pretty stupid.

I’m sorry that you were abused by an old guy. Maybe someday you’ll be okay.

Hmmmmm....it's just one of those movies where the style is so iconic what do you do with it? Shoot the machine gun sequence differently? We'll see I guess.

They'll be plenty of violence. Mel's movies are brutal.

You try dribbling without travelling or even a 3 pointer.
- bobbyisno1

That’s the basics of the game....

There is a lot of thinking involved. A lot more systematic and adjustments than hockey. If a team just took 3s and drove the basket it would be extremely easy to gaurd. There’s plenty more to it and the simple minded can’t see that

Not directing this to you.

Coming from Simmons, maybe 20% believable. But in a classy way, it was probably suggested to Patty that he may be a healthy scratch on occasion. That most likely got the ball rolling.
- Leafsmart


None of what has been said is true.

This was planned all along between the Leafs and Marleau.
