I’m a basketball lover. I love the game, always have. I probably got it from my father and aunt. Yes, my family used to play ball in church leagues. My uncle that died last summer told me if there was a WNBA when they were younger, my aunt that I visited during Christmas would have easily been a star player. One thing that I DO remember about those games was walking into the men’s locker room and getting that manscent that just knocked me for a loop. It is still memorable but, not in a bas way. It was just something very profound on my young mind that I never forgot. I was probably between six and eight years old.
Anyway tonight, the Miami Heat came through in a must win game against the NBA’s top team for season wins this year. It was an amazing game even though I watched it on TV. If they win a game in Indiana on Saturday I think it will be a definitive game for a team that was a laughing stock only last year. It’s NOT fair because Alonzo Mourning had to retire due to illness but, the team was built around him and he was gone, not playing his second year in a row. Now, it’s all about the Heat being the head turning team in this year’s playoffs.
