I thought this was great. It's a road trip in the point of view of a 12th man on the NBA team, i.e. a guy who never plays. His stat lines this year are:
1.2 points and .2 rebounds a game!!
He's awesome.
But yeah, I thought what he said was really interesting, and humorous at times, if you care a little about the NBA or sports life or whatnot.
Here's a little example to give a taste:

Here's a little example to give a taste:
We started off like a ball of fire, making up for our errant shots in Atlanta several fold. The Bobcats, on the other hand, were flailing away at the exact opposite end of the spectrum. They looked like a CBA team—fitting, since their arena and fans fit that mold. In the early going, Charlotte was nearly as inept as the Hawks were the night before. Jason Kapono started off on about a 1 for 10 tear and it appeared that the rout was on. I began considering the possibility that there could very well be a bit of playing time in the offing and started paying at least cursory attention to what was going on in timeouts, in case Coach D’Antoni said something like, “From now on tonight, everyone will be shooting with his left hand. Deviation from this plan of attack will result in castration immediately following the game.” I would really hate to miss one of those instructions, come out firing, and because of my own mental lapse, ruin the rest of my life.
