Honestly I find this way more interesting than watching an actual game. I'm not a sports fan whatsoever. But relating to this guy as a human being, hearing his story, I mean it seems like anybody can find something interesting about that.

I've always been more of a scholar than an athlete, and my only thing outside of that was music. I can name who played bass for what band during which years and albums so forth, but not who played small forward for the Clippers. I had to look all that shit up.

Actually that's an interesting note too - this article had an interesting side effect of spurring me to go over to Wikipedia to look up noob shit like where have I heard this name Darius Miles before? (Turns out it was from his stint in Portland.) And what's a small forward? And then off on tangents... what are the other four positions, and who are some famous players in those positions, and what's a "pick" and what's the "post" and what's a "triangle offense" and all kinds of stuff. I learned more about basketball today than in many preceding years.
