As much as this is a terrible tragedy, I'm slightly baffled at the lead story coverage by the UK media outlets.
Basketball, and those involved within it, receive about as much coverage over here as ten pin bowling. :shrug:

The BBC news clearly had no idea who he was either. So they just showed footage of Lebron James instead :hehe:

Seriously, I'm sick of the long-haired, big-nosed, effete, vegan, Corbyn-supporting c@nt. Get rid ASAP.

Yep. Him and Hugh Grant can fúck right off.

Grant's misery gives me enormous pleasure, though. Bellerin is just an embarrassment.

It has to be said that, between the Brexit celebrations and the 50p piece, the trolling of hardcore Remain types is being very skilfully done. I think some of them might go completely tonto by Saturday. wd Boris.

I once knew a Romanian prostitute called Andrea who had had the sexytime with him.

That's literally the only thing I know about him.

I knew about the rapeyness, but that's it. Even by American standards, basketball is a shít game.

It's quite comfortably the second most popular team sport in the world :shrug:

And the greatest basketball player ever was 6'6" - which is only a smidge taller than you or I.

I watched Bayern v Real Madrid a few weeks back and the best Spanish player was about 5' 10. Not my favourite sport, by a long chalk, but I did enjoy the evening

It was my favourite sport as a young man but that's because it was the sport I was best at, I expect.

Because I'm so :old: I much prefer the previous version of the game, pre the 3 point line. The 3 point shot ruined the game to some extent and like so many games, the fitness and size of the players has really changed the way it is played.
