I asked some college basketball observers why they prefer the NCAA over professional hoops. These fanatics mentioned words and phrases like: more hustle hungrier excitement The regular season and playoffs in the NBA are marathons, versus the NCAA’s sprints. It is no secret that we would rather see Usain Bolt, than Eliud Kipchoge. You don’t even…
Saying that someone is a “Point GOD” is a way of saying that he is very good at playing the point guard position. I don’t know why you’re bringing God into this basketball stuff.
