Of basketball

Thank god for Dallas.

It’s rare that the easy thing to do is also the right thing to do, and I think that’s why we get so much joy out of hating Lebron James.¹ Between “King,” “The Decision,” and the South Beach welcome party he’s both the villain we deserve and he deserves.

It’s also rare that two parties belong with one another like James and Miami. Miami is icky. In what is one of the more bizarre public works projects, the city has a thin layer of baby oil covering every surface. Things like sitting and putting down your bag become a chore.

Miami is like a snake, except that Miami is as slimy as it looks. And it gets on your insides.

There is one big downside to this whole Mavericks winning thing: rampant corruption, decades of economic exploitation, earthquakes, and and now Haiti has to suffer defunct Heat championship apparel.
