This isn’t about Xavier. Not even tangentially.
I love basketball. When I was born, my dad put a ball in my crib, when I could walk he put a rim in the hallway, when I had a brother, he took us both outside, when our family is together now, we watch ball. Basketball is fun, it’s slam poetry in motion. The best athletes in sports combining freakish athleticism with hand eye coordination only topped by baseball. It’s a great game and, even at 3 am when Hawaii is taking on Northern Arizona, it never fails to deliver.
