Now I know that I am high school sports blogger (because that’s what it says in my bio, and of course, bios are always right). But being a Clevelander, a Cavaliers fan (duh), an athlete—but not a basketball player… whatever, and an average American, I can’t help but talk about the NBA Finals. Not that I like tangents (which I hope to avoid, but admit will definitely plague my blog once in a blue moon), but I felt this deserved one.
I am sure that most of you reading this will know more about pro-sports and basketball in general than I will ever know, or ever plan to know. All I know is that LeBron choked. Being a high school athlete, like many other teenagers out there, I’ve obviously had my bouts of choking. But since girl’s high school soccer and track aren’t followed by the nation, let alone the world, I’m sure my experiences cannot compare to his. Not that I’m defending him, because I’m glad that Dallas won (go Mavericks!) and love to witness the king in his new castle. But knowing the pressure I feel playing/ running against another high school team, I can’t begin to imagine what it’s like to play in the NBA.
Of course, I want to reiterate that I don’t know much about professional basketball. I know everyone out there has their own take on the situation, so if you’d like to share, I’m a good listener. But if you’re out there, reading this, and don’t really know enough about it to say anything, I feel ya. Or if you’re looking for a quick laugh, this article had me giggling—and I’m not even an NBA fan. Check it out, and let me know what you think!
