It's written like satire, but there are some actual valid points hidden in the article (whether they were intentional or not), at least in regards to rivalries and hatred for other schools' teams. I think one of the many reasons that John Wooden was as successful and brilliant a coach as he was, is that he never…

"Their contracts, which are good through the rest of the season, signal that New York and San Antonio are both determined to take another run at the 2003 NBA title."

I hadn't even realized how confusing that sentence was until I read this comment. I sort of glossed over it. You, however, have made me laugh. For that I thank you.

Can't argue with you there…

You seem like a pleasant and warm person.

I'm not really a Kobe fan, but I feel for the guy. His all-consuming desire to be the Best Ever™ is equal parts eye-rolling, concerning and admirable. It must kill him knowing that injuries like this are starting to indicate that he isn't going to last enough to snag every last Best Ever™ record—all while knowing that…

He looked like he was going to cry… Poor guy.

It's worth noting that Scottsdale Community College is home of the Fighting Artichokes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scottsdal…

No leg break in the video. Good looking out, though.

Hear, hear!

Okay, I'm going to admit to being the stupid one and acknowledge that I have no idea what I'm supposed to be spotting in this GIF.

My last salvageable bracket has Louisville over Syracuse in the championship game, so I'm hoping Syracuse pulls off the win today. It's still a completely busted bracket, but I figure that (relatively) few enough people have Syracuse in the NCG that it would still move me up in points a considerable amount.

What? Shush.

This article made me go to Ainge's Wikipedia page and read more about him. I had no idea that he was also a baseball player and football player, and excelled at all three in high school.

Though I didn't know it at the time, this was the comment I came here to read. +15

La Salle vs. Wichita State… 13 seed vs. 9 seed. Has a matchup of that seeding ever taken place? Maybe it's happened before, but it must be remarkably rare if it has.

…And also let it is be known is that there is an extra "is" in that sentence.

I know this guy, and let it be known is that he is this awesome in real life too.

It seems to me that it would make a lot more sense—though almost completely impossible at this point—to disconnect NCAA-level sports from college altogether, and to instead have a completely separate amateur-level association whose teams are based on locality rather than strictly on a college-based-association. I…
