the lower the level and the less important the game the less i think about it after

thats what i said -- I never said the game WASN'T important i just said that to ME i dont think much about them after it is done.

and lets be real basketball is the least *ABOUT THE KIDS*

Its about the money, the sponsors, the kids personal coaches who are hoping that the kid makes it and remembers them, the parents who live through the kids, the coaches who are trying to move up, the school getting visibilty (by entering tournaments that the school should not be in).

All the kids are, are players on a team -- the sanctity of *basketball* ended with the first million dollar contract to put an athletes name on a shoe. Everytime i hear "It's all about the kids" I cringe.
