One man's perception of the game

[Mark Padgett]

From comedian Stephen Colbert's book, "I Am America (And So Can You)":

"Basketball: We invented basketball, and it has become so popular that we've developed two versions of it: the college, or "classic", version of the game, in which rules are followed and at most above-average athletes can excel; and the NBA version of the game, in which 7-foot-tall monster freaks leap about on trampolines while swinging their massive elbows like cudgels and running four steps without dribbling before taking off from their opponent's foul line to slam dunk."

Sounds about right to me. What do you think?
