Everything that's old is new again.

"Ball Don't Lie" is the title of an NBA blog somewhere....

Hate it. Now everytime a player goes to the free throw line and they miss the first one, someone will inevitably say "Ball Don't Lie" or some form of it. It just drives me insane...

A few summers ago, a player said that. So I asked the FT shooter what his FT percentage was. He said 55%. I told defense, stat's don't lie. Then I asked the defense how many fouls he commits each game, because he would be getting a couple more.

I dislike, "That was a great call." I prefer to think that it was the CORRECT call, nothing great about it, just doing my job.
