Even Though It's NBA, Thanks For Sharing ...

Many years ago, when we had many jump balls in the game, and used many jump ball circles, I had a few taps almost go into the basket, but I've never seen one actually go in.

Reminds me of Chris Bosh complaining about his livelihood being put at risk by the hustle of other players.
1. Pete Rose would roll over in his grave.
2. His livelihood? Really? As if he'll be in the poor house if he never plays another game?
3. It's hustle, and from a player who needs his job more than Bosh does at this point.

Second overall pick, behind only Lebron James, but ahead of Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh and Carmelo Anthony

Only in the NBE can a player put rosin/chalk on his hands pregame & throw up the excess without getting a T.

Why should a T be called?
