I usually don't respond to shit like this and get involved in dick-sizing contests, but this comment on my last post took the cake:

Basketball is a cancer. It needs to go away."
Spoken like a true dork. You're one of those kids growing up (and still are, probably) that says "I hate sports, and thus everyone else should too." Listen, I don't care if you want to sit around and read Nintendo Power all day, but at least those of us watching (and usually participating in some aspect) in sports aren't massively overweight like I have a hunch you are (you could probably stand to lose 10-20 lbs I'm betting). I'm not telling you you have to like sports, but comparing anything like basketball to societal cancer is stupid.
Real societal cancers:
Racism, sexism, homophobia, pretty much any "isms";
You
Do you even know what a basketball is? It's the big round one...No Drake, not a volleyball...no, not the football, that's not round...no, that's pretty small, that's a baseball, yes it's big compared to your tiny peanut-scrotum..there ya go...no that's a soccer ball...
This shit would continue for days.
On to tomorrow's, or I guess tonight's, game 6
MAVERICKS AT WARRIORS
What a game on Tuesday! The Mavs go up by 21, and the Warriors manage to climb back, making it a seven point game at half, and a six point game at the beginning of the third quarter due to a technical against Jerry Stackhouse as he left the court at the end of the second.
Suddenly, the Warriors are ahead by NINE with a little over three minutes to go. Stick a fork in the Mavs, they're..
WAIT, DIRK NAILS A THREE, GETS A KEY BLOCK, AND NAILS ANOTHER ONE! THREE POINT GAME IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS!
Mavs hang on and win.
Guess what Warriors fans? Your momentum has been sucked away, and Mavericks have finally figured you guys out. We control the tempo by getting boards, we're slowly getting better at rotating the defense to counter your massive three point attempts (and shot making, it's un-fucking believable how many threes you guys sink, it's sickening actually). Dirk has his confidence back, and the 1 seed resembled the team they were all regular season long. Oakland fans are nuts, bouyed with the belief that their team is a true Cinderella bound for the playoffs, but we'll have to wait until tomorrow to see if that's enough for a team to win against a suddenly angry and lucky Mavs team. I doubt it.
I've already made a promise to my friends that if the Mavs win the title this year, starting with climbing out of their (previously) 3-1 hole they dug themselves into, I will get a Mavericks tattoo. It'll go nicely with my cartoonish Texas flag on my back.
I gotta get back to studying Physical Anthropology, did you know that there are people who actually believe in Creationism? Ironically, I would argue that those people are not fit to survive in this world due to their ignorance and stupidity. You succumb to Darwin by refusing to believe the proven!

Basketball is nothing more than undeserving niggers trying to out play other niggers, it isnt about the team.. its about each individual ghetto bunny making himself look better than the others

Apollo, are your Rockets gonna pull their heads out their ass and beat Utah? You can't tell me you live in Houston and don't watch Rockets basketball. I honestly don't care if they choke on a dick, they won't make it past round 2

Basketball was invented in Almonte, Ontario,Canada
It was originally a sport for girls.
And it was an awesome game....
Until you yankee fucks, fucked it all up
Like you do with everything else in the world.

Spoken like a true dork. You're one of those kids growing up (and still are, probably) that says "I hate sports, and thus everyone else should too." Listen, I don't care if you want to sit around and read Nintendo Power all day, but at least those of us watching (and usually participating in some aspect) in sports aren't massively overweight like I have a hunch you are (you could probably stand to lose 10-20 lbs I'm betting). I'm not telling you you have to like sports, but comparing anything like basketball to societal cancer is stupid.
----------------
I gotta tell ya, this made my morning. A whole post dedicated to a random -1 that I threw towards a post that actually deserved worse. Lets start with the "Nintendo Power" comment: Everyone knows that EGM is the only magazine related to gaming worth reading. And I prefer to watch X-play on G4TV because reading is too much physical labor. Which leads me to your " but at least those of us watching (and usually participating in some aspect) in sports aren't massively overweight like I have a hunch you are" comment. I could go the cheap route and say that the only reason you watch sports is cause you probably suck at them and you actually have to live vicariously through the accomplishments of someone named "Dirk". If you were to live like that, pick "Dirk Digler", at least he does something you can be proud of. Basketball is a sham. They put the net a foot above those idiots head. WHERE'S THE SKILL??? What's the point of watching it? But I won't be cheap. All I will say is I am not overweight and I run once in a while....when I am not walking my daughter in her stroller, bartending, or at my other job at the paper, or putting roofs on houses. Call me lazy if you must.
"Real societal cancers:
Racism, sexism, homophobia, pretty much any "isms";
You "
----------------
What about "eroticism"? I am a huge fan of it. It's how babies are made. And it's how we can ensure the perpetuity of our species. Without it, it'd be the end of the human race. I am not a fan of a person, such as yourself, who condones celibacy. Shame on you.
And what about liberalism? Half the U.S. agrees with that sentiment. Are you saying they're ALL wrong? That's mighty presumptuous of you.
"Do you even know what a basketball is? It's the big round one...No Drake, not a volleyball...no, not the football, that's not round...no, that's pretty small, that's a baseball, yes it's big compared to your tiny peanut-scrotum..there ya go...no that's a soccer ball... "
------------------
True enough I am not a sports guy. I don't get a hard-on everytime LeBron "Sinks One", and a 3-pointer is not my idea of "god's little miracles". I would much rather watch Rocko's Modern Life and drink my coffee than sit around with a bunch of dudes high-fiving. LAME!!!
This shit would continue for days.

I understand why some people like basketball but I don't. That ok.
Seems everything happens in a rush, then you need a break, then you can advertise, then you entertain, then you go home.
THE END.

when people turn a review into a post, we expect some pretty kick-ass comebacks,
but this was just terrible:

This made no sense. Like the rest of this post. Saying that basketball was just about the only sport I could tolerate watching on telly in the US.
