Friendly competition

I love American sports, especially College Football, but on the professional side while the action’s great, I’ve always felt the competition was a little too professional, all business and not enough personal animosity, stored up grudges and general feelings of those bastards screwed us again that are the life blood of sporting competition in Britain.

So I was really pleased to read about the NBA playoff series between the Boston Celtics and the New Jersey Nets, where the Jets coach Byron Scott, who I remember from the Lakers of the late 80’s, early 90’s, has been stirring the pot with his comments on the Celtics and Boston.

That’s great as far as I’m concerned. Inject some passion, add wood to the fire, make a run of the mill play-off series something to remember.
Byron says the best fans are in Sacremento, maybe because they applaud Nets three pointers, but it sounds pretty dull.

Once again with “the best rivalry in all of sports to hold on to.”

Why does everyone have to be the biggest and bestest? Why can’t he just limit it to NBA basketball, which is something he knows about?
