I still like basketball, particularly college ball, but I'm not interested in the NBA fakery and there's no likelihood of me ever coming back, either.
glad to see us winning but enjoy everybody being called the same more.
Most of us realize that it's over, that the Bulls won, whether it was fair or not, and have moved on with our lives. That is not to say that we don't still talk about it from time to time. Who wouldn't talk about it if it were their team in the Finals?
Officials can say what they like, and we will still continue to discuss it, because it is our team.
It seems to be the Deseret News sportswriters who just can't let it go. Most of us are content to discuss the "what ifs" privately, and we lament only that things seem to have deteriorated so far that we are now surprised when Kobe DOESN'T get the call.
The Post quoted Mathis as saying, in criticizing NBA officiating, "Remember when Jordan hit that winning shot? I'm going to give you exactly what the commentators said: 'What a great move by Michael.' Was that a great move or was that an offensive foul? There was no question it was a push-off. No buts about it. The only buts you can have is, 'Well, it was Michael Jordan.' That was a defining moment
It was all there.
