New Flash for the fans: Utah Valley rolls out red carpet for NBA D-League
2 comments | Read story
Some people are fans of certain schools or teams, but I am a fan of the GAME itself. I LOVE basketball -- I'd take it with a needle if I could -- and frankly, I don't know how any true fan of basketball wouldn't be excited about a D-League team in Orem.
Unlike the NBA, D-Leaguers are not spoiled multi-millionaires crying about how life doesn't treat them better.
And unlike the NCAA, D-Leaguers are not athletes pretending to be students so they can play before partisan, frenzied, and irrational crowds.
D-Leaguers are simply hungry guys who are brave enough to risk failing in front of thousands.
They are guys who actually believe in themselves enough get off the couch (and away from a computer) and WORK to make their dreams come true.
Any fan of basketball, or of life for that matter, has GOT to love that!
PLEASE continue to cover Flash games!
