In hockey terms, March Madness is to the NBA as the Memorial Cup is to the NHL all-star game.
The relentless focus on dunks, bravado, bad tattoos and the worst thing ever -- the constant smiling, joking, ass-slapping, hugging and general love between players on opposing teams drives me crazy in the NBA. That's how NHL players act in the all-star game (when things aren't taken seriously).
And I know, I know, I sound like Don Cherry or some other old grump, but that's the way I sees it, and the way I sees it is the way we should all sees it!

That made me laugh aloud. Especially when the kids in 5th grade and up do it. It cracks me up how they imitate the college kids, especially if they are playing on running clocks! ha!

Do you not understand the blog writer was voicing an opinion that I might agree with?
If you think the NBA playoffs are more exciting than March Madness or the Final Four, have at it.

No you are missing the point again. College basketball just sucks slightly less than the NBA, but it still sucks.

In regard to Troutman's view on post free throw high fives....
Free throw shooting is all about repetition. I think that has a lot to do with the incessant hand slaps. A good free throw shooter will do the exact same thing every time he steps to the line.
That said, if they'd just stop doing the high fives and then start the repetition things would be better.
