The Hype has been quiet lately. Sorry. But the grind of the 82-game season and the subsequent Playoffs emotional rollercoaster doesn’t just take its toll on the players, but sometimes those that follow it. I wish I was a professional journalist, someone who did this for a living, who had all day to scour media sources for information, to talk to players and coaches, and, finally, to write. But I don’t. I don’t get paid for this. I have another job, and it takes a lot out of you to work long hours and then spend almost all your free time on the Hornets. Don’t get me wrong, I love basketball, I love the Hornets, but the Hype too needs a break.
Never fear though, ticktock6 and I have been watching the other games on and off, and with a much more objective eye, we have plenty of observations we’d like to share in the coming days and weeks, especially, as we’re one of the few sites out there accountable to no one. We say what we say because we believe at the end of the day that it’s true. Even if no one else will say it. Like, for example, that Lebron IS overrated, or that the officiating is broken on a universal level but IS fixable. Also, we love to give you all a forum to talk about those things.
So there you go. Two sneak peaks. More to come. Stay tuned.
Tired
We think LeBron’s overrated? I thought we just thought he was a douche. Oh, well, and we think his nickname’s stupid because he’s not the king of anything (lowercase k). Maybe you’re right. It’s not that we don’t think he’s good. I mean, we are not blind. It’s that we resent being pushed to think he’s some sort of godlike (Jordanlike?) figure.
Oh my god, our ads are trying to sell me a LeBron MVP shirt because of this post. I’M BEING REPRESSED BY THE HEGEMONIC DISCOURSE!!!
What happened to the Hottie Baller poll? Did a team win?
