Keeping the Leakers lousy would be for the best.

A lousy team should stay lousy.

More like a soap opera than a reality show, Tank!

The 2011/12 OKC Thunder could have been a dynasty.

NBA is a reality show.

did the Lakers even make the finals?

“Great reality show” is an oxymoron.

Remember back in ancient times when pros were happy to get paid to “play” for a living and didn’t need their egos stoked?

Serena Williams will be back playing tennis at the US Open.

You’ll recognize her by her long gray beard.

Pat Patterson,the bald bowler of the 1960’s,wherefore art thou?

Oh—do the still play basketball on that reality show—you know, the one with all the teams?

Now that’s something you don’t often hear, Chauncey. What’s that, Edgar? A GREAT reality show!

We are less than a week from summer and they’re still playing basketball and hockey. Great for hardcore wonks, but for casual fans (like me), the interest has long since passed.

certainly not an even trade

It’s become the National Diva League. Whether it’s Durant, Irving, Westbrook, Harden (sorry, but he’s probably one of the most overrated players EVER), LeFraud, it’s become one giant soap opera.

Wouldn’t work. The NBA and reality have been diametrically opposed for years.

Latest rumour that I read was Kyrie to the Lakers, Westbrook back to OKC and Brooklyn getting draft picks. But, and this is a big but, that’s just a rumour.

The only thing real about reality shows is the UNreality
