Premium MemberPennsylvania's Governor's Economic Forecast

      Since when did governors offer advice
      on the NBA draft, teams just roll the dice

         Josh Shapiro told ‘his team’ 
         Ace Bailey’s low self-esteem 

      Pick him and tickets will go for half-price 



      ______________________________________________________
      Notes: NBA = National Basketball Association
                 Mr. Shapiro is the Governor of Pennsylvania
                 His team - the team he cheers for - is the Philadelphia 76ers
                 Ace Bailey is a good collegiate player with 'issues'


The Real AI

Written By:  D. Collins 6/6/25


Big men shivered when he got into the paint.
Knowing they're a victim of his vicious faints.
He had the meanest crossover anyone has ever seen.
Even Michael Jordan got postered on our T.V. screens.

He was a little man with the heart and will of a bull.
Made many so-called professionals look like a fool.
None of the NBA teams had an "answer" for him.
When we thought he wouldn't he'd flush it at the rim.

He made all big men respect and fear the little guy.
Often shaking their heads from a heavy dose of AI.
His mark on the game should stand out in our minds.
He was the best little, big man to play between the lines.

Premium MemberThe Opposite of Cool

Nikola Jokic, the opposite of cool
  The woke NBA had him pegged for a fool

    Calmly drops in 40 a night with 20 rebounds
    Lebron and Jimmy B. had to call off the hounds

Premium MemberWhere Mister Gilbert Arenas Can Go

Mister Gilbert Arenas tweeted that 'no one will care'
  if Nikola Jokic, two-time NBA MVP at 24, becomes the heir
    to players like Michael Jordan, who played with some flair

  'Jokic's not cool enough,' says this Mr. Gilbert Arenas
  Well then, Mr. NO MVP OR TITLE EVER WON ~
    You can just go and stroke your pen...(al thing) for us

Premium Member'march Madness' Vs Nba Playoffs

Those college kids sure get excited when they win
    while their professional counterparts barely grin
      ~ although they do get rich as sin


Premium MemberI Never Knew

Never missed an NBA championship
   until this year
Never missed a World Series 
   until this year
Never missed a Super Bowl
   until this year
Never knew what I was missing
   until this year

Fearless Forecast

NBA finals will end in six, 
Milwaukee Bucks will lose to Phoenix.

Premium MemberAmerica's Number One Problem

I have researched the issue extensively
  and concluded most indubitably
The #1 problem we must confront immediately
  is that the NBA is Tibetan-Nepalese free                          

I realize that this kind of news may just shock
  both NBA fanatics and weekend warrior jocks
As there have been social media rumors of a plan
  to load up rosters with ex-soldiers from Afghanistan

Well, I for one, will not let myself get distracted
  The data's in, my words will not be retracted
At this very moment, President Biden's selecting a 5-star commission
  to highlight the egregious wrong of Tibetan-Nepalese inadmission

Our nation has the talent, the drive and the will
  to effect change to rock the world from Singapore to Brazil
For the NBA's bias against Tibetan-Nepalese is a vile disease
  infecting every team owner privileged to speak Americanese

So, let us look forward to that great day
  when NBA game-time rosters will look this way
Fifteen Tibetans versus fifteen from Nepal
  ~ as long as they sing our National Anthem before they 'play ball!'



                 ~ Not for Contest ~

Premium Member'linsanity'

They've thrown down the gauntlet
The Asians have a golf 'major' now won
Hideki Matsuyama, Masters Tournament Champion
The first from the Land of the Rising Sun

Ms. Naomi Osaki has won Tennis' Grand Slam
Mr. Shohei Otani could be the next Babe Ruth for glam
Mr. Yu Darvish was the hottest pitcher in the NL last year
Ichiro Suzuki garnered over 3,000 MLB hits as Japanese fans cheered

And I predict that there lurks a Chinese missile
Whose shooting touch is that of an accurate pistol
He's ready for the NBA to welcome him back in
A Harvard grad, no less, by the name of Jeremy Lin

As the world now sees China as America's #1 superpower rival
So is the world of sports witnessing an awesome Asian revival

Premium MemberMillionaire Salaries and Perks

Nobody from my hey-day
  good enough to play
    in today's NBA
That's what they all say

I say that's because now it's 'all work'
  a 'day-at-the-office' mentality, like a clerk
    but with multi-millionaire salaries and perks
based on individual stats, instead of unselfish teamwork

Time to pay a small fortune to see
  a Chicago Bulls victory
    Five tall, newly wealthy men
      Running around a court
in $10,000 shirts shoes and shorts



______________________________________________  
NBA stands for National Basketball Association, America's
top professional league.  The Chicago Bulls are one of 
the teams in the league. The average player's salary today 
is in the neighborhood of $6.5 million per year.  In the early
1960's the average salary was about $15,000 annually.

Kobe Forever

Mamba, you were, are, and will be a legend,

You have introduced many to the game,
we learn your extent of perseverance and, determination,
without disruption, 
not easy to replicate,
yet, we try to emulate.

Remember, the story doesn't end here,
your motivation and legacy will not go in vain,
to make life  good, 
we must look,
into your experiences and broaden our outlook.

Mamba, you were, are, and will be a legend!!

Play Ball

They want us to play ball
The referee made a bad call
They cheat for the other team
They repeat the same scheme
The NBA wants to see us play
But won't listen to what we say
Without us there would
Be no winning
That's how it was
Set up from the beginning
Since MJ
It's still happening today
They want us to play ball
But the referee made a bad call
Players stand tall
Don't fall
We support you all

Premium MemberSuper Sports

In 2016, the Golden State Warriors returned from the brink of defeat.                                                                              Down by Oklahoma three games to one, they achieved an incredible feat.

Who would have believed they would shortly share an identical scenario?                                                                        Yes , they too were defeated when Cleveland portrayed the NBA horror.

Great teams, recovering from sore defeats, believe there's always tomorrow.                                                    They learn to rise from the ashes, and dismiss their agony and their sorrow.

Often, if they believe and don't give up, tomorrow may arrive the same day;                                                 Like Boston's Brady Bunch, who revived to beat the Falcons in a remarkable way.

And then there were the Cubs, downed by the Indians three games to one.                                                                             Who would have believed that  Cleveland would go on to win none?
