Some General Basketball Thoughts
(Blog Maverick)
-
Mark Cuban: "Give up your body for the team. Get the turnover and the ball back even if you are going to be in pain the next day. Go team! In reality however, its HORRIBLE for the NBA. Not only do you put both players involved at risk for injury, but it takes away some of the most exciting and watchable plays in basketball."I don't know about this blogging "phenomenon." Maybe not everyone -- present company excluded, natch -- should have a blog, but people who are in the media a lot should really consider a blog. Even if ghostwritten, it's probably the best way they have to control "spin" on their own stories; newspapers and magazines have a product to push, so they probably don't care as much about the story as the subject who's getting covered.
Take Dallas Mavericks owner, Mark Cuban, for instance. Lots of old-school owners want to say that Mark Cuban is just some young, upstart whack-job who got lucky in the dotcom boom and bailed on it before the bust, with carloads of cash, but as I've been perusing Cuban's blog recently, he comes across as a young, upstart whack-job who's also a pretty solid, innovation-minded businessman, always focused on improving the essential parts of his operation. In the case of the NBA, obviously, that essence is the "player." And in that light, what he has to say about taking hard fouls -- and their effect on his investments, the players -- is really interesting. He's a fan ... who also happens to be an owner, and he's got a weblog. Boo-yah!
