Does anybody else get really mad when fans start getting excited in the arena? I don’t know, it just annoys me for some reason, since my way of watching basketball is to stare, mouth agape, at the screen, with no emotion or feeling. When the commentators start getting louder and louder, and the crowd all stands up and claps, and the bench starts doing dances, I just want the other team to make a quick bucket so they all shut up. Watching the sequence with Iggy pickpocketing Bazed God twice in a row while everybody goes nuts made me want to punch my eyeballs out the back of my head.
Basketball should be played in empty gyms with the only outsiders being the cameramen. Only then can I truly enjoy watching basketball.
Maybe it’s just jealousy on my part since it reminds me that there are people who still derive joy from being alive.
