Bob Ryan Hates Dunks
I know it’s a slow news week, but of all the things to pick a fight about, The Boston Globe’s Bob Ryan chose to go off on an angry old man rant about the Slam Dunk contest:
Sorry if I sound like an old f-word, but somebody has to bring a little perspective to this debate, and I’m nominating myself in the apparent absence of other interested candidates.
As for Gerald Green, would that he spent as much time learning the T-Wolves plays or figuring out how to defend the pick-and-roll as he does conjuring up dunks involving edibles.
For starters, I wasn’t aware that there were people sitting around debating the Slam Dunk contest. I thought that it was just supposed to be a fun, little contest that has no greater significance at all. For another, I wasn’t aware that the best player was supposed to win, I thought it was just about the most creative.
And yes Bob, you do sound like an old f-word. But I would use a different f-word than you would.
