NBA

Living in Southwest Ohio, professional basketball is not all that popular. I don't have a favorite team, but I do like players for various reasons - alma mater, talent, behavior, attitude, etc.. Similarly, there are players I do NOT like - LeBron James, haven't liked him since I was a junior in high school (a long time ago) and I also have strong feelings against catholic schools competing against public schools that don't have the privilege of recruiting, but that's a whole other story.

I'm also not a fan of Cleveland as a city - it smells, it's the mistake by the lake and in general, living in Cincinnati requires that you to hate all things Cleveland (booo Brownies).

So given all that insight - I'm disappointed to hear that TWO NBA players I like are now Cavs- Wally Szczerbiak and Ben Wallace. I am impressed with the 11-man trade coordination with 1-minute left on the trade clock though.
