Got a call the other day: “Scoop, you goin’ to the Bay for All-Star?”
Response: “Naw. Not interested.”
Got stopped on the street earlier this week: “Scoop Jackson. Thought you’d be in San Fran for All-Star. Since you’re here, where are you gonna watch the game?”
Response: “Probably not going to. They’ve turned it all into too much of a circus. It ain’t even about basketball anymore.”
There was a time for many of us when the NBA was the (our) NFL.
