I know nothing about basketball.
Correction: I don’t care about basketball.
I know the basic rules of the game (throw it in the hoop), the basic philosophy of the modern game (the nerds told me to throw it in the hoop from further away more often) and most of the big name players. My son is a big fan of several players, but he too remains on the periphery, not knowing the intricacies of the game enough to discuss it outside of his saying “Tyrese Maxey is cool!”
However, I know that the recently completed Luka Doncic/Anthony Davis trade that just happened over the weekend is NBA-Earth shattering.
