For Valentine’s Day, I thought of doing a piece about all the things I love about basketball. I then realized I have done that piece before, in a 2017 piece I called An Ode to Basketball. Strangely, even though that piece talked about everything to love about the game, the picture on the top is a goofy picture of Pau Gasol and Kosta Koufos in a jump ball, which is not one of the things I love about basketball. As a vertically challenged guard, I hated being in a jump ball, and thought the entire concept was unfair.
