Finally the secret is out.
Here we at Basketbawful thought
we were the ones deftly mocking the ignorance and ineptitude of many NBA basketball players. We thought in the grand scheme of things that even though we do not possess the athletic talent to play in the NBA, at the very least we can cling to our higher intellect, our superior ability to analyze and satirize.
Oh, how we have been played.
Now, our worst fears have been realized. It's all part of the endless PR campaign, the relentless effort of those in the public eye to remain relevant and hang on to our attention. Oh, how easily we were lured into the trap.
Who would have thought that such seemingly directionless people like Allen Iverson and Stephon Marbury were so savvy and manipulative?
I'll bet you Tiger Woods isn't even
really screwing anyone on the side. God, that's why he's the best.
What suckers we are.

which I suspect may be yet another behind-the-scenes conspiracy.)

If there weren't 100 reasons to root against the Lakers winning the title this year (I may have to get around actually listing that), this one is high on the list. Nothing guarantees self-destruction like collapsing in the playoffs when they were favored to win. And now we'll get to see it. Remember, if the Lakers don't win, Artest said to blame him.

I caught all the rant thing, but can someone explain what's a PR firm? Is it like a player's sponsor?
Thanks :P
And although I know you don't make money for this site (basketbawful) it makes me want to quit reading ANYTHING you write.
