I've long thought that Basketball was the game that translated best to TV. Short bursts of explosive drama married to just the right balance of tactics, physicality and skill. Many of the my sporting highlights of this year have involved, Kobe, Lebron, Melo, D-Wade and the Truth. Watching Big Baby sink the winning shot in Game 4 against the Magic was probably the best i've felt in months and witnessing the classic duel between Masters Bryant and Anthony in game 1 on the Western Conference Finals was enough to make me forget that the Celtics had no chance of playing the winner (and probably wont make the NBA Finals for another five or six years but thats a whole different issue).
So, question is, why in the Clippers-Hell that Blake Griffin will experience personally, is Game 2 between the Lakers and Nuggets not on English TV? Not on Sky, not on Setanta, certainly not on 5. There's NHL and no Basketball. There's NASCAR highlights and no Basketball. There's a film called MVP - Most Valuable Primate and no Basketball.
David Stern, hear my pain.
