1. a game which involves lots of jamming of the fingers and being too short to make the ball anywhere close to the net

2. a sphere of the color orange that has a very strong urge to jam fingers
Josh: Bro! Lets go play some basketball
Andrew: As long as it wont jam my fingers!

Get the basketball mug.
A sport you don't see guys getting knocked out in, no matter what a sports writer tries to tell you happened in the game. Another thing you don't see is a ref counting down until the guy has to leave the game if he can't get up at the end of the countdown, even if that would be a more interesting basketball game.
The other guy kept throwing the basketball at Joel Embiid's head, he was relentless, and down went Joel Embiid. He could not get up and walk away from this one, he was knocked out, the ref got no response during the countdown, just a lot of twitching.

Something not everyone feels like watching/playing all summer long, during the most casual time of year there is. The way things were done before the pandemic, where the finals ended a month before late July was good enough, since it was good enough from the creation of the league roughly until the pandemic. There never needed to be an extra month of basketball, where a few people keep changing schedules and games until the team they want to see win finally does.
By late June, people have watched enough basketball, there's no good reason for it to continue a month longer. It doesn't create fatigue for anybody, it's aggravation at a casual time of year not meant for excessive levels of aggravation, and the aggravation is there no matter what team gets the championship. Late summer isn't basketball time because it never was.

the worst fucking sport on this planet earth, don't care what you say. it is sweaty 6'10 male kardashians trying to get a ball into a circle. i can't with this sport, all the players are divas, its so fast-paced that it will make your head spin, the nba version of Gary Bettman, Roger Goodell, Scott France, and Rob Manfred is trying to market this to everyone in the world like hes mark zuckerburg even though nobody gives a shit, its fans are at the top of the list of fans you don't want to mess with or you will be on the back of a milk carton, the fucking face of the league in the 90s became one of the most hated men in charlotte that his term with the White Sox is more relevant, the players try and flop harder than Ronaldo can ever imagine, some teams are so bad that they could be beaten by the Oakland Athletics in a game of basketball, players are so over their heads that they buy 10 million dollar mansions with a fountain statue of them when their averaging 6 points a game, the media has been on the train for so long that some cities try and witch hunt haters. its a fucking disgrace to the sports world and will be better off without it existing, the NHL is more entertaining anyway.
Person 1: hey do you want to go to a basketball ga-
Person 2: SHUT THE FUCK UP DARRYL
