Basketball is all soft and cuddly and fight-free now. I mean, all sports are these days, mostly as a result of what the world now knows about head injuries and such. For that reason at least, I see nothing wrong with the people in charge putting rules in place to keep athletes safe. That said,…
Not gonna lie. This whole thing started because I had Fennis Dembo’s name pop into my head the other day, and for absolutely no reason. Well, unless you consider “it’s the greatest name anyone ever thought of” as a valid reason. I dunno. Still, I always have fun giving my memory little workouts like this.…

Robert Swift has always tripped me out. I’ve seen literally thousands of basketball players come and go over the years, and the majority of them were imminently forgettable once they had disappeared from the big time.
Ah yes, the video game that dominated the free time of so many BBall lovin’ 80’s kids, also known in Japan as “EXCITING BASKET”.
