The NBA Lockout keeps looming over our heads and we truly don’t have any idea as to when it’s going to be over. As you may know I’m a huge NBA Fan I love the drama I love the atmosphere of individuals complaining to referees about a certain call. The only aspect of this game that I find disgusting is the fact that Flopping has taken center stage. It’s a travesty to the game of basketball and to our Legends of the game. With that said last night were the Espys an award show basically for espn to make an extra buck and to give out bogus awards. The only awards that show true character is the Jimmy V Award, and the Arthur Ash Award. With the lockout the NBA has threatened that if there is any contact with players and owners that they could receive up to $1 million dollars in fines if they break that rule. The Dallas Mavericks with owner Mark Cuban received the award for Best Team. Jason Kidd made light of the moment by saying “You do have the checks, so you can pay the fine,” Kidd said. “It’s only a million dollars.”
This to me was the highlight of the night other than Seth Meyers opening Monologue; ESPN has done better ESPY’S in the past. Overall this was a sub-par event, we can not force all of the blame on ESPN it was also a bad year for sport’s highlights. In comparison the Espy’s are kind of like this years NBA Draft mediocre better luck next year.
