Midseason NBA Interest

I'm showing the least interest in the NBA this season. Maybe it's because the Knicks and Nets show very little sign of doing well. Maybe it's because more of the names I know (Reggie Miller, Karl Malone) are retiring.

The NBA's All-Star Weekend used to be a hotly-anticipated event for me. This year, I'm more enthused about the movie of Robert Parker's STONE COLD Sunday night at 9. I don't know that the NBA season is too long, but there are definitely too many playoff spots. Sixteen of the league's twenty-nine teams make the playoffs.

The one thing I'd been waiting to see—LeBron James in the slam dunk contest—will not happen.
