I'm really wishing that the sports scene will grow in steemit.  I have a feeling it will.  
Maybe I'm in the minority....but I actually like the fact that the NBA is getting back to being a bit more physical and "manly".  I was getting tired of seeing the soft- "going through the motions" attitude along with everyone being best buddies out there.  
I hear what you guys are saying about keeping the "stars" on the court for the national games.  Someone has to be the fall guy....right?  lol
Lets keep it "real" though....nobody even threw a punch.  Just alot of yapping, pushing and staring.  Once they breached the other locker room....I knew somebody was going to need to be the sacrificial lamb.   Glad to see some sports on here!!  Enjoy boys.... :)
