In One Sentence, Why Do You Miss The NBA?

The Good Men Project solicited submissions from writers of all sorts, asking for something simple: In one sentence, why do you miss the NBA? The responses range from the obvious:

↵

↵

"There was no chance of an 80-foot alley-oop from Dwyane Wade to LeBron James tonight."

↵

↵To the nostalgic:

↵↵“When I was 10, I poured milk and ate my cereal every morning with my left hand because my old man told me that’s how Larry Bird got so good with his left hand.”

↵↵To the absurd:

↵↵“Wither Andray Baltche?”

↵↵To the vaguely profound:

↵↵“Because lockout news is ‘he said/he said’ … but the ball don’t lie.”

↵↵And those are just a few. Check ‘em all out over at The Good Men Project. And then in the comments, why do YOU miss the NBA?
