You know, when I was an impressionable kid, Michael Jordan was everything. I had a Michael Jordan clock, framed posters, cards, a special edition watch, Air Jordan's. I mean, I had it all. The man was everything in the world to me.
And then he retired.
And suddenly I stopped watching basketball.
And I've never really returned. In fact, I've kind of discovered that I hate the sport. I just can't get a lot of pleasure out of a game where you can score 100 times. It's just not that impressive to me.
I'm beginning to come around a bit to college basketball, however.
