“I will find the referees, murder them and then [beep] their daughters”
Posted by Arsenalist on September 10th, 2007
The long summer is winding down, training camp is about a month away and the Raptors have been quieter than a mouse pissing on cotton. EuroBasket 2007 is going on but it doesn’t do much for me, same for the FIBA tournament, I prefer club basketball, so much more meaningful and watchable. But it’s not all bad because Darko Milicic just made the summer a little more interesting. His thoughts on the officiating at EuroBasket 2007?

Nice. Naturally, there’s a massive discussion of this on RealGM.
On a completely unrelated note, YouTubing Bill Walton gets you this video where he’ s made a connection between The Age of Romanticism, Beethoven’s 3rd Symphony in E-flat and Boris Diaw. I’m not joking.

Nowhere but in the NBA will you find material like this. The season is approaching, grab the feed.

i would trade every analyst/commentator/ass kisser that mlse/sportsnet/tsn has employed for walton. he says a lot, with fancy words and references, without saying anything…freaking genius!
i actually like milicic more now…basketball officiating is the worst officiating period…doesn’t matter at what level or what league.

I dunno – I think you can get OTT commentating out of pretty much any American sport, not just basketball. I seem to remember about fifteen years ago Al Michaels comparing a long, dramatic late-season extra-innings game to Beowulf, on the grounds that – well, that it was long and dramatic.
Good clip, though.

Man, I think Mike Tirico’s trying so hard to not laugh when Bill goes “it was 201 years ago today..”. Walton is insane.
