There are two things bothering me about the NBA these days. First, the "Superman Dunk" by Dwight Howard is not worthy of the hype. Is it me, or did he not even make it close to the rim when he threw the ball in? I think there is an argument that it wasn't even a dunk. I mean, I have seen Dr. J leave from just past the free throw line and make it to the rim. I saw Jordan soar to the rim from the free throw line and make it to the rim. So, when this guy puts on some kids' Superman pajamas and can't even make it to the rim, I'm just not that impressed.
Second, have you ever noticed where the NBA allows some people to buy seats at a game? Jack Nicholson notwithstanding, there are usually 6-10 seats on either side of the scorer's table where fans can sit. Then you get to the coaches and the bench. This really bothers me, and wonder how coaches feel about it. They are trying to coach, and end up sitting next to some fan. For example, when Phil Jackson sits on the bench, it is almost as if he does not have enough room to do so from the lack of room thanks to the fans sitting almost right next to him. When they get up to walk down the sideline, they are coaching directly in front fans - literally. I have no problem with floor seats across from the benches, hello Spike Lee, but putting the fans between the teams and the scorer's table just doesn't seem like a great idea.
