I have wondered about that, since some people have outdated/strange notions
about our players that couldn't have been formed by someone who watches
every game (or, at least, most of them).  Of course, some people don't have
the opportunity to watch the Celtics, and have to rely on the 'Net for
their info.

No kidding! I haven't had the time to do a count, but sometimes it seems as
though these three account for 90% of the games shown on TNT, TBS and NBC,
with the Bulls being the Keri Strug of professional basketball in terms of
# of times shown. I know Jordan is fascinating and may be retiring, but
come on! This has become really annoying, much like Kareem's and Magic's
numerous retirement tours. I won't even get into the topic of the newly
annointed gigastar named after a Japanese city.
