The odds aren’t good. Simply put waiting for an NBA player to make a free throw is a bit like waiting for the Cubs to win the World Series. It just ain’t gonna happen. At least in our lifetimes. It reminds me of one of my favorite stories. Legendary basketball coach Don Haskins, all 250 plus pounds of him, had a player who apparently thought a bit highly of himself and didn’t find his deficiency at the free throw line to be that big of a deal. Haskins challenged him to a free throw contest and let the kid go first. The kid hit a couple out of 10 or so and proudly handed old man Haskins the ball. After the coach hit his 100th in a row without a miss the kid learned his lesson. Don’t argue with the Bear. And learn to shoot free throws.

I’m not sure I’ve ever heard anything in sports quite as heartbreaking as the Derrick Rose injury that occurred late saturday afternoon in the Bulls first playoff game. I did one cartoon for the Chicago Tribune (below) on Saturday evening for their Sunday paper and one for Universal Press Syndicate (above). Comparative studies on the same topic. Which one do you like best?

I’m not sure why the NBA decided to give Metta World Peace (Ron Artest) a break on his suspension (only 7 games). It’s beyond belief really. And yet, no matter how many times Ron Artest has disgraced the NBA (if that’s even possible anymore) they let him get away with it. Personally, it’s one of the many reason I find myself not watching much of the NBA anymore. Between behavior like this and the prima donnas dominating the league, there’s just not much there to cheer about.
