The LA Clippers announced yesterday that they are appropriating the full responsibility of the team's future success to a reckless, immature, cross-eyed, teen-aged buffoon. Granted, this particular buffoon has remarkable inherited physical agility and quickness for a 6'-10" young man, but he shamelessly flaunts a mental ineptness and natural gravitation towards macho, over-zealous, and often violent lack of self-control that often causes basketball officials to "bend" the traditional rules of discretion and respect for one's opponent, in favor of a looser interpretation of these rules that condones a hotheaded, although crowd-pleasing, berserker style of play.
Although this recent addition to the NBA family will likely spell chaos, at best, and, at worst, total failure for the LA Clippers (have they ever not been a failure??), the good news for the next generation of sports fans and athletes is that this young man's style of play is by no means conducive to a long professional sports career, as evidenced by his already frequent knee and head injuries. I can only hope that our future athletes see this example of a short fuse and learn to employ a craftier, more long-lasting approach to professional sports.
But then again, gladiators were pretty popular back in their day...show me the blood!
