EL BLOG ILUSORIO DE RUDY: A Whole New Ball Made of Wax!

A Whole New Ball Made of Wax!

By virtue of virtuous play, my mates and I mashed the Denver Nuggets. This installs us into the play-offs! Further, the achievement gives us a majority of play-off matches on our home court.

Our opponent will be the Houston Rockets, led by Yao Ming. As stated (see The Cap of the Stone Giant), even among NBA players, Ming is strangely large; note below how he renders Greg Oden into un pequeño niño!

I understand that the Houston players aim to end a long drought in play-off victories. But my mates and I wish for Houston to remain as parched as the Texas intellectual scene, even while sweet rain falls on Portland!

Adición: To sound the personal note, by hitting six threes this evening, I broke the NBA rookie record for long-distance shooting in a season. This is not displeasing. (Further, El Chacho had a career-high 12 assists!)

Rudy's Hypothetical Rules of Basketball

1. In ten years, nobody will remember the details of score, assists, or rebounds. They will only remember who won them a chalupa.

2. Any shot worth shooting is worth shooting twice.

3. When not shooting on offense, you should be communicating, passing, and running. Also, yell “Foul!” repeatedly. Why? How can officials summon help if you yell “Good D!” or “Our opponents are superior!”?

4. If legitimately called for a foul, say, “A good call!” (Do this no more than once a game.)

5. When in possession of the ball, have a plan. Further, have a back-up plan, because the first plan won't work (unless you are Brandon Roy).

6. Use cover or concealment as much as possible. (Both Oden and Pryzbilla provide these in abundance.)

7. On defense, ignore words and direct your eyesight to the ball. (Opposing Cleveland, LeBron James told me he would pull up for a jumper. I advanced upon him. Then James drove baseline with great speed. Both of my ankles gave way!)

8. The faster you begin an opponent’s blow-out, the more shots everyone will get.

9. Be polite and professional to everyone you play against. Then destroy them, for they wish to defeat you.

10. Practice shooting in a dimly-lit practice area with someone shouting unflattering threats at you. (I found this useful in Europe, where partial power outages were not uncommon.)

11. You may feel sad about snapping another team’s back with a clinch alley-oop or a clutching 3-pointer. But sadness is preferred to losing. And the winning will then bring happiness. (In the case of defeating the Lakers, the happiness will be most pronounced.)

12. Purple is not my color. (It may not be anyone’s color.)
