Re: NCAA Tournament
The play is for Arch to have the ball in his hands and he has multiple options with the first being shoot. Jenkins was yelling his name down the court. Post gm wright,arch n jenkins all said the shot was an option but wasn't the first. Infact wright said it was the last option.
“Kobe had said (after the play) I wasn’t hugged enough as a child,” Bell recalled. “My mom kind of found him after the instance and we had beat them and offered him a hug in the bowels of the Phoenix arena. She really feels a part of that story.”

Different strokes... I loved the reaction.

Re: NCAA Tournament
It was an amazing play. OMG that pass. Absolutely perfect. Height, softness. Flawless. Has to be one of the top assists of all time.
Re: NCAA Tournament
Not really into college ball since there are 57475848 teams. I usually start watching around the final four. Awesome ending. The coach not showing much emotion means he's a cool cat. There is no you should show emotion rule to me. To each his own.
Re: NCAA Tournament
I agree with all of this 100%. One the NCAA hoops side, I just can't keep up with everything going on in it unless I dropped a lot of other things in my life. And it just isn't that important to me. Honestly, the same can be said for the NBA. When I was younger I would watch nearly every nationally televised game (which were much less frequent before cable took off), in addition to nearly all Suns games (not the PPV ones). But today, I am lucky to watch 75% of Suns games... well, these last several years 'lucky' isn't the right word, but you know what I mean... and maybe watch 10-15 other games throughout the year that aren't playoffs.Nodack wrote:Not really into college ball since there are 57475848 teams.

It's not a rule. It's called being a human being.

Re: NCAA Tournament
I had no idea he wasn't a human being because he didn't jump up and down and scream. Maybe he just expected to win, and in the grand scheme of things, winning a basketball game isn't near as important as being a father/father-figure and ensuring his kids are taken care of outside of basketball.
And remember there is plenty of time to celebrate as a team when the cameras and millions of people are not watching.
