Another perk from my work is the ability to watch NBA games on Sky TV. I got to watch the 1st 3 quarters of game 2 but unfortunately couldn't watch the last and more important quarter because I had to leave the house for an appointment. The NBA now is more international in terms of players. We already have Steven Adams with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Australia is represented by Patty Mills with the San Antonio Spurs. Tony Parker who is French together with Manu Ginobili who is from Argentina also plays for the Spurs. There are players from all the continents and they also get to play for their countries (well at least most of them, except Adams who may not play for NZ this World Basketball Championship). Although height is still might in basketball, we still see excellent plays by players who aren't really tall. I guess my father was right (he was a varsity player during his time and a great one at that), basketball is a thinking game. The smaller player who can out think a taller player guarding him can score a point and make a difference.
