The dream I had yesterday

I didn't foresee the score of tonight's game, and I admit it's probably disconnected from the reality but the dream I had yesterday was still interesting.

Star-divide

Yesterday I was dreaming I was talking with Derrick Rose. It doesn't happen very often so I asked him "Did Chicago cheat to get last year's first draft pick ?" He told me that if it was easy to cheat every year the first pick would go to an average team and not to the first team in the lottery. This meant no.

Why did I have this dream ? I doubt Derrick Rose knows the answer. It's just with recent terrible officiating in the playoffs and before the playoffs, and the completely rigged Slam Dunk contest maybe I thought the whole league was rotten and devoted to money making instead of running fair basketball games. It's like when you don't believe conspiracy theories and at some point there are enough examples that go in the same way and it makes you look back at everything with a different point of view. Like you know something you didn't before.

I guess if the NBA had better referees, and would not rig fun competitions like the Dunk contest, and would give proofs that referees care about the rules and can't do whatever they want, I guess I wouldn't have dreams like that.

The slam dunk contest

is the only time where I would entertain notions that an NBA contest was genuinely rigged. That whole thing lost all credibility when they lifted the rim and brought out a phone booth. How is that a competition? Why not have somebody zip-line in and leap off the back of an elephant?

the first pick in the draft

has only gone to the worst team like twice or something in the history of the lottery.

From the back of Travis Outlaw's Franz card: Travis leads the team in monstrous thunder dunks, wins awards for post game interviews, and often gets extra points for degree of difficulty.

From the back of Greg Oden's Franz card: Nickname: Jaws. Has an insatiable desire to tear rims apart while cruising the open court, and was once interested in using head-gear for his profession.
