Lawrence Person's Futuramen

An interesting essay from Bill Simmons of ESPN about what’s wrong with the NBA and how it should be fixed. His point is that for the season ticket holders of essentially 2/3rds of the NBA are screwed (the Houston Rockets are listed as one of the non-heinous franchises), and offers up some suggestions on how to ease their pain, including graduated mandatory slashing of season ticket prices every year if the team continues to miss the playoffs. They’re interesting proposals, but should be taken with the caveat that the person who wrote them has actually been a Clippers season ticket holder for the last six years, which suggests of level of stupidity and/or masochism that might well be considered prima fascia evidence of insanity in a court of law.
