And I see ESPN's bullshit on full display again.

I was going to do this anyway -- talked with a couple readers about this.

As I said earlier, ESPN, to do some content over the course of this situation, has come up with a bi-gendered 64-person Greatest College Basketball Player Of All Time tournament.

We're down to the Final Four.

The bullshit really started when Shaq beat Kareem in the second round.  Yes, you heard right -- Shaquille O'Neal, who accomplished not that much in college, was voted through over fucking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar -- and they deadnamed him back to "Alcindor" for these purposes on top of it!!!.

To no one's eventual shock from that point, Shaq is in the Final Four.  Also over both Hakeem Olajuwon ("Akeem" here, another deadname), and Oscar Robertson.

They at least appear to have gotten his opponent right -- Larry Bird won his region.

But over fucking DUANE WADE???

Are the ignoramuses voting or rigging this thing even considering the likes of how dominant Ralph Sampson was in Virginia -- a man who probably made more of his career in college than in the pros (the opposite of the almighty Shaq!!!)??

Bill Russell at least lost to Bird himself, and that can be a nice back-and-forth for a lot of people -- but at least that one makes fucking sense!!!

Magic Johnson did win his region, and the toughest competition there was probably either Patrick Ewing or Laettner -- who probably is tailor-made for this, because he did almost nothing in the NBA at all.

But then we get Foolish and Wretched One-Dimensional BALLHOG mickey jordon -- Michael Jordan, WHO OF COURSE WON HIS FUCKING REGION.

David Thompson, who was Laettner-esque in college and did have a good NBA career?

BILL FUCKING WALTON GOT KNOCKED OUT so we could glorify Ballhog some more???

OK, Walton lost to Wilt.  That makes sense, but then Jordan beats Wilt in the Elite 8???

OH FUCKING COME ON!!!

Anyway, the Final Four:

Shaq vs. Bird
Magic vs. jordon

Should be Magic and Bird, probably will be Shaq and Jordan.
