After being too busy to rant for the last couple of days, I’m back with more little things that annoy me.  My biggest gripe right now is with NBA players who like to argue with the referees over EVERY FUCKING call!  I understand that you may not agree with calls now and then.  That’s fine.  They blow a lot of calls…I get that.  But geez…don’t argue every call, especially if you actually make the shot.

Look, I love Kobe more than anyone else, but nothing pisses me off more than when we drives the lane, probably gets hacked but there no call, misses the shot, and then argues with the ref while the opposition is off on a fast break.  Do you really think that the ref is suddenly going to change his mind, stop play, and reverse his decision?  No!  So why don’t you go back and play some D…chances are they won’t call a foul on you either!

This phenomenon gets worse during the playoffs, with some of the biggest offenders being Kobe, LeBron, Paul Pierce (who, apparently, has never driven the lane and NOT gotten fouled…oh and someone should probably tell him to lay off the cheeseburgers, he’s an ACL away from turning into Oliver Miller), and Sheed.  I know why they do it too.  It’s to pass the blame.  Instead of just missing the shot, they blame the refs for missing the shot.  It’s kinda like when I complain that I’m not getting a big raise b/c my company is cheap rather than b/c I like to write blogs during work hours.
