2013/11/22: Basketball

Talking about North American Sport you basically talk about “the big four”: baseball, basketball, football and hockey. Of course there are many Canadians who are interested in soccer or curling or whatever. But it’s basically these four. And in Canada you can forget about the three others as soon as the hockey season has started… I wrote already twice about hockey in this blog (here and here. Today I just wanted to mention that I finally also watched a basketball game, therefore I completed the big four. York University against Brock University, a 85-71 victory for the York Lions! “Our” lions keep fifth place in the ultra-competitive OUA East standings (according to this report). It was a very good game. A little bit disappointing that there weren’t any beautiful cheerleaders, but different from football and baseball, at basketball the game itself is exciting, so you don’t need an intricate frame program…

First real club experience in Toronto; first ride home by taxi; first “blue shot” (and second…); import beer (used to Molson, Moosehead & Co., you consider Carlsberg and Heineken as godsend...). Now I'm rich in experience, but poor as a church mouse...
