4:11:42 PM Tara Ariano: He’s a writer.
4:11:45 PM Will Edmondson: he’s a moron
4:11:53 PM Tara Ariano: I’M GOING TO MISS THIS!
4:12:07 PM Will Edmondson: the super team is going to KILL the NBA!
4:12:14 PM Will Edmondson: all the star power is going to be condensed on ONE team
4:12:19 PM Will Edmondson: its completely counter intuitive
4:12:24 PM Tara Ariano: I know, right?
4:12:30 PM Will Edmondson: do you want to watch the NBA, or do you want to watch the Miami Heat
4:12:35 PM Tara Ariano: Totally!
4:12:46 PM Will Edmondson: it’s going to be the equivalent of the Harlem Globetrotters

i enjoyed this, but…
all the star power on one team? what about kobe/gasol, garnett/allen/pierce, carmelo/chauncey, dwight howard/vince carter, durant/westbrook?
would you rather watch lebron and a bunch of scrubs vs. wade and scrubs vs. bosh and scrubs, or lebron, wade, and bosh vs. the lakers/celtics/magic? the winner would be exciting basketball.
super teams rule!
Yes, Irwin, I agree that seeing All-Star games every night would be a great thing. But, that’s not what would (will?) happen. You would have Bosh/LBJ/Wade vs the Lakers/Celtics/Magic at best 4-5 nights a year. The rest of the time, you’d have the Miami Heat making a mockery of the rest of the pathetic Eastern Conference every night. It’d be like watching the Harlem Globetrotters beat up on the Washington Generals, but without the confetti showers and aggressive traveling.
Of course, to play devil’s advocate, this would make the NBA Playoffs extra fun, and if we saw a Lake Show/SuperHeat NBA Finals it would be great. But, that would just make the regular season that much more worthless. And it’s already pretty worthless! So what’s in it for the rest of the NBA? Six months of boring, stupidly one-sided Heat games leading up to six weeks of really competitive fun games? The season before an inevitable lockout? No thanks!
Will you be writing elsewhere on the internet? Your movie reviews/discussions are so enjoyable! (And so is your other stuff too, but I can’t figure out how to express it without sounding stalker-weird).
Was wondering what was going on over there, I just thought my Google Reader was broken… Sad face! Let us stalker-weirdos know where you end up next. And bring Will. :) In the meantime, can I suggest another roadtrip with podcast accompaniment?
And wherever you end up, I beg, BEG you to resume the old-school 90210 eps recaps. Best of luck in your next venture!
Thanks, everyone! I can’t take any other work until the green card comes (probably later this month), but I’ll use this space to pimp out whatever I do next.
So is this like the plot to The Proposal then?
I think you’d make a great Sandra Bullock!
You guys need to get the xtranormal software so that you, too, can make hilariously bad animated versions of your conversations:
