West Virginia

Basketball is funny. I never really noticed it before, but things are getting out of hand this week.. there's just too much too laugh about.

The Yao Ming/Ron Artest spat.. in which Artest claims he is the paradigm of black culture, "I don't think he's ever played with a black player that really represents his culture as much as I represent my culture" is flat out funny. (I seriouslly thought the various Artest quotes came from the Onion, but they're actually real.)
