A Chicago vs NY/KMS Basketball Game Would Be A MOVIE
First things first, shoutout to both Team New York and KMS for putting on an absolute spectacle last night. From start to finish, that game was electric. The National Anthem was barely over before punches were being thrown, and from that moment on, chaos reigned in the best possible way. Kirk ripping the ref’s whistle clean off his neck and launching it across the gym like a used condom? Iconic. Refs physically picking up players like they were toddlers at a playground? Unbelievable. And Dana Beers? The man looked like prime Shaq out there. I’m not exaggerating when I say it was one of the most entertaining events I’ve ever watched.
I had adrenaline rushing through my veins just sitting on the couch. At one point, I even said I’d give my left nut to play in a game like that and I meant it. You’d be out of your mind not to want in. The storylines, the tension, the bad blood, the yelling, the physicality, it all captured exactly what makes basketball beautiful when played with raw passion. Nobody tuned in expecting elite basketball fundamentals. And if you did, respectfully, you’re an idiot. That’s not what this was about. This was about grit. This was about pride. It was sloppy, it was chippy, and it was pure theater. And honestly? I could watch it all day.
The more I think about it, the more I want in. And if Marty Mush is serious about this NYC x KMS superteam taking on the Chicago office? Count me in. Sign me up right now. That’s assuming I’m still around when it happens, if it happens. But if it does, I want to be a part of it.
Let Dana choose his side, but even if he opts out, I think the NYC/KMS combo still fields a nasty squad. You’ve got Matt from Providence, Kirk, Marty, Rico, Mulkayhe, and a few others who can ball. That’s more than enough talent to throw together a competitive lineup. But let’s be clear, we’d still run them out of the gym. Maybe I’m wrong. But I doubt it.
Our starting 5 would be:
Me
Hank
Chief
White Boy Rick
Dana if we have him
So let’s stop talking and start organizing. We got our guys. Now it’s your turn. Get your squad together, and let’s make this game happen.
