The thing that I don't like about basketball is the bouncing.

You know where that came from. They started playing and it was too easy to just carry the ball down court and throw it in the peach basket, so they had to make it harder. They then made this nonsensical rule that you have to bounce the ball while you're moving. There's no reason you should have to do it. It has no metaphor for reality. You just have to bounce the ball to make it a little harder. And then everyone ignores the rule anyway.

Basketball should be more like football. You barrel down the court carrying the ball and other players try to stop you or knock you down or steal the ball from you. If you get down court then you can shoot. That, my friends, is a game. If people want the ball, they have to take it from you with violence. This bouncing thing is pathetic.
