I'm not really a basketball fan, but I did watch the finals two years ago when it was also Celtics v Lakers. I used to think the game was just about scoring two and running back to play defense. Just reverse and repeat all game long. What I never realized is just how hard those players work for those measly two or three points. No matter how spectacular or mundane, no matter how easy or difficult, the scoring play is never worth very much and it takes a lot them over the course of the game to win. This realization gave me a new appreciation for the game.
