With the way things are going I'm scared that one day when I old and decrepid, my grandkids will ask me, "Grandpa, tell us about the NBA."

And I'll say, "Well, a long long time ago, back when internet stocks were the rage and pro-wrestlers got elected governor, people used to get payed for playing basketball. I know it sounds strange, but yes, millions of dollars were given to tall males who had certain "skeelz." But then these "players" got greedy and wanted more millions of dollars. Their bosses wanted the millions of dollars for themselves and wouldn't give the players any more millions of dollars. So the players one day quit playing and the bosses said 'good riddance!' and no one got paid the millions of dollars for playing basketball ever again. And that's the story of the NBA. Now go to sleep."
