I came across two good articles on basketball recently.
The first is a long Michael Lewis article on Shane Battier. I know it doesn't put me in exclusive company to be a Michael Lewis fan, but that guy could write about paint drying and I'd be fascinated.
The second is a Stanley Fish piece on pick-up basketball. It's shmaltzy, but pretty good. A few months ago I played in a public park in Denver where I was the only gringo, and some of what Fish writes really resonates.

I once had dinner with Stanley Fish. He talked about old westerns the entire time, except for the two minutes when he wanted to know what my father did for a living. For those two minutes, he looked at me as though I were the subject of an anthropological investigation.
