Thursday’s official launch of March Madness brought into focus exactly what is going on in the NBA. All afternoon on TV, I watched a bunch of kids learning how to play. Then that evening, I went to the Phoenix Suns-New Orleans Pelicans game – and watched a bunch of kids who STILL don’t know how to play. The saddest part: the NBA owners don’t seem to care and the press and the fans seem to have bought into the lack of urgency. Not me. I think it is an absolute mess.
