The Basketball Is Round

(NBA Playoffs 2021)

I find comfort knowing that Steve Nash, a very great basketball player now coaching the New York Nets —purchased by a TaiwaneseCanadian billionaire from a Russian oligarch— was born in South Africa and plays pick-up soccer with Thierry Henri

and Derrick Irving played basketball from Boston University to Buleen’s Boomers and his son Kyrie born in Australia burns sage pregame to honor his Lakota mother

and their great Greek antagonist Antetokounmpo once sold watches on the streets of Athens to support his Nigerian parents’ family of large boys.

And all are honored by Chevrolet and weathered men heaving hay bales onto brawny trucks where once roamed buffalo Lakota Sioux and tumbleweed blown half the world around from Russia’s steppes.
