Fantasy: One day, I’ll be watching the game from the stands, one of the players will be injured, the coach will throw up his hands in apoplexy, see me 10 rows up, make an “I’ve Got a Crazy Idea” face, and ask me (with his eyes) if I’d like to put on a uniform and play.

(Like this old Jason Alexander pretzel commercial.)

Anyway, the crazy thing is that last night in the NBA, this was close to actually coming true!

Welcome to my new series: Trying to Make Sports Interesting To People Who Are Convinced They Don’t Like Sports.

Zack2: Summary: the Golden State Warriors actually ran out of players, such that they had to insert an injured player into the game to literally limp up and down the court. Might as well have picked someone from the stands.

Zack: No summary needed. They can read the post I link to.

Zack2: No non-sports fan will read that guy’s blog post.

Zack: Yeah, probably not. Don Nelson sounds like a completely fake, made-up name if you’re not familiar with the guy.
