Guess who scored 7 points against ex-NBA Lamond Murray (who once scored 24 points aginst Bull's era Jordan!)? According to basketball-reference.com Murray made 45 million over his NBA career. One of the Bahrainis on my team plays on the team that Lamond's team knocked out of the cup. He said Lamond is only making $9,000 a month here.
No one gives a shit about basketball here. The league only exists because the Saudis probably have one and our King doesn't want to be outdone. The tickets are free but they still can't even quarter fill a 3,000 capacity stadium. Each team is only allowed one foreign player and these Americans seem very... out of place. For instance, I once saw Lamond in Fuddruckers on a Friday night just eating by himself! He's 37, made 45 million, and is only a few years removed from the NBA! Why's he eating in Fuddruckers by himself on a Friday? I've never seen him smile. Maybe he was always a cunt, though. My teammate said he's a cunt.
Anyway, my company entered a team in a tournament. Lamond was playing so everyone was buzzing especially me, but Lamond didn't seem like he gave much of a shit. Fair enough. He was a shooting guard in the NBA, but at 6-7, he's a centre here. I had to mark him. He scored 26 points on me in a 36 minute game, and I scored 7 points on him, so if he scored 24 points on Jordan, I think that scientifically proves, I could have scored 3 points on Jordan.
Anyway, the funny part of that tournament was that our team got knocked out by a Bahraini club in the quarter finals after half our players refused to return for the second half. You haven't seen flopping like how the Arabs flop. The Europeans flop to work the refs. It's just acting to them. But, the Bahrainis couple this with their genuine pussiness, so their flopping is from the heart. On top of this, they're all mates with the refs and it's corrupt as fuck. It's a disgrace. I felt bad for the Americans when I was watching, but playing is a million times worse.
So, during our game, this argument stopped play on an inbounds pass
My teammate: "Don't scream like a little bitch.".
Tough guy Arab: "WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?"
"I said stop screaming."
"YOU CALLED ME THE BITCH!"
"No, I just said stop screaming."
[So we're all thinking there's going to be a fight but...]
"YOU USED A BAD WORD! NEVER USE BAD WORDS! NEVER!!!"
So, now we're all freaking out that he's not just a pussy, but some kind of religious nut. He goes to the ref and says in English, "He used bad words!" but the ref didn't react, so he switched to Arabic and all his team gathered around and tried to make this seem like a huge deal.
A couple of minutes later, I missed a putback and instictively said, "FUCK IT!!!" and got whistled for what I assume was a technical. I went to the ref to complain that I wasn't swearing at anyone but myself. I wasn't saying "fuck you" or anything. He whistled me for another foul.
Anyway, I was trying to smooth things over between us and the Arabs because one of the Arabs had asked me where two of my teammates work as if he was going to fuck them over later. It was a retarded question too BECAUSE IT WAS A WORK TEAM (so just read the top, dipshit). So, I was trying to settle things down until I stepped on the side of a guys shoe a million miles from the ball, and he screamed like a bitch, so I apologized and patted him on the back, but at the touch of my pat, he jumped forward and screamed as if I'd pushed him! No one saw it but me and him and he wasn't the least bit ashamed. Fucking faggots.
Anyway, my team walked off at the half. I was the only one who stuck around afterwards because I wanted to get my medal as a cool souvinour. Lamond's team won the tournamet. Poor Lamond. |
