layman

damn, so im writing my streetball in hk story for SCMP right now and for the first time ever, i have to write hoop in a way that can be read by casual readers or people who dont give a crap about basketball.

i mentioned Iverson in my piece and it's just weird to have to then explain who Iverson is.

usually, in forums or blogs, i just call him AI or Iverson. now it's "Allen Iverson, professional basketball player for the Memphis Grizzlies franchise".

then i wanna write stuff like dropping 17 points but instead i have to go "scored 17 points".

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
