Why do hoops fans believe what they see*Easily the best poem I've ever read that concludes with a wry, wistful reference to Luke Ridnour.
When there’s no sense weaker than sight?
Why do hoops fans take such delight
In crossovers and dunks, those simple dreams,
But hardly ever reward those players
Like Joe Johnson or Shane Battier,
Who have complex and strange games---
Whose skills have layer upon layer?
**You may also enjoy this short story from Mr. Alexie. I did.

Short story is in the eye of the beholder, took me forever to read it. But you're right, the New Yorker story was excellent.
