Asian/Pacific Islands Basketball is Confusing
I like watching all kinds of basketball. Or as the Spanish might say baloncesto. I feel like I can relate to basketball at any level. Yes, I much prefer the NBA to anything else, but I'm always down to chill out on a college, high school, or international game.
But I have never watched a FIBA Asia game ever. In fact, I just found out it was called FIBA Asia because of Google and their website, which a) exists and b) has a theme song that autoplays that is hilarious. That is my entire understanding of FIBA Asia basketball. And judging by some recent photographs, that's probably the most I'll ever comprehend, because holy cow what is going on here?
In FIBA Asia basketball, large women guard small men while the kid from Little Miss Sunshine watches from press row.
In FIBA Asia basketball you can only block shots through the rim.
FIBA Asia basketball is very emotional.
In FIBA Asia basketball, some players have the ability to float parallel to the ground. This is a perfectly legal defensive strategy.
Similarly, in FIBA Asia basketball, some players can make the ball levitate. If you levitate the ball, you can advance it as if you were dribbling. It is not considered traveling because it's magical.
FIBA Asia basketball is heavily influenced by the Harlem Globetrotters.
These are the only known facts about FIBA Asia basketball. I learned them from reading the website, so I'd suggest you check it out then come back here so we can have an in-depth discussion about FIBA Asia basketball. Also, magic. We can talk about magic since that's all you want to talk about these days.
