Basketball is a great television sport. As with football, the optimal viewing angle is inhabited by the camera; you can sit at this angle in person, too, but it's prohibitively expensive, especially for the most important games. There are annoying things that production crews do which blunt this perfect perspective—like "hero shot" cutaways after notable baskets, or in-game interview segments that needlessly double-screen your monitor, shrinking the action.

A few weeks ago, a portion of the NBA fraternity attempted to saddle one of their leading peers with an indignity.

People are paranoid about how the world works. Understandably so. There is much that is poorly explained in terms of how our institutions do and don't function, and about who gets the spoils versus who has to eat poop sandwiches every day as a matter of survival. The world is, in other words, unfair—often in structural ways, but often, too, in random ways.

Tyrese Haliburton had a bad start to this season, and so did his team. During Thanksgiving weekend, the Indiana Pacers were just 6-10, and their star point guard was putting up dismal numbers: 38 percent shooting from the field, with just a 29 percent average from beyond the three-point arc.
