Possibly the sexiest place in Taipei. Summer time basketball under the urban freeway. So much squeaking and sweating.
My readers know that I only care for sports in so far as there is someone interesting to look at. This basketball photo satisfies my basic requirements: Hot guys in uniforms (and not!), check. Inexplicable actions, check. Physical conflict that seems to mask physical attraction, check.
And I am left wondering why is the main stomper holding hands and locked arms with his teammate to his right?
There’s some story about how this brawl put an early end to an exhibition match in China with Washington DC’s Georgetown team. Thanks Ericthefez for photo & story.
Wat Misaka was the first non-white basketball player in the NBA in 1947. Sixty-two years later he revisits Madison Square Garden. A nice article in the NY Times, and soon a documentary film “Transcending: The Wat Misaka Story.”
