One thing I did learn [watching the game] was that in addition to not having one ounce of athletic ability, being white, and having no vertical, and only being able to dribble right handed, I couldn’t play in the NBA because about 43 times last night I heard things being said that would have made me swing at someone. These guys talk MAJOR trash on the floor, and the great part is that most of the times I’ve seen it the guy on the receiving end usually doesn’t respond much, if at all, and just plays the game, schooling the guy who feels like he needs to talk to make his game better.
If you make it down to his comments on Kobe Bryant, you may find it hard not to conclude that Bryant is an exceptionally talented ball player and an exceptional prick otherwise.

Basketball...
Is that the one with the big bouncy spherical ball?
Pause to consider redundancy of sphehrical ball... Quick check.
Ha, "ball" comes from the old english for testicles. And to blow? As surprising etymologies go, that one is right up there. So maybe call it basket-testicle-blow... Now you will remember?
Etymology:
Middle English bal, prob from Old English *beall; akin to Old English bealluc testis, Old High German balla ball, Old Norse bǫllr, Old English blāwan to blow — more at blow
Date:
13th century
1: a round or roundish body or mass: as a: a spherical or ovoid body used in a game or sport.
spherical ball versus the ellipsoid, or prolate spheroid, ball.
I use the term "football" to signify that not all balls need to be spheres.
Also demonstrated in the definition which you yourself referenced:
1: a round or roundish body or mass: as a: a spherical or ovoid body used in a game or sport.
A ball can be ovoid. Hence, spherical ball, NOT redundant.
So there.
Good point. And just look at testicles.
These balls are made in full-grain leather cover to fit any team's need.
“A revolutionary high rebound latex is used to adhere the cover material to the carcass enhancing touch & playability.”
It's like the real thing! Correct me if you think otherwise.
