[net.news.groups] Alternate name for net.sport.basketball

tommyo@ihuxw.UUCP (11/04/83)

Instead of the potential problem with net.sport.baseball
and net.sport.basketball, how about net.hoops?  Other
alternatives could be .roundball, .bball, .dr.j
I think .hoops is pretty good.

Hey, how about Ralph Sampson.  He did pretty good vs.
the Spurs, though Artis had him for lunch most of the
time when he took him down low.  I heard he had over
20 pts. when he went up against Stipanovich the other
night.

For another rookie to watch, check out a guy on the Bulls
named Wiggins.  He seems to be getting good playing
time, and has been scoring in the upper teens.
Also, is Derrin Day for real, or is he just getting a lot
of hype `cause he came out of the great b-ball machine
at UCLA?

I vote for net.sport.hoops  over .slamdunk or .nba
