Why the NBA is not worth it's weight in salt.

First I must clarify what it means to be "worth your weight in salt." See the actual expression is said to be "worth your weight in gold." But really why is gold valuable. Cause it looks pretty and has the best conductivity of any element on the earth. But they didn't know that in ancient Egypt or Rome. So why is it valuable? It's kind of a rare element but not that rare. It's useless in making actual tools cause of that fact that its way to malleable and cannot be tempered. I mean when it comes to producing tools a common rock would be way more effective. But lets look at salt for a minute. Salt about as common of mineral on earth as you can get. It's in our oceans, in rocks, and naturally recurs. Therefore, salt has almost an unlimited supply. So we know that salt is very common but what we don't know is that it is prolly the most used mineral in this earth. It is used in almost all food and drink products not to mention additives to plastics and paper materials. Before electricity and effective refrigeration salt was used to sustain all foods therefore was very valuable. Can anyone remind me what we use gold for again besides it's conductive properties with electricity and sound systems, oh yeah we use it to make fancy shit for women. So yes utterly useless. Basically we can determine that salt is more valuable to humans than gold. There also is an expression that state a person isn't worth his salt. In Roman times people salt was used as currency so slaves were often traded for salt. So if the slave was inadequate he wouldn't be worth his salt.

On to why the NBA isn't worth it's weight in salt or worth it's salt. Compared to other sports the NBA is not very exciting. What kind of sport penalizes you for being rough. What a bunch of Nancys. Even baseball permits contact. Even in golf if you purposely hit someone with the ball they don't penalize you for it.

The NBA doesn't stay true to it's rules and regulations. Oh lets travel 5 steps for a dunk. Does the NFL just let some offsides penalties go by??? I think not. Does the MLB just allow a batter to hit the ball off his foot and just look past it??? Hell No!

Comparatively basketball players learn the least valuable skills in comparison to those needed in an apocalyptic event. If all technology to were to vanish and men would have to rely on their hands and skills to survive. NBA players would be the first to go. Wow they can shoot a ball through a round metal hoop. Does that get them food, shelter, or clothing??? Baseball players learn skills like throwing small objects in which could be used to throw rocks at animals for food. They swing a bat with a large amount of force and speed therefore giving them the strength and flexibility to swing an axe with ease to make shelter. Football players learn how to harness strength, emotion, and energy for large and controlled explosions. This can also be used for hunting or they could just beat someone up for their food like say a NBA player. Hell even Michael Jordan decided to play baseball for a while cause he realized how worthless the sport of basketball is.

NBA players also forget fundamentals such as not playing defense. The NBA doesn't even remotely think about playing defense until the playoffs start or they need to get into the playoffs.

Lebron James could never play in the NFL he might do well in like Olympic Curling. Sorry, real two sport athletes like Bo Jackson play baseball and football not basketball and tennis like Lebron could be able to.

This concludes my blog for the day. There will be some haters of this blog but overall I think there is quite a bit of legitimacy of my opinion on this issue.
