It's like a fucking religion. You enter their temple in which you completely dedicate 2 or so hours to boosting their egos. While in, you scream things like "Great job!" and "Go Get 'Em!"...any type of inspirational bullshit that happens to spew from your mouth. You stand at least 95% of the time and, worse than all of the previous combined, you pay money to do this.
I'll go ahead and agree with Mr. Cent when he says that it's no mystery why many basketball players have a tendency to be on the cocky side. Of course, the cockyness doesn't apply to all members...but to say that it refers to a majority wouldn't be unbelievable.
If I found myself in the shoes of the basketball players, I'd probably end up starting my own cult. I'd spend my time trying to shoot lightning from my palms and fireballs from my ass. Even though I'd never succeed, I'd always have the impression that I could do anything because, hey, I'm a God. Thousands turn out every night and pay cash to view me run through paper whilst a band plays in the background and my name is blasted through the loudspeakers. Anyone in that position is clearly a god. I mean...what type of mortal gets that type of treatment...?
