There's a great scene in the novel _Marathon_Man_ in which it is
described how it isn't always necessary to overwhelm a seemingly superior opponent in order to defeat him. Goldman gives as an example how a lesser basketball player could make Kareem Abdul-Jabbar miss a shot simply by giving him a nudge at just the right moment. Of course, Abdul-Jabbar was one of the greatest players of his age. Some goof claiming to have superior credentials in philosophy and law, but who spends 12 hours a day playing a brainless and ****witted "zen game" in Usenet, certainly isn't a formidable intellect or a demonstrably superior opponent, and it doesn't require much of a nudge at all to get him far off his game. It was fun being the one doing the nudging anyway. |

Trust a dip**** like you to play dirty. I don't believe a "nudge" is allowed in basketball. |
