The Bill Simmons Podcast
A Holiday Check-in on Anything and Everything With Chuck Klosterman

Wir wissen wirklich diese Leute, wir fühlen uns, als würden sie es tun. Aber Fußball-Success kommt vom Fakt, dass es nicht auf die Menschen abhängig ist. It is dependent on the actual game.

So basketball is the exact opposite, right? What people seem to care about now is everything else around it. Everything around basketball seems more meaningful than the actual sport. We talk about basketball as much in August as we do in the season. It's almost like the games have taken on this strange, almost perfunctory role, where they're only there for all this other stuff.

And because of it, it becomes completely based on the quality of the celebrities involved. So when LeBron was at his apex, when Curry was doing great, Colby, you mentioned, it was like, you know, it was like, ah, we're seeing these guys, these people, we're seeing these people, these humans doing this and they're awesome at it. But now those guys are still playing, right?

Like Durant's still in the league. Giannis is still in the league. They're not quite what they used to be. We're familiar with them as celebrities. We're not as interested in them and their success because it's like the game is like they've sort of worn out the juice they had as a new person. They're not new people to us now. They're just familiar people who aren't as good as they once were.

The quarterback now, that position has become so outsized compared to the rest. It's almost like a different entity. It's almost like every team has two teams. The team and the quarterback. Did you throw Drake May in there on purpose?

He's my guy. What's interesting about football is because it's so restricted. Aber auch mit Restriktionen bekommst du immer noch eine Art von Originalität. Wie die Uniformen in der NFL. Du musst einen bestimmten Art von Socken tragen und so weiter. Und manchmal, wie war der Running Back vor ein paar Jahren? Er hat legalen Socken geschnitten. Ich glaube, er spielte für Washington damals.

Es kann sein, dass es ein Running Back von Denver war, der nach Washington ging. Ich kann mich nicht erinnern. But there was discussion about this guy's socks, right? That was enough. Because there's so many obstructions. There's so many rules. It's kind of like if you send your kid to a private school and they all got to wear uniforms.
