The Illuminated Donkey

Rumble! What would sports be without a growing and pointless rivalry, and there seems to be a fine one brewing between Nets fans and Wizards fans. It’s a strange one, between two long-suffering teams now among the league-leaders, built almost entirely on some Jordan-related hype and two home-team blowouts. But dammit, after a decade of being ignored by our should-be rivals across the river (who are now too pathetic and discombobulated for us to even pay attention to), we’ll take whatever vitriol we can inspire! February 21, baby!
