This was actually written by Mitch Albom for the Detroit Free Press a while back..
You know it's basketball when the player goes down.
You know it'shockey when the player gets up.
You know it's basketball when the cheerleaders sign autographs
You know it's hockey when the Zamboni driver signs autographs.
You know it's basketball when the players are dating models.
You know it's hockey when the players marry them.
You know it's basketball if players scowl when they come to the bench
You know it's hockey if players gasp when they come to the bench.
You know it's basketball if the fans boo the Canadian national anthem.
You know it's hockey if the fans know the words to the Canadian national
anthem.
You would never see a hockey player remove his earring.
You would never see a basketball player remove his teeth.
You would never see a hockey player do an interview in a shower cap.
You would never see a basketball player do an interview while bleeding.
In basketball, they slam into each other during intros.
In hockey, they save that for the game.
In basketball, when a guy pulls his shirt over his head, he's done.
In hockey, when a guy pulls a shirt over his head, he's just getting
started.
In basketball - in Detroit - when you ask, "Are there still tickets left?"
they say "Sure, the $10 seats or the $19 seats?"
In hockey - in Detroit - when you ask, "Are there still tickets left?" they
say "Sure, 2005 or 2006?"
