[OTA it should totally be like this though, preferences for shippy things on journal.]

[justashadow]

(I agree it should totally be like that. Interested in movie night with Kuroko?)

[intheclutch]

[[Yes, please!! (I suppose we'd need more people to make it really like that, but they can do movie night any-old-way!) Are you okay with starting?]]

[justashadow]

(We would, sadly. Let us catch them all and make it happen.

^^ I sure can! Okay if the movie is actually a video of plays they're studying? I can imagine the two being interested in that.)

[intheclutch]

[[I'm totally down with that! It's movie night for basketball dorks. It just makes sense. (Also sorry in advance for the slow. I'm not speedy, but I will happily backtag till the cows come home!)]]

[justashadow]

(I just want to let you know I haven't dropped this or anything! I'm not the best at starters so some take me a bit but I'm usually better after that. I'll try to have one up tonight or early tomorrow. I'm sorry it's been so slow!)

[intheclutch]

[[No worries. I'll be here whenever. If you get stumped and would like me to start I don't mind, just let me know!]]

=D I finally got it! Let me know if I need to change anything!

[Aside from basketball, Kuroko didn't have a lot of after school hobbies. There was homework, sometimes reading, sometimes enjoying a nice vanilla shake as he just watched people -- something easy to do when you were never noticed.

What he rarely did was sit in front of television, especially with someone else. Even if it turned out to be old basketball videos and even if the someone was his basketball sempai, it was still an unusual situation.

As the videos had started, he'd been sitting further away but as they continued, he found himself moving up, careful to stay out of the way but unable to keep his eyes off the screen.]

Even if the other team has a good defense, they can't do anything against an offense that's so fast.

this works for me!

[intheclutch]

[It really is a bit different, given how most of their time around each other is when they're with the rest of the team, or at least a couple of other members. Hyuuga doesn't generally make it a habit to spend his downtime hanging out with first years either, but a couple of people have canceled for this afternoon and a couple of others have said they might still try to make it later, so for now it's just the two of them here at Hyuuga's house, sitting in his living room.

His family is out for the day, so the TV has been requisitioned for basketball without contest, and there's a pile of homemade DVDs with old games ready for them to watch. This one is a real classic: game five of the 1991 championship series between the LA Lakers and the Chicago Bulls--the first year the Bulls ever won the championship back in the early days of Michael Jordan's career. But there are some other all star names in the line up too: Scottie Pippen for the Bulls and Magic Johnson for the Lakers.]

The speed of the whole game is intense, but the Bulls keep converting and the Lakers have been turning the ball over a lot. They aren't controlling the game, even when they're in the lead.

[[OOC: Sorry for taking liberties, but I thought that perhaps we might want a game reference so we know what they're actually watching. The one I am thinking of is on youtube here.]]

[justashadow]

They seem very evenly matched, even if they keep talking about the Bulls' Ace.

[Most teams had one, even if some were lucky enough to have two or more. In this one though, it seemed they talked about the Michael Jordan the most, as if he was the one to make the difference between winning and losing.

But games like this were more exciting. A lot of times, unless it was the Generation of Miracles playing against one another, games kind of tended to be one sided. It was hard to watch if the losing team had their spirit beat down, knowing how hard they were trying and knowing how they felt to have such a wide gap between them and the opposing team.]

They both must have really good coaches, too.

[intheclutch]

[His focus still on the action on the court, Hyuuga answers Kuroko's observation while continuing to watch the game.]

Of course. But the Lakers coach this year was Mike Dunleavy--his first year coming into the post after Pat Riley left the Lakers to coach the Knicks in New York. Riley was one of the best coaches of all time, a five-time NBA championship winner. Dunleavy had some big shoes to fill.

The Bulls coach, Phil Jackson, like Riley, was one of the best in NBA history. They're both in the NBA Hall of Fame, but this season coaching the Bulls was his first championship. He had ten more after it.

The players may be evenly matched for talent, but in a battle of the coaches, Dunleavy is outmatched by Jackson. [He may not advertise it often, but evidently Hyuuga watches a lot of NBA games in his off time.]

[justashadow]

[Kuroko wants to watch the action too but as the other play spits out knowledge of another country's basketball, he can't help but be impressed. Personally, he studied a lot of plays but a lot of his time had to go into actually improving, as he himself was the least athletic on the team. But to know so much, he really must have studied hard...]

You seem to know a lot.

[It's an observation, a fact. For someone who wasn't terribly social, he enjoyed studying people and this seemed like an interesting fact he'd just learned about his sempai.]

Do you watch a lot of American basketball?

[But then his own eyes go back to the screen. It really is a good game.]

[intheclutch]

Hn. [Hyuuga gives a nod of assent, his focus still on the game.]

It's different watching NBA games than any other kind of basketball. The Generation of Miracles are prodigies from a single year, but everyone's still young. Even the NBL and bj-League are different than American NBA. These guys are the best in the world.

I admire the way a lot of these players play. Ray Allen is one of my favorites, but in this game it's the Bulls number 5, John Paxson. He's a great three-point shooter with amazing speed.

Have you watched mostly Japanese basketball before now, Kuroko?

[justashadow]

Yes.

[It's a simple one word answer but there's really not much of an explanation behind it. He was sure there was a player that probably fit his own profile out there but he had yet to find it. Even for the Japanese Basketball games he wasn't terribly tall and he had no skill outside of passing, not really. So far, he couldn't find a professional player that matched that criteria, not yet. Still, he enjoyed watching them play, give it their all and work as a team. That was why he loved basketball more than anything else.]

I don't watch very many NBA games but they have a lot of skilled players, too.
