When and why did people start saying "They need someone who can score the basketball." instead of "They need someone who can score."?

Is this part of REALLY. SMART. SPORTS. ANALYSIS?

I have always found that to be a strange statement. I am with you on this.

This is almost as good as OKC's "Tough Shot" thread. Almost..

I also like when guys like Hubie Brown say "The painted area".

It's a virus that has spread from football, where it is imperative that you run the football, pass the football, control the football, protect the football, and take away the football in order to win this football game. I sincerely lament this development.

That's an East Coast thing, right? It has never sounded right to me. "Dad, wanna have a catch?", this big moment of the movie, sounds like something the aliens from The Simpsons would say to pass for humans.

We are merely exchanging long protein strings. If you can think of a simpler way, I'd like to hear it.

We used to say a baseball player is bad. Now we have to say he's bad at baseball.

That's a Bernstein thing, which has spread to pretty much the whole station. I'm sorry for having used it.

Winner.

That is the most overused sports term. So bad.

"Football move" is also kind of silly. I realize I'm watching a football game, thanks.
