Ignorance Is Not Bliss

This was a story in Newsday today:

Lebron James loves playing at Madison Square Garden, which is known as The Mecca of Basketball. But Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo isn't impressed with the Knicks' home.

"To me, it's just another arena," Rondo said of playing at The World's Most Famous. "I'm too young to know about the tradition."

I think, instead of too young, what he meant to say was that he was too ignorant.

Contrary to popular belief, it is not that difficult to pick up a book to educate yourself. Hell, all you have to do is flip on the MSG Network for a day to have the history of the Garden shoved down your throat.

It's a sad comment and what makes it even worse is that he doesn't even realize how pathetic it is. The modern day athlete is surely something to behold.
