I Have the Perfect Fix for Everyone in Need of Basketball and Entertainment

Day 1 without sports was tough. Everything we all love is just gone in the blink of an eye and will be for the foreseeable future. it sucks. Everyone is looking for something to do now that there is no basketball, hockey or baseball on when we get home — and boy do i have just the thing for y'all.

One Tree hill, in my humble opinion, is in the running for the greatest television show ever created. It is nearly perfect in every way. And if you need a nine-season fix of basketball, this teen drama will give it to you. I sat down last night and re-started from the beginning and watched the first three episodes and had a better time than I probably would have watching the Preds anyway.

I don't even know how to distill all my thoughts about this show into one blog, but just know that it's incredible. OTH has everything: basketball, high school drama, romance, murder — seriously — and simply put, just 187 episodes of a great time.

I'm sure many guys out there are thinking they're too good for a teen drama, and I was once just like you. But I promise, once you relinquish your ways and allow yourself to embrace things like One Tree Hill or The Bachelor for what they are and become enveloped by the beauty, you will thank yourself for it.

The later seasons are heavier on the drama, so if that's really not your thing, you can just watch the first couple and see what you think. But the first season or two is almost exclusively basketball. It's perfect. And I would almost guarantee that anybody who watches the first season in its entirety will not be able to quit.

The Lucas Scott—Nathan Scott—Dan Scott rivalry, best friends Brooke Davis and Peyton Sawyer navigating obstacles of their own, single mother Karen Rowe trying to give her son the best life possible while doing her best to get past the memories not soon forgotten by a small North Carolina town, all while Coach Whitey Durham tries to lead the Tree Hill Ravens to their first-ever state championship.

We all want some sort of basketball and I can promise you that even if you don't know it yet, you want what else OTH has to offer as well. Go watch this show.
