CLEVELAND - Zydrunas Ilgauskas is right, of course. One hundred percent correct. Thursday night's game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Miami Heat is just that: A basketball game."There are more important things in life: people dying from cancer every day, kids dying every day, people having HIV, people fighting wars," Ilgauskas told FanHouse Wednesday night. "There are more important things than the Miami Heat going back to Cleveland.
"Let's put life in perspective, it's just a basketball game."
Ilgauskas spoke in the context of Cavs owner Dan Gilbert hiring a law firm to investigate whether the Heat acquired James while breaking NBA rules, a story broken by Yahoo's Adrian Wojnarowski on Wednesday. Longshot? Who knows. But Gilbert has the right to hire the law firm if he wishes; it's his money, and if he thinks the Heat broke the rules, more power to him for pursuing it.
In that sense, Ilgauskas might be a tiny bit off.
But in the bigger picture, the all-of-life picture, his words are noted, proper, correct and commendable. It is just a basketball game, and it pales in comparison to cancer and war. To even insinuate it doesn't is ludicrous.
