What a dumb ass. He doesn't even justify a response in my opinion. I could care less about basketball of any sort, but that's just ignorant and silly.

And by the way, who exactly does he think is distracted by the "jiggly parts"? Probably the men watching, which has nothing to do with the players' skill level or ability.
