Blue Chips currently edges Semi-Pro 53–47
Basketball comedy and basketball corruption deadlocked — two approaches to the game.
The Verdict Decade Duel
Semi-Pro loves basketball the way a child loves it — with no understanding of the business and total commitment to the game. Blue Chips loves basketball the way an adult loves it — with full understanding of the business and complete despair about what the business does to the game. The tie says both kinds of love generate equal engagement when voters are choosing between them. Ferrell's Jackie Moon and Nolte's Pete Bell are both men who believe in basketball more than basketball's institutions deserve. The split respects both the belief and the disillusionment.
