“A good basketball game can have us all on the edge of our seats. Games are all about the glory, pain and the play by play. And then there are the more solitary games....The games we each play all by ourselves....The social games, the mind games, we use them to pass the time to make life more interesting to distract us from what's really going on....There are those of us who love to play games, any games. And there are those of us who love to play a little too much.”
