I thought this was a nice back and forth over at the AV club. So often on here, people get classified as player "haters" or "green goggle wearers."  Celtics players are either a 10/10 or a 1/10. No one in green is, say, a solid 6/10. Same for players around the league: Suck or awesome. Champions or chokers. No middle ground. Thoughts?

hyperbole has way more potential.

I mean if you watch your average Blake Griffin dunk you could honestly be like "That was the single greatest dunk of all time".

But then five minutes later he could dunk again and now that dunk could be the new single greatest dunk of all time. 

Whereas apathy is for the unimaginative and people that liked The Graduate.
