Sticking with the Compton theme again this week, this time focusing on Ice Cube's 1993 classic "Today Was A Good Day".  O'Shea waxes poetic about the day he's having and how it all seems to go his way.  But late in the first verse he says, "called up the homies and I'm askin y'all/which park are y'all playin basketball/get me on the court and I'm trouble/last week fucked around and got a triple double!"  Ok... I played basketball in high school and a little college ball and A LOT of pick up ball.  For those who don't know, a "triple double" is when a player accumulates 3 separate stats in double figures (10 or over).  This year in the NCAA Tournament, Michigan State star Draymond Green had 23 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in thier loss to UCLA.  Now... I can tell you for a fact that no one, NO ONE at the park is keeping track of assists.  Or rebounds for that matter.  I always get a kick out of imagining statisticians armed with clipboards sitting on the park benches.  Still a good song, Cube.  Now go make some more of that TBS money.
