The Cheese Monkeys to me was very confusing. I had to read it a few times before anything in it made sense. My favorite part about it was that Chip described the perceptions. How when we say things are big, in relative to what? It could be as large as an elephant in a cage or as big as the size of a cell but under a microscope. All of the perceptions and how we make it is different depths, shapes, sizes, or positions.
The one thing of The Cheese Monkey I did not agree with was that the way he went about describing the audience as viruses and the enemy. Also I disliked how he described dimensions. It made it nearly impossible to me to understand how he was trying to describe the differences with shapes and lines.
In The Heresy Zone Defense I really appreciated how Dave Hickey Had first had experience with the Julius Erving miraculous shot. Also I agree that changing rules will always help keep things from getting boring. Just like in sports, rules were just changed in the NFL and just like sports life needs to have rules changed constantly because the only thing that is constant is change.
I do not agree with Naismith's thought that basketball got coaches no matte what because without coaches players would not learn about their mistakes or get a different point of view on points of the game without them. Also he said that with out basketball gyms there would be no programs, I am sure that basketball was started from people throwing or shooting a ball through a ring or even a basket. I know at home when I was a kid my brother and I made our own BASKETball court in our hallway with a clothes basket that we cut the bottom off and we shot things through it and played against one another. Lastly it really bothers me that Naismith says the game is not beautiful or brave anymore. Yes, there are many parts that are not like the greediness and cockiness that almost every professional player has. But there are many young kids who made a name for themselves and are true to their roots.
