20th-Century Ego: Basket-Heroine(s)

An iconic media-broadcast era college-athletics 'gem' (Duke-Indiana) prompts a 'prince' to consider the value of cheerleader-heavens.

A vignette about why broadcast sports in the modern time of media/fanfare highlights all the hyperbole of our capitalism-race itself, inspired by Blue Chips (Nick Nolte). 

DISCLAIMER: This work of sports-media 'fanfiction' offers no commercial/legal ties to the referenced schools/teams (Duke-Indiana) and all images used herein therefore comprise a purely 'personal' exercise in social history dramatics (for 'open' direction).

Amlan Satan had become a capitalism-scholar and blood-diamond insurance-integrity chess-analyst (with Interpol-relation!) and wished to evaluate a special media-broadcast era college-game, a men's basketball 'showcase' between Duke-Indiana (1992), featuring a 'reunion' of the two legendary coaches of American athletics, Coach K and Bob Knight, highlighting an intense if somewhat ABCD rivalry between the Duke-Indiana 'stars' (Hurley/Cheaney). The Earth-prince (Amlan Satan) hoped to find a 'cool' simulacrum in capitalism-chess with this Duke-Indiana media-image to create an iconic social-media 'light' for ideations in personality-driven Western hyperbole (wow).

SATAN: Sports in the West is like oxygen/ventilation; college-athletics highlights American investments in media/markets/money, and Duke-Indiana is a 'parallax' for pro-basketball, given the special 'aura' of competition-chess and why the 20th-Century Homeland cheerleader is the 'Aphrodite' of a heavens-circle for 'serious' basketball hyperbole.

Well, the Earth-prince had 'sound' reason to consider why/how this special rivalry between Coach K and Bob Knight would fuel this special media-light for competition-chess in the broadcast era of athletics and college-activity (for social-media examinations!), and that 1992 Final-Four 'showcase' between the Duke-Indiana stars (Hurley/Cheaney) only illuminated the 'quality' of capitalism-class heroics/history (hmm).

Indiana looked very strong, and its pivoting/rotational breakout play by its various talented contributors, including its star (Cheaney) revealed how they simply blew-out UCLA to reach the Final-Four showdown against the still-hot Blue Devils of Duke, coached by Coach-K. The Hoosiers of Indiana, coached by Bob Knight, looked like they'd been 'poised' enough to simply breeze past the Blue Devils, led by prodigy-guard Bobby Hurley, should they maintain such poise at this high-level of televised Western-American Homeland hyperbole.

Despite the strong inception of Indiana's stance in the 1st-half, Bobby Hurley engineered simply a 'cool' mechanical flow of team-contributions to steer clear of dangers and marshal his gifted squad of teamplay-oriented (well-coached!) college athletes to just maintain their top-level of controlled offense; they simply drove back the Hoosier-tide and won the game.

SATAN: Me thinks this Duke-Indiana showcase of college-athletics in the media-broadcast era of Western-American sportsmanship/competition suggests that capitalism-race 'chess' offers varied symbols/imagery regarding the 'force' of heavens (or hyperbole)...which is why our Homeland basketball cheerleaders have been cast in this social-media culture of personality as 'Aphrodite' messengers of the 'dark' side of competition --- the 'fury' of hubris.
