Sounds crazy but–the Ewing Theory
Bill Simmons has written up a wacky idea he and a friend came up with, which they call they Ewing Theory. In a nutshell, it goes:
- “A star athlete receives an inordinate amount of media attention and fan interest, and yet his teams never win anything substantial with him (other than maybe some early-round playoff series).
- That same athlete leaves his team (either by injury, trade, graduation, free agency or retirement) — and both the media and fans immediately write off the team for the following season.
When those elements collide, you have the Ewing Theory.” The column goes into detail on examples, possible future cases, and applicability to the world of entertainment. Cool!
