Yesterday, The New York Times published a hilarious or apocalyptic (depending on how much you like basketball) account of NBA players’ attachment to their smartphones before and after a game—and sometimes during.

Halftime is the where the frontlines of a generational divide is splitting some NBA teams in half. Older players regard halftime as a sacred moment of keeping your head in the game while younger players, like the Knicks’ Kevin Seraphin sees things a little differently.

“I’m not perfect,” Seraphin said. “I love social networks.”

Preach.
