Now, however, the message applies more than ever: Get thee to a TV and watch Russell Westbrook play NBA basketball.
SEE ALSO: Liberty University: A Christian institution sells its soul in search of sports successThe NBA's supernova superstar started this season on a rampage -- and he's only turned the heat up since. Now, a quarter-way through the NBA calendar, Westbrook stands a very real chance of finishing the season with a feat no one has pulled off since 1962.
On Sunday night, Westbrook's Oklahoma City Thunder won their fifth straight game. And, for the fifth straight game, Westbrook posted a triple-double. That effort made Westbrook the first NBA player to register five straight triple-doubles since Michael Jordan (ever heard of him?) did so in 1989.
For those scratching their heads, the triple-double encapsulates well-rounded domination like nothing else in basketball. A player must register double-figures in three statistical categories, most commonly points, rebounds and assists. It's a box-score line that says: I do it all; I dominate this game from every angle.
Only one player in NBA history has averaged a triple-double for an entire season -- the legendary Oscar Robertson, who did so way back in the 1962, when basketball uniforms featured belts and itty-bitty shorts.
But here's Westbrook now, averaging a triple-double of his own. A quarter through the season, his gaudy numbers are 31.0 points, 11.3 assists and 10.8 rebounds per game. He has 10 triple-doubles in 21 games.

What's more, Robertson played during a time notorious for its accelerated pace -- which created more possessions per game, and thus created more opportunities to accumulate statistics, and thus arguably makes Westbrook's stats to date the more impressive accomplishment.
Here are Westbrook's last five games -- which again, were all Thunder wins.
Dec. 4 against New Orleans: 28 points, 17 rebounds, 12 assists.
Nov. 30 against Washington: 35 points, 14 rebounds, 11 assists.
Nov. 28 against New York: 27 points, 17 rebounds, 14 assists.
Nov. 26 against Detroit: 17 points, 13 rebounds, 15 assists.
Nov. 25 against Denver: 36 points, 11 rebounds, 17 assists.
Those are demented, fever dream, acid trip numbers. What makes them even more crazy is how Westbrook accumulates such totals. He's only 6-foot-3, which is tall for an everyday guy but below average for an NBA player. He was unranked as a high school recruit.
But Westbrook makes up for all that through a cartoonish level of athleticism and by playing at all times like he's pissed off and looking for someone to blame -- or at least someone upon whom to take out his rage. It all leads to moments like this extremely excellent slam-and-saunter.
And this coast-to-coast drive in which Westbrook turns on the turbo-booster just past half court.
And this play in which Westbrook creates an open shot for teammate Enes Kanter, disappears from the frame, then pops back onto the court to go airborne and corral Kanter's miss. Gonzo basketball, baby.
As much as his statistical domination of historic proportions, it's jaw-dropping moments like those that make Westbrook must-watch. Sure, the Warriors -- now featuring Westbrook's former superstar Thunder teammate Kevin Durant -- are remarkable. Yes, LeBron James remains the best basketball player on planet Earth.
But it's Westbrook who is the NBA's most irresistible character right now.
The Thunder next play Monday night. Their next national TV game is Friday night. Here's their full schedule.
The rest, dear reader, is up to you.
