It’s these fucking know it all owners and gm’s
The new retard mentality is thinking its best to be in the lottery rather than a low playoff seed. Harvard degrees yet to obtuse to realize this aint a video game. These so called smart white people with advanced degrees are showing that IVY league talent is trash unless the system is fixed for them to win.
Stupid ass white boys to dumb to realize that losing pretty much ruins prospects. They act like niggas got some emotional switch ready to turn on when the team is "ready' to win. They act like fans are supposed to ignore years of losing and come running like hungry dogs one the team is good.
Tanking simply means you are a farm team. The Lakers and Celtics franchises are fucking leaches with inflated ego. The Lakers had three top 2 picks. Developed zero starters with their draft capital. Then proceed to raid the league for talent and taking away any competitive balance.
I will say this and you and quote me on this. The Pistons and Bulls are the teams that put the NBA on the map. The Lakers and Celtics winning in the 60s, 70s, and 80s never built the league into shit. Pistons were drawing 40k fans and were setting attendance record the Celtics and Lakers could only wish for.
Physical play and a competitive leauge are what brought.the league to prominence. The league was floundering in 2003 when the 2004 Pistons brought back ratings. Only for the league to repeat the dumb shit they did with MJ and put the fate of the league on one man.
It not LeBron fault per se, but the rsting are down again and the NBA is stuck on stupid with Lakers vs Cetics narratives for the thousandth time. They want to blame Covid but the NFL ratings are only down 6% while the NBA is down more than 50%. Silver wants to taint the league furher with silly ass play in games for the playoff and dont mean shit tournament that they are making up out their assholes.
They need to axe fag boy and make Jerry West commish. Jordan the new logo. Get rid of the 4/5 year contact max. These nigga need to stop with the pick up bball and start guarding players at the half court line again. Stop switching teams every 2 year and get some chemistry.
Swallow the bitch ass whistle unless you are in the paint and make dudes make contested shots. Seeing dudes hit wide open jumpers is boring as fuck and FT make me want to sleep. Bring back fighting to sports and stop with the soccer mom suspensions.
Lastly, I need to NBA to understand who butters its bread. Gen X has money and the desire to watch sports yet the league is trying to cater to millenial who make less money and rather watch NBA twitch the a real game. If we dont watch or participate the NBA will basically have tp pander to foreign interest like China.
The NBA needs a gut check soon and needs toget back to its base. Otherwise it will become a second tier sport. The NBAPA better take notes because when those salaries start going down the money and the fans aint coming back.
The ball is in the NBAs court. I told them what the REAL fans want. If you want EURO flop ball please start an NBA Europe and flop til your heart is content. Please bring the real NBA and stop with the Soccer Mom League shit. Make the NBA great again.
