2019-2020 NBA Season Thread Basketball • Page 1054

To be fair Luka is only in prime time games cuz they are playing the Clippers

if they were playing the Jazz or Nuggets it’d be afternoon city there too

 

The NFL has said before that the players aren’t the attraction, the team is. Like...that’s the mindset of the “better run” league. They just have a more liked sport lol. If the minds behind the NFL had to run soccer they’d be FUCKED.

 

Right, because when the matchup is boring, like for instance playing a shitty team from a dump like Orlando, maybe you don’t put them in prime time.

 

Dallas will get prime time games forever because they’re one of the biggest markets. Even when the teams suck.

 

Fantasy football is probably the only reason people who dont really follow football know any nfl players besides like brady, mahomes, maybe OBJ.

 

It’s because of shit like this and then I get defensive and vent lol

Apologies for derailing the thread per usual haha

 

Like, 70% of my friends would not sit down on a sunday to watch football but theyre all in at LEAST one fantasy league lol

 

he’s first ballot with those accolades tbh. but also NBA HOF is weird

 

Drew’s irrational takes = Light
Me = Moth

 

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a thousand times ban Laker fans from the internet

 

And real life

 

Lakers fans gonna be really disappointed when the MVP votes come out and it wasn’t really close at all lol

 

Bucks and Packers could win their respective championships in the same year and Drew would complain that the volume of confetti was less than a championship 12 years ago.

 

He's not a Laker fan but throw kendrick perkins in there too

 

Who the fuck is this Ben? Do I even wanna know?

 

Backed

 

ben is bad and the point he was trying to make is jaw-droppingly stupid

jason please make his tweets a thread-bannable offense

 

Perkins is worse as a personality than a professional basketball player and that is saying a whole lot

 

Sure

 

Heh. He’s known for Stratechery.com and basically helping invent the whole pay for newsletter trend. Some of it is good, some of it is so grossly capitalist/libertarian that I get angry at it. Also I’m jealous cause he’s making at least a million a year from all of it. He also has a NoTech sports account that drives me insane and I hate read.

 

It’s easier to market NBA players than NFL players because there are way less of them and their face isn’t covered 95% of the game.

 

Trash Behind the back passes out of bounds run in the family

 

Kawhi Leonard is absolutely taking over right now and you guys are talking about bad Giannis take tweets

 

dude gets near universal respect, is a household name despite most people not knowing how to pronounce his name, has the second biggest jersey and one of the top shoes in the league, has accolades at 25 that only HOFers have gotten, and is on a small-market team that got a disproportionate amount of nationally televised games this season based on its size. his point is not "right." quite the opposite.

people are arguing he isn't DPOY bc a) lakers fandom and b) rudy's defense is more attributable to stats than actually watching the person on defense/help defense. no one is actually up in arms about this lol

 

what thread did you think you entered
