I mean if you go to a game you can see it.

NBA games be showing kids dancing on the big screens and family type of activity. It’s more of a safe environment at NBA games.

Go to an NFL game and they splashing cheerleaders on the Jumbotron. Fans get into brawls at football games as well. Like someone said, straight gang shyt. Football for the most part is a far more explicit crowd compared to basketball.

When you look at the face of the league in both sports, Football has a lot more edgier/crazy players. shyt, even the White players: some are country dumb but nice guys like a Gronk or all about throwing down a beer and talking shyt like a Brady/Manning. NFL loves faces like that. That kind of culture seems more like Ant’s speed in contrast to the chess-playing, book reading Wembanyama that he mentioned.
I go to both NBA and NFL games. A lot of drunken idiots and scumbags at NFL games. That sh*t ain't mature.

Not everyone wants or is built to handle those expectations and there’s nothing necessarily wrong with admitting it.
There is no benefit. Back in the day it got you more money and opportunities. Now everybody is getting paid and getting endorsements. Also it used to be pure glazing with occasional warranted criticism now its people literally making up reasons to shyt on you. In short the cons far outweigh the pros.

This is basically the Charles Barkley, "I'm not a role model" play.

This is also how Adidas has been marketing him with the bold and brash commercials where he's "himself" and cursing at every stop you see him at.
A LOT of these youngins are rocking AE1s. A LOT OF EM.

I can see him as the Barkley of Guards tho

They’re gonna try to make it Wemby anyways. The interesting part for me about the Wemby push is the faces are typically someone kids want to be?

How are the average kids supposed to want or dream of being a 7’5 guy?
