I mean people were literally saying inside the nba is the reason for the declining ratings. I’m not mad at Chuck at all. I hope Chuck and the team takes all the smoke to espn. ESPN really need them so it’ll be interesting to see how they handle this.,

NBA media is pathetic :heh:
I wondered if it had to do with basketball being a more individualistic sport, but it's not just former players and SAS is probably the worst one of them all. Mainstream basketball coverage is absolutely cooked. You fire Zach Lowe to give SAS a 100 miion dollars. That's crazy.

First Take always talks about the Cowboys. That was manufactured during the SAS and Skip days and then Shannon got in on that when he was with Skip. Shannon also got in on the MJ/LeBron debate with Skip. It's all manufactured debates. SAS was forcing that Deion or Beli coaching the Cowboys storyline just because it would give him more material. 90% of this is SAS and Skip's fault.

NFL Live which is the best thing ESPN has going covers the entire league. Every team gets coverage.


I don't watch anymore ESPN shows so I don't even know if NFL Live is good or not. The whole network is a brain rot. Only tune in if there's a game. I watched their NBA post game coverage for the first time in years after the C's game a few weekends ago and there was another game coming up so I kept it on and it was the post game crew with Perk, Malika, Chiney and some other dude (I don't remember). shyt was unwatchable. Malika gotta be the worst host of all time. Host supposed to bring energy and some good personality to keep the show going, she's a net negative. She should be doing CBS Nightly News where it's just depressing shyt because that would be perfect for her tone and personality. Perk just talking dumb shyt trying to get his Steven A on, and Chiney interrupting and never letting people finish their sentences. shyt was TERRIBLE. Who the fukk greenlit this crew and thought it was a good idea?

Go get TNT's second crew with Wade, Candace, and that host (don't know his name) and stick Legler in with them. That would be the best crew as far as post game analysis.

The only thing they've gotten right in a long time as far as hiring is getting Buck and Aikman doing Monday Night.

Only thing on ESPN I consistently check for is NFL Live. They have a great team that's entertaining while still covering the X's and O's. If the NBA coverage was as competent as the NFL I'd tune in. The dumbing down of NBA media is a major reason why I didn't follow the league anymore.
