If TV wasn't such a dead format, I'd love to see one of these upstart networks take that leap from podcasting or video content and break up the monopoly these platforms got
I haven't personally had cable in a few months, and haven't watched morning sports talk in even longer, but I know so many casuals do and this shyt just brainwashes them

I don't get why they do this?

Its so corny and someone from the NBA should check them on this.

The NBA media needs to stop all this “horrible city” , “small market” crap.

other sports entities have NO PROBLEM hosting events in places like Phoenix( super bowl, BCS Championship) but the spoiled ass NBA media cries if they cant spend a week in LA or Miami like they popping bottles every night at Liv or something.

NFL has successfully held Super Bowls in Indianapolis (Ncaa championships,Big Ten football, and indy 500 are also routinely there as well) and you NEVER hera NFL media conplain about these things.

I'm in Chicago which is 90 mins away and I have never been to Mlwaukee or had had desire to go. Nobody wants to visit that shythole.

:hhh:
Milwaukee has invested some big money into their downtown and lakefront over the past 10 years or so. You should give it a shot.

It will be these same Stations complaining when the ratings aren't what they want for the finals.

They should have their talking heads create intriguing stories for all teams left. And not just now but from atleast the start of the playoffs. Make everyone sound interesting.

Best decision I ever made. You really notice just how trash those morning sports shows are. I don’t use shytty ass espn unless I’m watching a live game.

I can get hot take fukkery from the coli so why would I need a watered down, corporate cac version of that shyt?

NBA media is garbage, they don't care about the NBA product, they care about showing up in the news when Stephen A. or Skip says something stupid again. And then retired players talking about averaging 50 in todays era. That's why NBA is still behind some of the other leagues in the US market.
They sound like they care about the largest markets only, that ain't gon help them get new fans from American areas where basketball isn't popular yet.

To me, that gonna change when they get off that singular megastar shyt because things like that are predicated on how large their market is. Bron was an exception but even he ended up in Miami and LA.

If in the NBA you aren’t worth a fukk unless you have a bunch of rings and play a pretty style in a major market then this type of stupid shyt we seeing now ain’t surprising. It would be nice if a new course was charted but I doubt that. The NBA needs to peep game from the NFL and Intl. Soccer instead of doing this dumbass shyt.

That's exactly what I was referring to when I kept saying that the NBA wants to be talked about year around like the NFL so bad that they will allow any discussion about their product to ensue in the media whether it's positive or negative.

Dudes wanted to call Ben Simmons Hollywood, well that's essentially how the NBA operates. Manufactured storylines and other discussions that take from the product that they have on the floor.
