I remember they used this to excuse Russell Westbrook for years

Whenever Miami Heat makes a run in their post-Bron era and we have to hear about Heat culture for the 100th time
MVP talk. Sure, a team that’s a bottom feeder shouldn’t have a player in MVP consideration, but just because a player has a good team around them, all of a sudden, they’re MVP caliber? How would those teams look without the player? The MVP should literally mean “Most Valuable Player.” If the MVP misses a stretch of games, the team can’t just be going on without missing a beat.
This never get old to me"So and so is going to the Shanghai Sharks"
The Chinese Ben Simmons intro gets me every single time

"they got a good young core, they should be competing for championships the next decade"
Young cores never win shyt and will never stay together that long in the modern NBA. 2 playoff losses you gotta pack that shyt up.

Oh they definitely did.I feel like they've gotten a lot better with the ones in bold, but I should add I mute most games and listen to music while watching because I hate pretty much all commentators that aren't soccer or hockey.
I don't feel like anyone ever took the non bold one seriously.
There really were people who thought Ronda Roussey could beat up men, including Mayweather.
"Ringz" talk in any team sport is the lowest form of conversation
Also all the GOAT/Top 5 or 10 all time discussions have lowkey gotten played out, especially w/ppl that don't actually watch the fukking games
Frfr.
I also hate when people say "this guy is a GOAT".
One can't be "a greatest of all time"
"The (winning team) just wanted it more"
Stats about match-ups historically.
Well...Superstar 1 and Superstar 2 are gonna have a tough game coming up Friday because Team 1 hasn't won on the road against Team 2 (who currently have Bum 1 and Bum 2 as their two top players) since 1984.
Don't these talking heads realize the rosters change every year?
It's also bad when they say "they haven't beaten them since 2001"
You look up the stats and the teams have played only 3 times since 2001...
Hyping up a once in a lifetime Euro basketball star screaming out "fundamentals!!" which always winds up sh*tting on the Black American-AAU basketball player 
The Spurs are boring. Those 2013-2014 teams were entertaining as hell and gave the blueprint to a lot of ya'll favorite teams.
Emmitt Smith wasn’t shyt without his oline
