I'm Sure NBA & TV Execs Are Thrilled about this Durant Quote

[tremonthustler1]

the change in his persona over these last 3 years is weird to me. anyway the next 3-4 years are going to determine the next tv agreement , should be interesting if the league loses leverage.

Whoever wrote that "Mr. Unreliable" article created a monster

Ever since the NBA got that TV money all the NBA players been acting funny style. Wanting to rest for no reason, complaining about the regular season being too long/pointless, shytting on fans..... I mean yea yall got ya money but yall are fukking this up for the next generation of players.

The message the players are sending is fukk the regular season, wait until the finals to tune in......like those other 94 games aren't the reason they got paid all this money

I don't care what your profession is, you don't devalue your brand to customers like that. And KD should be the last person doing this in that he is one of the main reason paritiy doesn't exist in this league.

All these nikkas are worried about in this era is ring chasing and making money, ain't none of these dudes concerned with the future of the league once they're gone.

Well keep this in mind the next time the players complain about salaries and the threat of no basketball looms over your head and you as a fan wanna choose sides between millionaires and billionaires.

Something objective like " yeah it's disappointing since a lot of teams are hurt, but every team just gotta keep fighting because the playoffs show your true competitive spirit

Blah blah some shyt like that lol. Can't just tell all NBA fans to just not watch anymore

yeah, he's gotta realize that when it all boils down, the NBA is entertainment, and you can't go around giving the paying audience the big on national tv.

 

[Luck]

Jokes on him, I wasn't watchin to begin with

 

[SadimirPutin]

well the other teams should get better

 

[iamduval]

The last 4 mvp winners have cOme from 2 teams. One of those winners joined the other team

It's bad business on both ends of this equation. I don't care how many millions or billions your making, devaluing your own product like this is insane. If it's between this and watching no basketball I'm almost at the point where I'm ready to say fukk it. I have never seen a generation of players/teams with such little concern for the fans and the overall product as a whole. Ring chasing and fugazi contracts are bringing this league down and the players and owners all share blame in that.

The NBA is in denial about the state of the game right now. All the eggs are in one basket and that's counting on the finals to be as great as they were last year.....if the finals don't live up to the hype then what? People will stop watching the game if this continues, it won't happen all at once but the ratings will go down and the pockets of the entire NBA will suffer for it.

This is "look at them celebrate in game 2 with 6 mins left, if you wanna call tapping each other's chest celebrating" Miami Heat big 3 era of forced reasons to hate if you think this comment is that big of a deal

 

[Fade Runner 2049]

The finals won't be any better really, it's goin 5 games at most

 

[Gyasi85]

Never in my life thought I'd lose interest in the NBA, but it's happening.


Got me thinking this really is them last days, brehs



God's destroying all our distractions/escapism and leaving us to face cold hard reality





The Titanic's about to sink

i see nothing wrong with what he said...

 

[Donald Trumps Twitter]

i've watched like 3 entire quarters of the Conference Finals this year (once kawhi went down, because anyone with common sense knew that Boston is GAHBAGE and that series was trash off rip)

 

[the cac mamba]

Fans are the reason he's a millionaire, not his hard work to become one of the 3 best players in the world. Right.

yeah. thats how commercialized sports work

these dudes are playing a game, theyre just better at it than everyone else. people play basketball every day

if there was no one to market to, then these dudes would just be the best player at the Y

 

[Donald Trumps Twitter]

They need to get rid of like 10 teams (any team that hasn't won a championship by 2020 shall be removed from the NBA forever)
