LeBron has been a toxic brand for the NBA these last 5 years or so.. dude needs to just pack it up and call it a career.....
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
You're talking about a league that partitions teams into divisions, yet doesn't award them higher seeding in the playoffs.
You're talking about a league that holds a tournament with a "prize" being that winning teams get an 83 game season instead of an 82 game season.
You're talking about a league that levied a fine against Oklahoma City for resting players--in a victory.
What that amounts to, is a league that makes it explicitly clear in their actions that the outcome to any given regular season game is far, far less important than the "narrative" the league pushes adjacent to said game.
The NFL is the inverse of this, whereby their narratives are driven post-de-facto by game results.
The NBA made this bed. It's a shytty regular season product that they give viewers multiple off ramps from every year by sabotaging it's value through poor rule implementation.
The only thing worse than the NBA regular season is the paid posters that come on here, reddit, and realgm, and try to make it seem like there's a MAGA agenda at play when people rightly, and continuously, point out the contradictory and devalued nature of the regular season.
If you want to pretend like it's a valuable prodcut, go for it, but just know that the league itself disagrees with you, so take it up with Adam and let me enjoy the Masters, hockey, baseball, or literally any other sport where regular season results translate into meaningful playoff ordering, instead of being secondary to Stephen A. Smith rant-fodder to attempt to drive their "bread and butter" aka, social media engagement.

Imagine one of the NFL analysis actually crying about all the NFL players out there that be practicing shirtless on the field pre-game
Just look at the unprofessionalism of these nikkas. This is an outrage!
The only thing keeping Zeke relevant was his beef with MJ.
Lebron passed up MJ so now Zeke gotta beef with Lebron for relevance. GOAT problems.
lol, Zeke had the wrong info and made himself look foolish.
This is not shoot around or warmups. This is LeBron on his own time, hours before warmups doing work.
Ever player is MANDATED to wear TEAM warmup attire doing warmups.
Thats all there is to it unless y’all wanna drive some more agendas.

So what's your solution breh? The league wants more games because more games means more revenue from TV contracts, ticket sales, souvenirs, etc. The problem is that NBA rosters are small there's only 5 guys on at a time so one superstar can really dictate the trajectory of the team. That's why you're seeing some of the highest salaries per year in the world being paid to stars. High salaries and worshipping allows stars to dictate everything...from on court decisions and to back room deals and all the way to deeming the season useless, not playing to preserve their health and longevity so they can be paid for more playing years. Then on the other end the media and fans fuel this narrative that championships cement legacy which is fukking wrong in the decade of multiple superstar teams.
Baseball has a similar problem maybe worse. Their season is way too long. People go to the stadium to get drunk and eat and not watch the game at all.
