What if these nikkas had made it into the game before this was discovered ala KD? What if someone else does that and we don't find out until the 3rd quarter? You straight putting your top 20 players, the nikkas that people tune in to watch and bring the big money in, at risk for an exhibition. And you are doing it in Atlanta of all cities :mjlol: :snoop:.

NBA should take the 5 days rest but Silver all bout that dollar bill.

I mean is this shyt really gonna bring in that much money? Does anyone know exactly how much they are getting for this? It better be an astronomical sum to even begin being worthy it.

If u paid hundreds of millions for a tv contract you would insist as well.

They paid hundreds of millions for the all star game? Didn't Disney pay billions for the NFL? We didn't have a pro bowl. Haven't had any all star games in any sport where hundreds of millions or billions were paid. How would you feel if you paid billions for the NBA and there was no Bron, Steph, Giannis or any of the other 20 most popular players for 2 weeks because of one exhibition game that you didn't even air?

I'm all for millions of people tuning in to watch the royal family get shyt on.


To watch some royals complain about getting sonned and their only weak ass comeback is to talk to oprah.

Man,.... Take your sonning and stfu harry.

You wanted it one way but it is the other.
I would rather watch the imaginary royal dynamic in zamunda.

It's part of the contract that they signed and stipulated along with TNT. They both overpaid for the rights more than any other network was offering at the time. The players could have said no to having the All Star game if they wanted to, but didn't want to lose the revenue that came along with it.

That's on them and their NBAPA President.

You see Jimmy Butler chose to say fukk it and sit out (which I think he's lying), but still. Them other cats could have taken the fine (which is the rumor) and sat out too if they wanted.
