He's always saying slick shyt about them...not necessarily about Steph. Honestly, he shouldn't announce their games, but that's not really his call.

Probably a little harsh to call him a ho though, since I understand why he's salty.
He said nothing salty here.

Tom Brady isn't the NFL. The main problem with the NBA is that they put more emphasis on the back of the jersey than the front of it. They do a shyt job of promoting teams as opposed to players.

Players have a shelf life. Teams don't.
I agree with this post but the NBA cant begin to promote teams until they fix the balance of power in the league.

Them "fixing things" is the problem...just look at the Chris Paul trade.

The NBA is more concerned about artificially creating things than they are about organic development.....and they absolutely give zero fukks about anything that can't be marketed nationally.

On KRS One's nose, eating sunflower seeds.
i know they banned dunking because of Kareem but I have trouble reconciling that white folks were saying that "Air Jordan" was hurting the game

they banned dunking in basketball in the NBA from 1967-1976
Dr. J was playing in the ABA at the time but by the time MJ came around it had to have been pretty commonplace, right?

Jordan was considered too fancy and a selfish ball hog , so yes AT ONE point they, white people, were saying that he was bad for the game....until a few years before he started winning. By some, he was considered the anti-Magic and anti-Bird, his game didn't bode well for some media/white people. No one really talks about that era of Jordan.

Isnt every league like that to an extent though?

The Dallas Cowboys could go 3-13 and still get multiple national games and hours of coverage simply because they're a bigger ratings draw than even a good Cincinnati Bengals team.

The NBA has done everything in their power to make sure that the league is balanced but they can help it if the league's stars want to play with their friends in glamour markets.

Can anyone explain the drawbacks if NBA goes back to requiring man defense?

Is it just that there would be more isolation play and less ball movement?

Because offensive efficiency would certainly go up while the focus on three-point shots would go down, if that's really the problem.

Did shaq hurt the game?
bad logic right here. how could shaq hurt the game when most people are not even 7 feet let alone 315 to 330 llbs moving like shaq.

so they cant emulate shaq. there's a reason big men's shoes dont sell well no matter how nice they may look. or i should say, they'll sell ok but no where near as good as a perimeter player. because perimeter players games can be emulated by smaller guys(normal sized guys).

steph is one of us. he's a normal size guy without some insane athletic ability. technically 6'3 isnt normal. but in basketball terms he's short on the court among other trees. he cant run as fast, or jump as high as lebron. KD is almost 7 feet. these guys cant be duplicated. due to their body being abnormal in comparison to basketball players even those in the nba.

Steph is ruining the game. and no its not his fault. But its true. They see the MVP, best player in the league(sorry bron). chucking. and he's the small guy on the court. the entire planet will chuck.

Jordan ruined the game as well if you wanted to know. especially during the era of bigmen and point guards.

Iverson ruined the game as well for a time. i'll admit that . i couldnt stand all the dudes trying to cross people up to blow a layup or air ball a jumper right after. but you would think they just hit the game winner how they reacted if they got any slight shake going on a dribble move.

but again non of these people were as good as allen. not even close.

LOL@Curry ruining the game. But it was fine when volume chuckers like Marbury, Iverson, and Francis where attempting 27 FGA on 41% shooting in the early 2000s?
NO it wasnt. you probably dont remember how bad the use to bash starbury, stevie franchise and iverson. they couldnt stand those short shooting guards in a pg body.
