Legit one of my favorite things I’d ever seen from the nba to unveil this project during the playoffs when they did. Loved the fact that Kobe was the one narrating it too. So many things he points out that can change or open up just from where the man making the entry pass is positioned that nobody who casually watches the sport would comprehend.

Honestly that's on basketball in general.
Football has ALWAYS stressed the importance of film study and its even incorporated into the pre-draft process. They routinely ask players what their college or even H.S. coach's favorite play was and then have players diagram it and explain the concepts.
We see dudes like Kurt Warner breaking down QBs and showing where the QBs mistakes end and where the coach/OC/scheme problems begin. Ryan Clark, Swagu, Orlovsky...all those dudes will give you the details in a summarized way of how shyt works.
Legler and Hubie do good work on that front but the big time faces of the NBA media really don't show the intricacies of the game. If NFL fans understand which concepts beat Cover 2...or how defenses can screw up presnap reads.......NBA fans can understand details of the Pick N Roll.

Finally somebody said it,unless its a woman with a fat ass breaking down plays on a big screen,nobody is tuning in for that. Has anybody ever tuned in for that as basketball fans? Was NBA media even really thought of before Inside The NBA on TNT. NBA media basically follows that blueprint,becauase it is the blueprint.
If thats the best he got,and he thinks that will somehow enhance the game,he shouldnt be commissiner. And if you need a smoking gun to get him outta that position#CheckTheComputers

The fukking goat nba analyst.
I could listen to this dude talk about basketball all day.
Nothing more annoying than my wife trying to have a conversation with me and I'm like "This is me and Tim time now can we talk about this later
"
@NYC Rebel Silver once again discussing why NBA coverage isn’t celebratory
How about he do something about it then as commissioner?
Honestly, he should have done it years ago when the Nichols/Taylor situation overshadowed the NBA Finals.
Barkley and Shaq admitted they don't watch the games
And they both hall of famers

What a fakkit, how about he make some calls and put all this shyt to bed. You think Goodell would allow some ESPN reporter to get into a public back and forth with Mahomes
