"Superstars shouldnt get called ticky tacky fouls" - Bill Simmons :what:

[FTBS]

Do you know what "ticky tack" means? Nobody should get called for those. People claim they have such an issue with superstar's getting love but superstar's are all anyone cares about. I never see threads about what kind of defense Indy is playing or the offensive sets MIA is running . It's all about what Lebron is or isn't doing. nikkas have no problem with stars they have a problem with stars they don't like. Everything revolves around the stars and nobody would have cared about last nights game or any of these games if it wasn't for the superstars involved. Basketball is an individual star driven game.

Lmao he is the most "nba is rigged" motherfukker ever...what hypocracy

Him and JVG believe that shyt with all their heart and soul.

I agree with Simmons.

The NBA all about superstars.

Who wanna watch the game when the superstars not playing or on tha bench wit 5 fouls?

Give Scola 5 fouls cuz nobody wanna see Scola, they wanna see Lebron.

[Rekkapryde]

how does the NBA allow Bill Simmons to be on ESPN like that? we all know the leagues run the networks

Goodell would have had his pink ass thrown in the bushes by now.

No one should foul out

thats an entirely different argument.

 

[aceboon]

What does that have to do with anything? They're there to give their opinions, not protect the shield. The NBA can't regulate on Simmons, shyt ESPN can barely regulate on Simmons without compromising their desire to remain affiliated with Grantland. Now it's a lot more difficult to go in on the NBA on NBATV, but not on channels where they're not being paid to blow the brand.

Stern/NBA blocked ESPN from hiring SVG last season after they had already agreed for him to be a studio analyst.

Not really. The tick tack fouls wouldn't matter much if players can't be disqualified.

but since they are there.. and not in some made up coli rules that we want, then every player should be treated equal

Theres people in here agreeing with him I know they never played sports a day in they life

 

[goatnole]

Can't remember a game where Jordan had ticky tack fouls called on him. Do Kobe get hit with those kind of calls too?

 

[itsyoung!!]

Bill Simmons still got Lebron and the Heat dikk in his mouth

 

[Trece]

Not sure why Bill Simmons continues to put that cracker mouth on Brons pipe. Dude made a career out of bashing Kobe but he fawns over Lebron.
