The NBA is doomed. And I can prove it. Not ONE player in the Finals or on this list is the "Face of the league" and LeBron is stat padding/podcasting

First things first:

This is easily the worst NBA Finals matchup in our lifetime. This is not hyperbole. I don't have to explain that SGA and Haliburton are not "face of the league" stars.

That this -Thunder Pacers- is the best the NBA has to offer in 2025 says everything about how much the league is in trouble.

But the REAL big problem: of the big stars.. nobody is the face of the league actually. At bare minimum you have to have to drive to win a chip.
The "face' LeBron does not care if he wins a chip. He sold a barbie doll during the Playoffs. He did a podcast during the NBA Finals.

LeBron
is drinking wine and doing podcasts with a white dude and couldn't care less if he wins another chip for my Lakers, he's statpaddng and doing side projects.

Luka
great scorer - needs to get out of his own way with the refs and play better not just say "I need to play better that's on me".

KD:
DONE. Should focus on tweeting back at fans full-time. The asterisk championships/MVPs in the Bay is one thing, but failing on the Nets and Suns is a legacy killer.

Kyrie:
still a great player but with the Luka trade and the clown running things there, the chance of a chip nears 0.

PG-13:
doesn't even deserve a mention. Chose the money and became irrelevant.

Kawhi:
if not injury prone, a real challenger to the throne stats wise. However: 0.0 personality for fans to be drawn to.

Embiid:
DONE. I can't imagine why anyone would ever like him as a person, but he could ball. That's over now.

Dame Time:
Shouldn't be on this list respectfully. There's always a reason for the poor play when it matters, but he's not going to carry the league.

Wembayana: sure he's good, but because of the low quality team he is on he doesn't get the shine (tv time) required to be the face of the league.

Anthony Edwards: let's check back in in 2-3 years. Big bully vs a beat up old Lebron, disappears after talking all that tough shyt... against OKC

The Greek Freak (o.g. Ant on the Bucks but @FlyRy told me nobody calls him Ant, I’m not going to talk to my friends describing a dude as freak anything, ANTetonkounmpo works): will never win it again with the Bucks. He's obviously a superstar but terrible row of seasons kills "face of the legue" talk

how can the NBA be doomed with fans like you? you say it's a shytty product and yet you're still watching. oh and in the similar threads section below there is another thread started by you in may about the face of the league. this is an obsession, you're like nap posting about one particular topic.

i never understand why people want certain franchises in the finals. let the teams that make it through the grind play and watch if you want. so what if they are unfancied and you don't like that 100 people live in the city. what's the alternative? fix the matchups for ratings?

2 posts about 1 topic makes me Nap. Are you new here?

:martin:

Ant punked my Lakers and acted like he was MJ. Turned into a bricklayer a week later. That deserved a thread.

We want exciting players with personality we can root for in the NBA Finals.

We want a great atmosphere when we watch the game.

SGA foul baiting and flopping his way into so many free throws players start backing off.. is not something we can root for.

P.S. read the list before you even comment

Them finals with KD Warriors were the worst finals since I been watching sports...


Did anybody seriously think those Cavs teams back then seriously had a shot of winning those Finals? :mjlol:




At least with the Nets/Spurs finals as a bandwagon Nets fan as a kid I had homer delusion :pachaha:
Most pathetic move by a superstar in the modern NBA era.

“I just blew up a 3/1 lead to the Golden State Warriors.. so I’m joining… the team that beat me.”

Straight loser shyt

But yeah those Finals were terrible af

Cavs coaching and team could not cover the 2 best 3-point shooters in the league and KD coming down the lane…
