The Starters on NBA TV Is Disrespectful

[Double Burger With Cheese]

What the fukk is this shyt b? I can't get jiggy with this shyt at all. You got 5 white boys, from Canada at that, looking lame as hell talking about the NBA. I'm 90% the slightly chubby nikka on some fruity shyt. One of them dudes look old as hell, looking like a scientist and shyt. You mean to tell me, they couldn't get one brother to be on the cast? This is a show about the NBA ya know

nikkas dressing like out of touch hipsters and shyt. fukk is NBA TV producers on Who signed off on this shyt? Who though it was funny to have that geeky looking muthafukka run on a treadmill while he host the show

When they do have a guest, it's always Brent "I let Tony Parker smash my wife"Barry

Every time I watch this shyt, I fall asleep in the middle. I just woke up right now nikka. It's fukked up too, cause I could barely stay awake when watching Sekou Smiths lethargic face ass on The Beat. Can't forget about David Aldridge goofy ass too.

NBA TV need to step this shyt up

One star. The Basketball Jones/ The Starters is great.

Their podcast was HUGE in North America so I see why NBATV jumped on it but I don't think that translates well into TV and especially those in the states that haven't followed them for a min. I enjoy them though

Never seen it but I had the when I saw commercials for it. Honestly though I wonder what the majority demographic of NBA TV is. If it's cacs, the show makes sense. It's a totally safe show that basically caters to the NBA obsessed blog reading cac.

But then you have blacks and hispanics like when they see this shyt because they find this type of show corny as hell.

NBA TV has so much potential but I feel like the shytty broadcasters and the shytty production values bring it down big time.

NBA TV is sort of a reflection of why the NBA is suffering domestically compared to a lot of other sports. There's no risk taking whatsoever. The NBA has gone too far trying to makes its brand super accessible to everyone that it's honestly alienating the real fans who liked the NBA in the first place.

NBA TV is virtually unwatchable sometimes.

Honestly at its best was when Gary Payton and C-Webb were on together. They were fukking hilarious, but I think they were too real () for a lot of NBA Tv's audience

They used to be "The Basketball Jones" podcast.

It was big, and was on Grantland. They got faces for radio/podcast tho.

They aren't over the top personalities that spin narratives to drive ratings. They just discuss basketball based on actual facts and stats.

They watch the games and do actual analysis.

Well, something is disrespectful here....

That would be beautiful....but I highly doubt we ever get to that point.

 

[Tony D'Amato]

Nba tv has horrible programming

 

[Double Burger With Cheese]

Do you guys even watch the show These dudes ain't doing no ground breaking analysis. They being silly and corny for half the show. They are more reporters than analyst, with too heavy a dose of unfunny, dry, comedy. You think I would be complaining if Hubie Brown had his own show

This shyt is like 4 urban black guys, from Switzerland, hosting an hour long show on the Golf Channel

It could have been you if you had jumped on the nba podcast game when nobody else were making em....

 

[Bone$]

Show sux bad, I've tried to watch a few times.. Can't do the corny cacness

 

[jaguar paw]

Do you guys even watch the show

You just said you fell asleep while watching it so I'll have ask that same question.

I was actually going to make this exact thread at the beginning of the season I shared the exact expression as you.

They do a good enough job discussing the game and use facts to back up their opinions. That's more than what I could say for 95 percent of ESPN analysts.
