The Starters on NBA TV Is Disrespectful

[Da King]

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

Yo Brent my nikka but

 

[Heelmatic]

Yall nikkas complain about everything ESPN doesn't cover basketball enough and NBATV's show is too white

I don't have a problem with the show, these guys actually know what they're talking about

Been following TBJ/The Starters since they popped up on Grantland's podcast network in 2012. Sure they're nerdy, white (as if it's a problem), and corny at times, but they know basketball. Right up my alley, I listen to the podcast everyday. I hate they don't have the drops anymore, but I understand it doesn't translate to TV.

"THIS ONE IS GOLD!"

Y'all nikkas got me furious; in here defending these lames. Talking bout they good analyst and know basketball. They ain't breaking tape down, going over strategies and shyt. They are good at pointing out stupid ass quirky shyt, like Vince Carter shooting an airball right after LeBrick shot one, or Brandon Jennings fouling with 10 seconds left, down by 12

This is the type of shyt they be on. Ain't nobody walking away from this shyt feeling smarter. They don't put nikkas up on any type of game or insights. The guest they have (Brent Barry) are trash. shyt is horrible TV all around. And it's not about them being white. It's about them being white, Canadian, lame, goofy, swagless, nerdy, and looking like they should be writing columns for Pitchfork. One of them nikkas look straight up gay. Playing with his hair and shyt all episode, ol lil girl ass nikka.

[dem bath salts]

I liked the basketball jones, but they dont need to be on tv.

 

[Illuminatos]

Dude said they look like scientists. hahah

 

[beenz]

not really a fan. just a bunch of hipsters on NBATV trying to be cool. not my cup of tea.

I think it's a good show. I watch it pretty much every day as soon as I get home. Great analysis, good jokes, ya, it's not your usual NBA show, but they are on point.

 

[Soundwave]

They used to be "The Basketball Jones" podcast.

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

You judging men's looks breh

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

So I'm the only one who would watch this?
