It is an answer. but its an answer you don't want to hear.
Lebron stated that all the talking heads talk shyt about everyone
which clearly is horseshyt.
do you consider all hyperbole to be propaganda?

the hate was relegated to the papers & magazine columns in the past

the positive propaganda was way more dominant

all types of big brand marketing

the audience was seeing the positive messaging repeated more than anything else

There were plenty of stories that could’ve came out about Iverson, and Stephen A (who was at Philadelphia Inquirer at the time) never spoke about it. Nowadays, you could make the argument that some media people have no integrity or relationship with the players so they have no problem speaking about those things.
Which is why it's comedy to act like Jordan experienced even half of the criticism/microscope that the top players today face. Lebron or Anthony Edwards for that matter could never prevent the media from running a major story about them.

Bron’s right. All they do is shyt on you and show fake love and criticize the game.

Why would Ant want to deal with that?

The issue is Ant thinks he has a choice and he doesn’t. The Sprite, Adidas, Foot locker campaigns all come with it…the kids love him. He’s the guy as of now. They tried with Tatum and Giannis..Ja threw it away.

We gotta be real though. A lot of the “negative” stories you see about some of the top stars is because the players themselves make it a story. Ja Morant posted the video waving the gun. Anthony Edwards and Zion Williamson’s baby mothers posted on social media about them. Social media makes it easier for stories to get out, especially when the players are “incriminating” themselves.

I called that shyt the minute they started that Ant/Jordan comparisons
As soon I saw the media go on that run full of Jordan and Kobe comparisons I knew this was going to be the outcome. Jordan and Kobe have been so immortalized that Ant has to score 30+ every game or hit every game winning shot or else he’s a failure. Basketball media is horrible. And don’t let him lose a series, all that personality they love so much will be used against him.


I saw the play happening too. "Negativity sells" is the truest thing on the planet. Think about the things SAS is known most for and it's negativity and outlandish shyt: Kwame Brown, Jamarcus Russell, players smoking weed, etc. Nothing about this nikka's analysis or journalism, just for low brow takes that anybody with a Twitter account can make.

These shows get the most attention and ratings when they're shytting on people. It's crazy how they'll criticize current players for only caring about money/clout and not enough about the game when they themselves are perfectly fine with damaging the perception of the league so long as they get the money and ratings from tearing folks down.
