Charles Barkley Ethers JJ Reddikk

[In The Zone '98]

Very confusing to me how people aren't understanding how the media they consume influences the beliefs they adopt. As if we haven't seen tens of millions of people be brainwashed by Fox News into believing the most ridiculous and outlandish narratives on the planet. I don't know if they just lack critical thinking skills or are just being obtuse. You see a lot of both on this site unfortunately....


Inside the NBA is a cancer and has been for a long time.

Louder for those in the back

Inside provides a very basic, 8th grade level view on NBA basketball

Multiple things can be true

It’s definitely not fair to put all the blame for the negative discourse around the NBA on the Inside crew. However, do they play a big role? Absolutely. It’d be completely asinine to suggest that the NBA’s biggest media platform doesn’t have any influence on public opinion. You don’t get to have it both ways, you don’t get to only take credit for the good and completely absolve yourself of the bad

I've seen it, maybe not to the extent of chuck and them but they have been critical of the league for not adjusting enough to attract the new generation.

That isnt the same as saying the NBA is a bad product or to not watch.

And those guys HANDS DOWN WATCH BASEBALL and give insights and breakdowns.

Yall need to stop trying to make this all one and the same

So why did ESPN pick up the license for the program?

So why did ESPN pick up the license for the program?

Because its a top rated show that brings in ad money.

At the same time, why is it ok to tell people not to watch playoff games on their show?

Its not ok to say that. Now are we paying them for their honesty or to pander to the league. ....

Part of the popularity of Inside The NBA is that they keep it real about the game and aren't feeding the same propoganda of all these other sports leagues. Some people want to be forcefed opinions on how what they are watching is the greatest thing ever. Others like shows where they just tell it how they see it.

It's like everything else. The complainers usually have the loudest voices while also positive comments are ignored. It's like how a woman can post a picture with hundreds of people commenting on it that aren't responded to, but then they'll pick out the negative comment and respond to it bringing even more negative attention to it.

With Inside the NBA there are plenty of times they say positive stuff about players or teams and it'll go ignored. As soon as they have a negative segment it goes viral and people make it out to be the entire show.

The product is bad and someone has to say it. Inside the nba is the one of the best parts of the league right now. Boston is unwatchable.

Every time Tatum shoots you can see him yelling "KOBE!"

Whoever said that on here deserves eternal props

 

[Tribal Outkast]

People are bringing up inside the nba and that’s fine. Fans be killing the product way worse though. Go to any general basketball post on damn near any platform on social media. I guarantee most posts are negative. JJ brought up parity and that’s a good thing but nba fans will be like congratulations on that one ring, now when will you get the next? If you’re going to single out inside then you need to figure out what else is wrong too.

 

[Bolzmark]

We don't need Inside the NBA to tell us the games have become 3 point shooting contests. Blaming them for pointing out a fact is weak. Overall, the NBA is more talented than it was 20 years ago as it should be. As all sports league are and should be. But unfortunately the biggest part of this improved talent is 3 point shooting. Everybody including 7'5" centers are shooting them. For some people that may be entertaining. But one thing I know for sure, when the NBA skyrocketed in popularity, the game wasn't like this. It has regressed in terms of exciting play. I still love the game but I would be lying if I said it is as entertaining as it was in the 90's.

I’m not even the too many 3s guy but they are the definition of it. Tatum is 6’10 and shoots like 20 every time I see him. The do it ALL game and nothing else. It’s like an algorithm bot

Dudes saying the nba fans are negative, man all fans are negative. Maybe the product is just not that good right now? White boy does a euro on 3 lakers and points at them..TECH. The shyt is just dumb.

 

[Apprentice]

It’s more important for people to laugh than to see how they are eroding a product They are supposed to celebrate.

This is a clear cut example of why the NBA loses and how condition their toxic fans are. Look at how many and you are embracing this crap.

Why are we supposed to celebrate it if we don’t like it, y’all make it sound like it’s our job to like the league, it’s the other way around
