Cowherd: The NBA needs a villain

[KOBE]

this guy admitted he's a casual by saying he's not watching any regular season games.


but he's right, too many bytches these days bandwagoning the warriors instead of hating them. they're not your team, why are you cheering for them? it's up to the fans to make villains, they're there, but people are wagoning them instead of hating them.


lowkey lakers were always that team to hate and the heat just took over temporarily. nba needs to rig that draft if they want their ratings back.

They just posted their best XMas Day Ratings in years and are coming off a record TV deal and dude is talking about how the ratings are hurting? One, TV ratings aren't what they used to be. Too many mediums to watch sports now that ratings just aren't accurate but more importantly, at the end of the day $$$ talks and if that TV deal says anything it's that the league is very popular and relevant regardless of whether or not there's a "villain."

That being said, Curry is a fukboy league face. I expect LeBron to snatch it back by the post-season especially with the way he/the Cavs have been playing their last few games, and then hopefully someone more deserving is in the picture 3-4 years from now when he declines.

Idk breh They get the most props along with the spurs. Only bron stans(not cavs fans) hate them. The cavs because of Bron seem to be the coli's villains. Looking at all the threads against him he can do no right The rockets because of beard and howard are 2nd. The clips just get laughed at

No one who browses the Coliseum on a daily basis could possibly believe this.

One has cheated "allegedly", the other outspends everyone. Try again

 

[DoubleClutch]

No villains because everybody's concerned out their image and endorsements.

Rondo is the NBA last pure Villain especially after what he did recently.

The elite aka big spenders are typically aeen as villains

Cheaters are labeled villains

 

[mrken12]

Warriors are villains for most of The Coli.

The Coli hates everyone though.

fukk the Slurskins

OK.

But those teams are hated. Most NBA teams that are hated are because of an individual player and not the entire team

Real problem is lack of parity imo. No bullshyt storyline can cover up the fact that everyone realizes by now that barring a major injury only 3, maybe 4 teams have any chance of winning. As such, regular season kinda loses meaning with a lot of casual fans unless some records are being broken.
