Cousins would easily be a villain a la Rasheed Wallace, if he were on a winning team. So yea, goes back to needing more must-watch teams.
And I consider myself the prime casual, only been watching more regular season play the past few years since I get to see the warriors rape the league. If they go back to irrelevancy, it's opening night, Christmas, April-playoffs for me again.

Just wait till we bring in Thibs next year
Really what he's saying is media needs someone to hate to make headlines. When Lebron was with the Heat it was heaven for reporters.
Warriors and Spurs just aren't teams you hate. The Cavs aren't either
.
Basketball is still good tho. And Cowherd stays trolling
.
He's probably still mad that the SEC dominated the postseason this year in CFB.

I just wish KD would grow a pair and accept the mantle of The Slim Reaper
. Russ already has the fire that pisses people off. It could be OKC but KD is too passive

Not that there isnt talent but the types of players he needs to run his system simply arent there

Everyone's too buddy buddy. I'm trying to see someone pull a Richard Sherman v Michael Crabtree in a postgame interview. That would be live.
Say Bron beats OKC again. Hits a gw over KD. On court postgame interview:
Bron: idk why they put that dude on me. You know he can't guard me. Look at the records when we go head to head. It's easy. You know he can't guard me
I'd be sitting at the tv like

The coli would be jumping. All sports tv and radio would be talking about it. It would be great entertainment. But you know that would never happen these days in the NBA. Everyone is a homie now

Exactly wasn't no damn villain. But in saying that the NBA has always been a super team or teams league when it came to carrying the league.
The Lakers and Celtics (with magic and Bird) brought the NBA out of the dark ages of the 70s when we had finals on tape delay.
Then in the 90s the bulls carried the league. After the Bulls it was Kobe and shaq Lakers who carried the league.
The ratings of the league came back when the Lakers got good again with Kobe and Gasol Lakers and with the Celtics coming with Garnett, Pierce and Allen. Then the ratings jumped even higher with the assembly of the heat team.
The NBA has never been like the NFL where a match up of two average teams can have ratings through the roof. Washington vs Kansas City chiefs in the Superbowl will get 100 million viewers.
Man if the Orlando magic played the Utah Jazz in the finals the ratings would be horrible. Lucky to get 3 million viewers per game.
Finally folks need to ignore an idiot like Cownerd. The NBA the last 6 or 7 years has had finals ratings that rivals the shyt they had when MJ and the bulls were playing on NBC in the 90s. Thanks to the Celtics, Kobe and the Lakers and Lebron James (Heat and Cavs). The media like Cownerd wants villains in the NBA cause that helps him talk about bull shyt for 3 hours a day. Cause a black villians is always easier to sell than a black hero especially in a sport where most of the stars and players are overwhelmingly black.

Didnt watch the vid nor read any posts after the OP, but he's absolutely rite. Sports in general is more fun when you're EMOTIONALLY INVESTED in it. Whether its hating Or loving certain players/teams, its just more fun that way.
I barely watch the NBA anymore simply because i no longer care about the players. All of the players i grew up "caring" about are nearly all retired. The only team i have an emotional attachment to now are the Spurs.

Exactly breh wasn't no villains. If that was the case the Knicks (who folks looked at as villains) would have gotten below ratings when MJ retired the first time. The ratings actually went down when MJ retired the first time. During that brief time MJ was gone the most popular team was the magic with Shaq and Penny.

League didn't realize how valuable that team was to the league since they spent 4 years teaching people to hate them while trying to help the cavaliers get better so a certain star could go back and contend there. Maybe they should have thought long term beyond just a few short seasons
Breh I said the same thing. See the media talked that shyt about Lebron going back to Cleveland but they made more money pimping Lebron as a villian. You had white boys on sports talk radio saying ignorant shyt about how rooting for the heat was like rooting for evil or madam hussein. Now lie man.
I told my wife that once the team broke up these hoes in the media would be mad cause they can't sell hate speech on the radio or internet clicks using a black man as a hero.
Breh as you get older you have less invested because you grow up and got other more important shyt to deal with like wife, kids, a job, bills and ect. So you lose track of all the players and have less and less time to follow the sport. Then the players you did follow get older and retire.
It happens to everyone man.

No one cares about parity
When the Lakers were threepeating there wasnt anybody yapping about parity
When the bulls won 6 chips no one gave a fukk about parity then
For all the talk about the juggernaut that is the Western conference only 3 teams stand a chance out there.......by the way the East has definitely been the more entertaining conference with the better basketball this season
The only people who care about parity are those whose teams are on the outside looking in at successful organizations.
IF the Lakers suddenly got good again and won 5 chips in a row all these people talking about parity would SHUT THE fukk UP and be on forums flashing U MAD emojis
It's always funny when folks bring up the Knicks like they weren't involved in 2 of the lowest rated Finals in the 90s.
Thanks breh typical bull shyt from the ultimate bull shytter in Cownerd. These the same jokers who wanted to focus on Cam dabbing shyt than to acknowledge the historical season he was on.
fukk Colin hoe ass.
