Gilbert Arenas and JJ Reddikk debate the NBAs future after Lebron and Curry retire

[2legit]

Why are we having this discussion in the middle of the playoffs? Adam Silver needs to put his foot down and let ESPN know they need to focus on covering the current NBA which means talking about the Nuggets, Celtics, Heat, or Lakers. No offseason shyt and especially no hypotheticals 5 years down the road.

The NFL media is sure as hell not talking about the state of NFL QB's after Brady and Rodgers during the week of the Chiefs/Eagles Superbowl

 

[Big Boss]

crazy thing is who is going to be the American born star to step up when they retire?

Being a player face driven league will come at a cost.

No other sport talks about “Denver” in the manner its being spoken about in this video. The investment is in the teams

No

Ja or Zion would have to get their act together. Otherwise, it’s probably some kid we haven’t heard of yet.

Longshot: one of Bron’s kids.

Ja actually is already a polarizing player (for wrong reasons), but the interest is there he just needs stop the dumb shyt and keep his mind on playing basketball .

Fans don’t like parity. If we are keeping it a buck. They want dominance. People what to feel like they are witnessing something special. That being said, if Denver goes on a run (back to back, three peat or 3 outta 4) league will be ok. But if the current pattern of holds and it’s someone new every year, the league might be in a predicament. Social media weirdly has made it impossible for another Bron or Kob or Jordan or Shaq. Too many distractions. Too much competition for eyes. Plus everyone is averaging 30 now. It’s gonna take legit team dominance imo

I don’t think that is true, one of the big appeals of the nfl is the parity of the league. The truth is the nba needs to do a better job promoting teams instead of players because it will build up the markets that will help sustain the league when the three big markets in la, Boston, New York, Chicago, and Philly are bad. I mean we talk about golden state now but they weren’t always must see tv majority of my life no one was watching the warriors like that because they were terrible

Exactly, this is why the nfl grows the way it does, the nfl markets every team regardless of market. When the playoffs for the nfl started every team had segments on nfl network breaking down the teams and talking about the players and coaches. The nfl doesn’t care about the market your in they care about the product you put on the field

Thanks

Tatum and Booker are next up. Both have made first team all nba. Tatum plays for a marquee franchise, and Book is connected to the Kardashian universe. Highly visible guys who can ascend higher if they win rings.

Boy really typed Kardashians

Fans want dominance and stacked teams so they don't have to pay attention until the playoffs.

Regular season is for diehards and season ticket holders.

You literally could have been describing Blake griffin 10 years ago but nobody was saying that nikka was the face of the league

You don’t just become the talk of the town because somebody retires…you Debo conversation from the jump

Undisputed, First Take and all them other shows aren’t staking their viewership on no Booker & Tatum lol If it was lit like that you would know by now

 

[KFBF]

The league will be fine. There's always someone to fill the vacuum.

Thread is about superstar player drawing interest and carrying the league, yet you're laughing at me pointing out that Booker is associated with the most popular celeb family in the world.

This sub-forum is bizarro world.

Griffin never made 1st team NBA, played for a cornerstone NBA franchise, or made it to the Finals.

Just because that gets your p*ssy wet doesn’t change anything I said. If Booker, Tatum or any of them guys was lit like that you would know and it damn sure wouldn’t hinge on waiting for other nikkax to retire

If ESPN/FS1 could have a Bron channel they would do it. Denver wins and there are like five Bron topics on these shows. It’s a built in engine

Devin Booker nor Jayson Tatum will ever move the needle like that. If that was the case that shyt would be happening NOW

Just because you’re a great ball player doesn’t mean you make the earth spin

The new CBA changes are going to prevent that from happening.
