How could someone stomach watching this game in its entirety?

[Buckeye Fever]

Yahtzee! Dweebs have control of the media period. Call me but I still feel a way hearing white dudes in media who never played, criticize majority Black sports like Basketball and Football. Something just never seemed right to me listening to these non-players/coaches who didn’t grow up around Blacks having the audacity to critique how they walk, talk, and play. These are the dweebs that you speak of.

The same dweebs that destroyed OUR sneaker culture, the same dweebs who took over with “training” our basketball kids and capitalizing off of them. I hate seeing white dudes being so called,”gurus”, of young player development. They copied off us!

These are same dweebs that hire the Stephen A. Smiths of the world and pay them to parrot the BS so that it’ll be, “better”, coming from a Black man. And then thrown his ass to make the players into the villians when they choose to speak up for themselves. Then that niqqa SA get 2 niqqas. Them 2 niqqas get 4 niqqas. Them 4 niqqas get 5 more niqqas, them 5 niqqas get more niqqas…and here we are today’s messed up basketball media. Dweebs.

The so called, “New media”, coined by Draymond, will go overboard to clean up the false narratives created by dweeb media, and make themselves look stupid just like them. There’s no balance. Example, Bron says media coverage is too negative, but forgets when everyone was heads over heels with him and Bronny playin together in the beginning of the season. That’s all we saw on TV, he was cool with that. But when he proclaimed that his son was better than most players presently in the NBA even before he set foot on the floor, he didn’t realize how he disrespected HIS fellow player frat. Media dweebs suck, but players give them fuel and don’t like when they’re called out on it. Balance.

Aw man, this post is spot on.

Another sad thing is we got so called "brothaz" parroting the nerds' talking points.

If them nerds suggested implementing robots because their shooting accuracy would increase, goofies would be all for it

I think it's moreso the point that cats shytting on the game today acting like it was sweet during Mikes 90s championship run. That era and the current had/has it's opportunities to improve. I do believe the league will make adjustments as well.


It's also starting in football if you paying attention.

You have the Goat QB TB Talkin about the league being soft when he's directly responsible for the kids gloves with QBs. Would he have been able to play as long as he did under the old rules?

#RespectEras

How is Brady directly responsible for todays rules?

 

[aceboon]

Hilarious how many times the OP has re-rocked the same "the NBA was trash in the era MJ dominated" thread. I think we get it by now

 

[Rekkapryde]

How is Brady directly responsible for todays rules?

On QBs.

I would make the argument misplaced nostalgia has hurt the NBA more than anything.

Okay, I'll bite;

How would you qualify this?

People say this all the time, but, the NBA was fine just ten years ago.

The only thing people complained about often was KD and Lebron's Free Agent moves.

2016 NBA got praise.

Those Spurs-Heat Finals were epic.

The year Kawhi went to TOR.

Hell, ppl shyt on KD, but, the Warriors got their respect.

People are bothered by the three point heavy offensive play, the price/pain to watch the game, the weird changes and load management.

Which of these equal; Bring the 90's/Hand-checking back?

What barbershops are ya'll trapped in where ppl have these opinions.

This "Shutup and watch" shyt is corny when it legit cost thousands to do it.

Inside The NBA been primarily them jonesy for a over a decade plus.

Shaqtin' A Fool was at it's peak pre-COVID-19.

Been in a couple hilariously

 

[Ku$h Parker]

When it's 2 teams that know each other well like knicks pacers 94 or lakers celtics low scoring/low fg % is bound to happen.

Dont forget being Mirror Images of each other,same wit The Heat once Riles came down

 

[Osmosis]

Jordan's era

 

[Easy-E]

Been in a couple hilariously

Prolly where the "Joker only get MVP's cause he white," but, I don't talk ball with those Uncs

Fact is, the NBA product has been going down since COVID and it's to the point ppl say; The reason people don't like the current NBA is Kendrick Perkins

I stopped watching ESPN years ago.

When Starks was so off in game 7 against Houston, Riley never put Blackman in the game.

It might have been because Riley was pissed at Rolando for publicly challenging Riley’s “no wives allowed on the trip” rule.

‘His Shot Looked Like a Medicine Ball’

The Knicks’ title drought could be substantially shorter if not for John Starks’s horrid Game 7—and Pat Riley’s curious decision to stick with him.

I wish a mf would tell me what color vehicle I can buy

This thread is dumb and actually highlights the problems With todays game

just because you think players of today are more skilled doesnt make current games more interestin. The same with movies. special effects are much better today, doesn’t mean the movies are

the draw for sports is about the competition not high level shot making

 

[premier58]

On QBs.

It was initiated by CarsonPalmer in 2006, reemphasized for Brady in 2009. Wasnt started for, or by Brady. The bodyweight rule was a result of Aaron Rodgers having his collarbone broke vs Minnesota in 2017. Once again, nothing to do with Brady. The fake sliding that Allen and Mahomes do and bait calls with? Nothing to do with Brady. Faking like you are going out of bounds and cutting it back because the defense is apprehensive to hit you near the sideline, has nothing to do with Brady.

The Finals that year was like a fight to the death .


If only the Bullets didn't match the offer Harvey Grant had from the Knicks

 

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

yall extrapolated a whole lot from a few games....

its like anything else....in that place and time it was what it was.....

in 20 years some 20 year old is gonna be saying the same thing when yall talking about luka or giannis or jokic...

yeah we get it...the 90s is trash to yall....what else are you supposed to think if you were born post 2000?

 

[Jplaya2023]

The rose colored glasses cats my age and older have for this shyt is comical.

Was smiling so hard when Big O Oscar Robertson said he loves today's game and stars. Hatin' nostalgic cats were so mad. They couldn't understand

Well one of the stars today dont like big O
