NBA is such a drama filled league man 
That must've been humiliating for SAS... Getting barked on by the biggest star in the world right next to Jimmy Iovine, Larry David and probably most powerful guy in Hollywood Ari Manuel

SAS questioned LeBron as a father.... thats the line crosser...
let someone call me a bad father and i'd probably agree with them, but still
Sorry, I think this is corny.
You're son is an NBA player, not a child.
But, Bron did son the shyt outta him.
Can someone explain to me the "Media is making fans hate the NBA" takes from fans?
ESPN's ratings have been diving for years, not becauase they're mean to NBA players.
Diving ratings get different explanation when you blame stuff like three point shooting. But, Kendrick Perkins and SAS?
in my post i said that im not buying the media scapegoat myself
but still, the nba needs to redefine it's relationship to the public... this cast and its approach has outlived it's usefulness. the shyt aint workin... but this is one component of several
i dont see the way out of this though lol. an explosion of midrange jumpers and reduction of 3s aint gonna produce a windfall of viewership... neither is a new media philosophy...
this could end up being a long term slow burn down... the nba doesn't have the cultural gravity it had with the youth today that it had in the 80s-2000s. Kids aint even wearing jordans cause they care about jordan himself... its a jus a damn shoe to them.
they may have to collaborate with international leagues sometime in the future...
NBA is becoming a growing bubble that will pop.
NBA trying to bring in casuals more year after year. And yes, it's gonna hurt the league.
Especially with the way NFL and even Soccer is growing in America.
It should be fair criticism.
If you are gonna talk about how “bad” the 55th pick is, you should also be talking about how bad the 56th pick is.
If you claim you are only talking about house he’s brons son, then in a sports achievement context he should be compared to the 56th pick.
People like SAS wanna analyze and criticize him like he was a lottery pick or some shyt

just seeing this.. Ok, so Stephen gonna back off? every player somebody's son
Bronny is a pro so his play is fair game. However you can't criticize fatherhood and beg the father what you think they should do or tell them how to handle something. That's out of line. everyone keeps making it about bronnys play & forgetting those SAS segments when he started off with "Bron I'm begging you as a father"...
WHEN YOURE THE BIGGEST BASKETBALL PLAYER
IN THE WORLD ITS ABSOLUTELY INSANE
TO PUT THAT TYPE OF PRESSURE
ON YOUR SON WHETHER YOU
THINK HES NICE OR NOT.
ADD TO THE FACT HE OPENLY
shytTED ON ACTIVE NBA PLAYERS.
NO OTHER NBA FATHERS HAVE
DONE THIS TYPE OF shyt
BUT SINCE ITS BRON nikkaS CAPE.
DUNKING IN THE AAU LAYUP LINE
CAPE
RUNNING ONTO THE COURT OF A HS GAME
CAPE
FORCE HIM INTO THE LEAGUE
CAPE
BRON HAS HANDLED BRONNYS BASKETBALL
CAREER WRONGLY FROM THE START
AND NONE OF HIS YES MEN EVER
TOLD HIM TO CHILL.
Who’s caping?
I’ve spoken plenty of times about Bronny benefitting from nepotism and how he should’ve never left college this early. I said in this very thread that Bron should’ve never been tweeting about him being better than current NBA players
I can acknowledge those things, but also understand that if anyone is gonna be irrational and defensive about how good a player is…it’s gonna be their parents. Those things can all be true
I’m neither a Bron stan or hater, that shyt is for y’all
you nikkas are crazy
