And the reason the play-in is a success is because your playing for a spot in the playoffs. This NBA cup nonsense has no effects on a team's playoff seeding or anything.
how are you going to try and copy soccer cup tournaments in a closed league where everyone plays each other anyway. soccer teams aren't necessarily playing the same teams (you can end up playing teams from your league, but the majority of the teams starting out aren't from your league). open it to every professional basketball team and then you might have something like the FA Cup. then later a basketball champions league would need participants from other top basketball leagues.
I see that your problem is comprehension…I said the RESULTS (read) winning the in-season tournament has nothing to do with winning in the postseason.
This is as stupid as saying because a team goes on 5 game win streak in January that means there’s some major implication on their title prospects
It’s a handful of regular season games at the start of the season ..the two entities are separate accomplishments. A team can not make it out of group play and still obviously win a title it’s completely moronic to connect the two things to begin with.
Summer League is definitely trash.
I know some of these players are months removed from playing in college, but these games are almost as tough to watch as most college games.
And you are 100% right about the in-season tournament in regards to fans. As far as I'm concerned, these are just regular season games with some irrelevant trophy. You're an in-season champion. Let's have a parade
I like how basketball does this overseas. In euroleague, a team from Turkey will play a team from France, etc. Teams that are from different leagues.
This NBA shyt is goofy

Thanks to the lawyers uh, I marbled the foyer
More sucka shyt
Ring culture is toxic so lets introduce some more participation trophies

Yeah because they were going to do that in one year instead of starting here.
This doesn't make any sense
It can be so simple. Eliminate the preseason schedule no one cares about, hold a double elimination tournament played on a handful of potential expansion team courts. Championship/later round games get played in the official NBA arenas. Everyone wants to see the new teams going into the new season, this provides the opportunity. 2 losses and it's back to training camp til the regular season.
This is basically just a random collection of games, and with it only being 4 games total tie breakers will decide mostly all the knockout round matchups. 500k is nothing to an NBA player (actually 250k after taxes), and the Vegas crowd will be full of casuals with no team allegiance
Your team gets eliminated, nothing changes to your schedule. On to the next game. Stupid money grab at it's best

I don’t care for incompetence, maybe you doWhy you getting so upset at him for asking questions

Where was the info available at
This is the 1st time they give the actual details of how it will work
The essentials of the tournament (group play element, the regular season games element etc etc) were literally reported on by several people that cover the NBA when it was initially announced..again if nikkas actually cared about basketball you would know that ..the fact that you nikkas are proudly exposing the ignorance because you were too busy crying about “ewwww dis different” over the last several months instead of educating yourself is exactly what the fukk i’m talking aboutWhere was the info available at

You spit a very agreeable point here. I think the nba should look into helping other basketball leagues imo, cause I still think it’s very sad for players trying to go pro to have to leave the country if they don’t make the Leauge or play at some virtually underground Leauge basically part time like the tbl or aba, it shows how backwards and child obsessed hoop culture is where your best non-nba shot is being a top OTE prospect, it’s shameful really and makes me understand why so many international players are catching up in the leauge

Like Henry Ford once said, if you ask people what they wanted to improve transportation they would say faster horses. This tournament has nothing to do with players instead it’s a long term business/content play by the NBA. This in-season tournament gives consumers more outcomes to wager on and more content to drive which helps long term interest in the game. If you study business then you already know there’s risk involved so it might or might not work.
