Doesn’t have anything to do with stopping players take games off ..this is about selling an i season tv event for the networks who are bidding in the nba TV rights

They're doing too much imo. The only tournament the fans care about is the playoffs at the end. fukk all this other shyt.

I think it's all gonna depend on how seriously the players take it. If star players sell out to win this, it'll be a home run for the NBA.

And especially if nothing of importance is on the line, let the number 2 or 3 pick be given to the winner, then I'll bet everybody will be all in for the tournament, especially if a team can double up on top 5 picks.

playing hard to draft your replacement? i don't think so

True but you know the higher ups will "incentivize" their players to do so.

I’ve decided to have an open mind about it. Like @Rigby. said the play in has gone from universally maligned to some of the most exciting and legacy shifting basketball we’ve seen since the Stern era.


This could be a good thing depending on how they execute it. They have to put some ACTUAL stakes on the line and of course get the top guys in the league to endorse it but if it adds to the global impact and popularity of the league that can only be a positive

Yep, I think the nikkas playing just for some national TV time (every bad team and the youngins) are gonna be there, but it’s going to be a failure if the real contenders choose to just rest up

NBA really doing promo runs just to announce and explain how their tournament is gonna work.

 

[MJ Truth]

The last 5 league MVPs haven't been American

You mean an American hasn’t won an MVP in the last five seasons.

Two of the last five MVPs have been Americans.

The main event

 

[Adebisi_Said]

Let me take a wild guess: Malika Andrews will host this spectacular event.

I really went out on a limb with this one.
