Yall are dumb calling cism. Its about expanding money and this shyt doesn't look professional when you have grown men acting like a middle school basketball team. Add that to the fact that all that shyt they do is corny, and a ploy for more attention, I think its a good look. :manny:

Especially D wade who thinks hes the rock running around the 4 corners of the ring climbing the rungs and asking the crowd if they can smell it :comeon:

whats wrong with a little showmanship :why:

who gaf about professionalism when the fans eat all that kinda shyt up?

It has jack shyt to do with "professionalism".

I can't think of a single team sport where the teams don't have some sort of pre-game ritual to get themselves hyped up.

NBA players can't win for shyt with the public...

If they form friendships with their opponents they get criticized as being too soft and not taking the sport seriously, but if nikkas was beefing on the court they'll be called thugs.

When players were dressing casual people were crying about them being unprofessional and looking like thugs, now all people do is clown them for dressing like nerds and homos.

anthem and pregame intros don't even take place 'til the "start time" and the viewing audience doesn't even see those but it's still delaying the start of games. That shyt takes more time than the 2 mins it takes dudes to dap up each other and acknowledge fans/pregame ritual.

Heat should collect their rings with a step routine

I'm sure LeBron's been rehearsing all summer while Dwight's sending spies.

Stern just likes to ruffle the feathers and let it be known that HE still runs things from time to time.

"...b-b-but Stern is the DON, though!"

I mean, ain't that what nikkas on here always say? That Goodell ain't shyt for what he does to the players in "his" league, yet Stern is The Man for what HE does in "HIS"? :comeon:

You wanna talk about c00nING? That's the nikkas who support David Stern.

fukk David Stern and his momma, and anybody else who's down with them both.

I don't even understand why this 90-sec rule was put into place. They still got a minute to do shyt..... it don't make any sense.
