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.

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

It doesn't look "professional" for them to wear shorts while "working", either. Why don't they just play in basketball suits?

people hate young black rich men

Kind of unrelated, but I always found it funny how big a deal was made about fights or things like that on the floor when in baseball you see dugout clearing shoving matches and fights with virtually no controversy.

Yeah of course you had the Malice in the Palace thing, but the reality is Stern is trying to remove the urban/hip-hop element from the NBA as much as he can.

Yall ever notice as hip-hop as basketball is they NEVER have hip-hop songs in promos or shyt like that. It's always some corny ass rock song or something totally unrelated. Just more marketing bullshyt to polish the NBA image up as much as they can.

they had Shook Ones in the promo for the Spurs last postseason. Derrick Rose has a hip hop orientated beat in nearly every commercial he has done. The arenas play a good deal of rap songs during the games.

I'm talking NBA promotion blood. Arenas ain't got shyt to do with that. Adidas is totally different too b.

Official NBA shyt wants nothing to do with hip-hop.
