Watching Windhorst regularly on NBA The Jump has made me a fan of his. He's cool.

I fukks with fat elephant cac now...:chattyguurrrlll:...for no other reason than when he said if it came down to Durant and Paul George for his all nba team even though Durant is better he was going to go with Paul cause he didn't want to cost that man 70 million...then he was like "i sure don't want to be eligible for some sort of bonus at ESPN and not get it cause some people who cover ESPN say i shouldn't get it"

Some were willing to take 50 percent pay cuts
I wonder if it was because of the exposure or were they living that lavish lifestyle with espn. 50% though? Begs the question how much some of these guys were making

Bet and MTV would get better ratings if they showed music vids still instead Wayans Bros eps

Exactly

So why would they watch videos when they have laptops and Tablets with YouTube at their fingertips?

But all that internet shyt that MTV shows, you could just watch on the internet as well.

I mean, there's nothing on Rob Dyrdek's show that you can't watch on YouTube

The days of music videos on all day are gone. Internet killed it. Plus, there's BET Jams, nobody watches that channel all that much.

I disagree.

"Music video programming" wasn't just playing music videos

It was interviews with artists, music news, fashion, etc. . .

Just think about all the great moments on Yo MTV RAps!

Fab Five Freddie on the back of a pick up truck with NWA in Compton and them showing him around. That was the first time I ever saw anything about the West Coast on TV as a shorty.

Think about the time that Ghostface was gonna fukk Joe Clair up on Rap City

Or when 2pac talked about beating the Hughes Bros. asses on TV.

That's the type of shyt you get when you have "music video programming".

Plus, you get world premiers. There's a difference between watching something on YouTube and simultaneously watching the world premier of the new Beyonce/Taylor Swift/Kendrick Lamar video with the artist and the rest of the world.

You got live performances as well.

I've been saying that part of what's wrong with the music industry is that MTV/BET/VH1 stopped doing all that stuff.

On the internet, you're only going to look up artists that you've heard of. MTV/BET/VH1 exposed you to people you never heard of and didn't know you wanted to hear of. You got to care about an artist like you just met them or something.

Yeah besides riding Lebron coat tails like everyone in Cleveland the dude stuck it out and been a lifelong cavs fan
That believeland doc made me give him respect I gotta check out his book too

He still a fat elephant cac but he had heart for arguing Joel embidd as rookie of the year and giving Paul George an all NBA spot
