Jaylen Brown isn’t a “star”, he’s just paid like one. Besides Celtics fans, nobody knows or gives a fukk about him like they do the other stars of the league. That’s the main problem with the NBA at the moment. So many unworthy players are getting $200 & $300 Million dollar contracts, and people reactions are to either shake their head in amazement or complain that nobodys like Brown are getting that kind of bread.
Good for them for getting that money, but with that money comes animosity from fans, harsher criticism and low tolerance for player complaints (like this ridiculous dialogue over the 65 game for player awards). No one cares about or wants to hear players complaints, especially when they make enough money to truly not care about that stuff.
NBA is a bytch made league. Look at them complain at the league having the audacity to institute quality control for choosing MVP selections. A sport full of bytches. A big reason I don't really watch NBA anymore is that it's full of limp wristed fakkits. Soft sport for divas and fakkits and people that like them - always comparing players in a so-called team sport. I abhor what the GOAT discussions has done to the game of basketball. Have literal DBZ fan comparing players as if they have power levels while no one has respect for the history or the game, While other sports have dikk measuring contests and comparing stats and talking about whose the best, it seems that's the ONLY thing basketball fans ever seem to talk about. Just people stanning their favorite player whose dikk they wanna suck (pause). In football everyone agrees Brady is the GOAT QB. There is no debate. But everyone respects Manning brothers, Montana, Elway, Romo, Staubach, Moon. Mahomes is inching towards Brady's crown and people don't have a problem with Mahomes being named top 3 QB. While there's a "debate", ultimately you can tell people love and respect the game of football and its history. You don't see football fans saying legends played against janitors the way NBA fans do here on the Coli. It feels as if basketball fans love stars and not the game of basketball. This attitude extends to the current crop of players and the way they treat the sport.
Women's college hoops is better and NBA players should be ashamed. The entirety of the NBA is embarrassing: from the players, to the discussion made by fans, to the league rules, referee scandal. I watched every Rockets game we could possibly watch as a kid with my father, went to basketball camps in the summer, and it saddens me what the game of my youth has become.
Thank God football, baseball, and hockey exist.
