What is it with NBA media is it because it’s a star driven league? Is it for the clicks? Why do old players and analysts talk down on the new players? What’s going on?![mindblown :mindblown: :mindblown:](https://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/mindblown.png)

This right here, it frustrates me when guys get on tv and tear another player down just to make whoever they root for look better.everything revolves around ring talk. all significant acoomplishments are downplayed if you havent won a chip
we spend too much time being happy when a star player doesnt do well
everything is narrative-driven (rachel nichols, ramona shelbourne, that other white woman i cant remember)
skip bayless is a thing
debate-style shows have increased the amount of hot takes to the point where hot takes have taken over the discourse
people like kendrick perkins and ryan hollins were given professional jobs and they arent very good
many former players that have "analyst jobs" just carry water for certain players
many "analysts" also carry water for certain players[/QUOTE]
Good pointNBA is a stars league so naturally they have inflated egos, more so than any other sport.
There’s no “shield” or brand like other league. There’s no sense that the league is bigger than any individual.
Also older players are jealous that they don’t get the kind of money or attention that younger players get. A lot of them are bitter that they underachieved and wasted away their prime. They get jealous when they see youngsters shining and putting in the work that they never put in.
