Why is NBA Media so much worse than other Major Sports

[fifth column]

That gets your ass on tape delay . If you need somebody to transcend the game what does that say about how invested people actually are in the bolded?

People are interested in the highest level of competition, you can get gossip on reality shows. The truth is that the players don’t have that required level of competitive spirit to grow the game further than where MJ left it.

You have an even cooler story about MJ walking into this reality and winning.

When he didn't win for 7 seasons in his own

i said the NBA needs a MJ in these times not the actual MJ from the Bulls

media isnt real its owned by the nba

If the NBA really owned Inside the NBA it wouldn't be half as funny as it is.

Mike was 30 years ago. At what point do you let go?

24/7 news cycle and you’ve got more and more people covering NBA as a job. Plus we’ve got access to every game via league pass.

Welp he is 61 and probably not in the greatest condition (relative to a top level basketball player that is) right now . League can't do anything about that.

Re-read my post

NBA is trash right now

It’s about standards and not about letting go. The league should be elevating not settling

The league has elevated plenty. But I understand someone's lack of interest in watching more 3 pointers than paint play.

Utter nonsense. There's more money to be made, more roster spots, more television, more "celebrity" thanks to social media and more players playing against one another and with one another at the youth level. It has nothing to do with competitive spirit. If you shoved the players from the 80s and 90s thru the same process, you'd get a similar result.

We did this.

1994 is not coming back. You gotta get over it.

You idiots don’t realize that you are directly responsible for the current day culture of the game. You old heads became so obsessed with protecting MJs legacy that you reduce every player down to ring count and can’t appreciate a great player if he doesn’t have the hardware. So the players stopped caring about anything that isn’t the playoffs. Hence the load management, trash all star game effort and up and down regular szn effort. And now you complain they’re “disrespecting paying customers.”

Who the fukk are you talking too? I’ve never not once protected MJ’s legacy, or made threads about the “good old days” like other posters have. If you like the product the way it is, then that’s on you. You clearly like a watered down, 3-pt contest nightly. Keep on capping for the league if you want to homie. If you like going to games, where it’s 50-50 at best whether stars will play that game or not, then that’s on you too. Don’t flip out on us for pointing out the valid criticisms.

He didn't say he liked the product as it is. No one here likes it much. But not enough people recognize our role in creating many of the same problems that plague the game. We told the players and coaches that only rings matter, so they acted accordingly.

You claim to not big up the “good old days” yet your original post I quoted is the same tired ass old head wax poetic about new players not being “cut from the same cloth.” Make it make sense.

If brehs want the product to improve they need to accept the fact that the 90s were 30+ years ago and that they’ve got sagging titties and a bald head.

I can’t name any other pro sports league whose fans and media alike are so obsessed with shytting on the modern product and putting down the modern players to big up the past. You got Shaq telling Jokic to his face on live TV that he didn’t deserve his MVP. Shaq, Charles and all these podcast guys talking about how xyz wouldn’t last in so and so era. Gilbert Arenas just came out and said players get injured more today because they don’t “practice as hard” in the offseason as the past. Name me any other league that moves like this?

So obsessed with devaluing great players because they don’t have “rangz”. When yall don’t actually give two fukks about rings and it’s just a gate keeping tool to ensure that a current player can’t be compared favorably to whatever dude it is you like from the past.

Yall do this shyt day in and day out and then really turn around slack jawed with shock at the fact that the players have responded by devaluing the regular season and only giving a shyt about the playoffs. The state of the product is you “fans” fault. Losers who don’t actually like basketball for basketball and only like it conditionally.

The results are the results. The league was more popular and people cared about watching actual basketball in the 90’s-2000’s. The court dimensions didn’t change, it’s still a 5 v 5 game. The stars attitude and competitiveness changed towards the game since 2010 to present.

The leg injuries have been more severe this generation

You can't play if you are injured
