Why isn’t Chet Holmgren getting more hype?

[Volt]

National TV schedule biting the league in the ass as usual. Whenever underdogs/small market teams start winning, this happens.
Media can't put a spotlight on OKC because of Kiddey.

And most importantly, the media and league are T R A S H at promoting the damn product they're making a living off.

Also, all these three factors feed off each other well.

Because he's not the best player on his team. Don't know how to exalt him as the 2nd best player....but let Shai get hurt the narrative will switch quickly

Because nobody gets excited for Pau Gasol 2.0

 

[desjardins]

Guess it depends on what you mean by "media" cause he's been praised and hyped up during every rookie of the year convo i've heard and he often gets bought up when people are evaluating Wemby
I can see Shannon Sharpe, Stephen A and them types not talking about him but they gloss over/ignore like 70% of the shyt going on in the league so not surprising

You can start by putting winning teams on Christmas instead of the same teams, why was a bunch of .500 teams that may not even make playoffs playing on Christmas? Better yet, why do .500 teams have 30 something national games yet the most winning teams have barely any? And nba wonder why ratings struggle.

Were you counting on the Timberwolves 42-40(Play in) last season, OKC Thunder40-42 (didn’t make the playoffs)to be up in the standings before the season started? and believe ain’t nobody tuning into no Timberwolves/OKC game on Xmas.

Nfl doesn't behave like this, they been putting bum ass lions on national tv for years regardless of their records. If two teams suck? They flex games. Thunder have 13 national tv games( majority nba tv ) while the worst teams have 30+? Tell how this makes sense? In fact why do teams have 30 plus games anyway. NBA have tons talent they afent promoting, different teams should be on tnt and espn weekly.

Getting overshadowed by Wemby and a trash Spurs team. As soon as he starts seeding up thots like Zion people will notice

Whatever stoopid juice the media takes concerning chet.

Is the same stoopid juice the coach Vogel of rhe sun's takes in regards to bol bol's minutes.

I bet if bol bol was six.eight at center named Austin croshere in a klu kluc klan state like Indiana.
Vogel would have bol bol getting an award for just nba minutes Courtside.

NBA needs to put OKC more on nationally televised game. He needs more exposure.

A lot of people saw Haliburton play for the first time when Indiana played the IST. A lot of people didn't realize how good Haliburton is.

There are really good players that a lot of casual fans don't know about because the NBA keeps putting established stars in nationally televised games instead of giving exposure to some young players that are really good. Banchero is another player that should be getting a big push.

I never thought I'd say this, but OKC is the future. Look how good they are already, SGA is a top 5 player, Chet is rookie of the year so far, and they have a gang of extra picks until 2030

 

[Renegade47]

he's playing with a mvp candidate

 

[concise]

he's playing with a mvp candidate

And we don't find it strange that they don't put an MVP candidate's games on TV?

NBA needs more versatile flex scheduling badly
