Watching the NBA get @dead

[ttyh]

In this thread we can share articles and other media detailing the demise and ultimate death of the once great NBA.

There is plenty of information, but I’ll get us started. This is a doozie.

God has made bigger assholes than Mark Cuban, but not many.

Unfortunately they don’t need us anymore. The Chinese are keeping the NBA afloat.

I didn't even know they were playing. I thought they were starting late because the shutdown had them playing late... turns out no one I know follows that shit anymore.

 

[Rushie]

Can't remember the last time I watched an entire NBA game. Maybe when Olajuwon was with the Rockets.

 

[MIZCDB]

Hard to stop watching something that I haven’t watched in years. Gotdamn communists.

 

[TopHook]

Only reason I come into NBA threads is to see the demise if it.

I watch the Knicks for Obi. He's my daughter's friend and a truly good person who has worked his ass off and is still working.

That's it. That's the extent of my NBA watching. Obi Toppin.

Nice smiling update on a classic .....

 

[skramer100]

Loved basketball but haven't turned it on this year. Big Heat fan and didn't watch a second of the finals. Didn't even know that Jimmy Butler missed like 6 games or something due to COVID until a friend told me. Friend that likes to get me riled up sent this too me, just responded with they don't want me to watch so I don't dude. Enjoy your CCP league.

 

[Thasubliminal]

I would love to watch the old Bad Boys play the current Lakers in one game.

I honestly didn't know either and I have friends that are pretty big basketball fans. No one gives a shit anymore.

Without officials.

Found this historical reference regarding the origins of playing the anthem at sporting events to be interesting:

...After America's entrance into World War I, Major League Baseball games often featured patriotic rituals, such as players marching in formation during pregame military drills and bands playing patriotic songs. During the seventh-inning stretch of Game One of the 1918 World Series, the band erupted into "The Star-Spangled Banner." The Cubs and Red Sox players faced the centerfield flag pole and stood at attention. The crowd, already on their feet, began to sing along and applauded at the end of the song.

Given the positive reaction, the band played the song during the next two games, and when the Series moved to Boston, the Red Sox owner brought in a band and had the song played before the start of each remaining contest. After the war (and after the song was made the national anthem in 1931), the song continued to be played at baseball games, but only on special occasions like opening day, national holidays, and World Series games.

During World War II, baseball games again became venues for large-scale displays of patriotism, and technological advances in public address systems allowed songs to be played without a band. "The Star-Spangled Banner" was played before games throughout the course of the war, and by the time the war was over, the pregame singing of the national anthem had become cemented as a baseball ritual, after which it spread to other sports.

Stories like this demonstrate how far gone the woke NBA has become. None of these guys could have handled playing in the NBA of the 70's-90's. Shit talking is a part of the game. In today's NBA, they make this a story:

And the village idiot keeps shouting from the mountaintop. This is my favorite quote from the article: "I speak from a very educated mind, so I'm kind of the wrong guy to actually go at because I do my homework." -LBJ

He sounds like he has an uneducated mind pretending to be educated. That said, he’s had worse interviews. The NBA has dug its own hole and alienated its American fan base. I am looking forward to Chinese expansion. The Wuhan Pangolin-Bats vs the Los Angeles Wet Markets.

I prefer this one.

I would love for them to hasten their death.

Propose to play an entire season in various host cities in China.

Just cut to the chase and go after the China money in one big swoop.

Think of Lebron coming to play the Knicks of that era with Ewing, Oakley and Anthony Mason. Bet he would have a lot of sore hamstrings.

Eastern trips with the Pistons/Knicks/Bulls of that era would scare the shit out of him

I have developed an almost irrational hatred for LeFlop. I despise his pompous and arrogant notion that his opinions mean more than everyone else’s. Shut up and dribble was the most appropriate line ever spoken.

 

[bigassmoney]

hate NBA now. Hate Lebron more. Just heard him mention talking about Black History Month "they gav us the shortest month".

However, me Wiz got my watching them

The question is, do you wear suit shorts?

I just noticed the purse.

I just noticed the purse.

Can’t decide if the purse or suit shorts are my favorite part.

Ugh... China is actually racist to AA's. Not sure they are gonna grow much there especially if they hang out there and interact with the locals. On tv with control of the image is one thing. Let one black dude beat the hell out of a couple assholes in a bar and watch how quick that goes to hell.

Using Old School Refs that lived by "no blood - no foul"

Thank Christ. And this was after the most competitive and fun All Star weekend ever last year when they did it for charity, so it’s not like they can just pull the ole “oh people just don’t like all star games” argument

I'm sure Covid had everything to do with that, because it forced people out of their homes and away from their TVs.

These asshats (the media) will piss on your head and tell you it is raining and half the country takes it hook, line and sinker.
