The Official NBA Season Thread: Canada vs Australia at 7:30 | Japan vs France at 11:15 | Brazil vs Germany at 3

[art vandelay]

With about 15 onlookers instead of 20,000+

And some of those dunks the video didn’t even show to completion……

 

[akajae]

I turn it off after the players intro. Been doing it for years.

People gonna complain regardless.

 

[atlsfinest]

Not to sound like an salty old man but this is basically what happened. NBA players do not care about anything other than getting paid and being healthy for the playoffs. This makes the NBA playoffs great but the other 80% of the sport suffers.

I turn it off after the players intro.

So you only watch the intros? For what?

 

[Mister Meaner]

Can speculate on how many shots were taken and attempts made but even if alladem dunks were missed it’d STILL be a better product.

Looked like a sesh to tryout new things so yea I’m expecting a few misses outside of this hilite reel

 

[8pm at msg]

I think the NBA is just the sport people love to complain about. Even when things are good people complain (myself included).

As long as they show up for the post season it's all good.

People have no qualms with blasting Zion and Hardenfor their weight but be humble and a mumble in the jungle when it comes to fat *** Luka. They actually give him extra props for being unathletic and slow.

... interesting

Probably cuz Luka's played at least 65 games every year with no major injuries and he's living up to his potential and been deep in the playoffs.

That fit is trash

Look like he pokin his az out in that joint (II)

 

[finessence]

Suits and sneakers forever trash. Messed the whole fit up with sneaks. Blazer should’ve been longer and pants slimmer.

Kobe was the last of a dying breed

Loss Prevention departments at Target stores in the Milwaukee metro area better lock-in

 

[rolaholic]

 

[D StaXX]

Wholesome.

The youth are the future.

 

[akajae]

So you only watch the intros? For what?

To complain.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Don't blame them

If owners/League are so upset about the quality of the product, maybe they should put their money where their mouth is

 

[headdetective]

Not sure if serious.

Could’ve sworn they already have multi million dollar guaranteed contracts to play basketball.

 

[MVP]

Pretty sure on here dudes were complaining about Bean going too hard in the ASG and jacking up shots. Funny how time changes.

 

[headdetective]

Jacking up shots when u lockin down on D is acceptable

 

[don ramon]

this is a whole lot of nothing being said here. i can't figure out the message being conveyed here from lebron
just word salad man

 

[osh kosh bosh]

I have THE solution for the all star game;

Before the all star game, Adam Silver goes out to center court, and gathers all the players and delivers a speech.

He tells all the players;

"What made Larry Bird, Kobe Bryant, Bill Russel Michael Jordan, legends?"
"What quality did they all possess?"

...ruthless...AGGRESSION. cut to a slick video montage of Kobe highlights, quotes, scowling faces ect.

He announces, there will no longer be an all star game MVP award. there will now be, the "Mamba Mentality Trophy"
Awarded to the player that most exemplifies...ruthless...AGGRESSION.

along with briefcase of 1 million dollars in cash.

and there will be a second trophy awarded. It's the "Shaqtin a Fool Trophy"
awarded to the player that shows the least competitiveness.

Adam Silver ends his speech with;



Who among you wants to become a superstar? Who among you is the next legend????!
