I blame Adam Silver. Dude thought inflating the scoreboard would skyrocket ratings and save the league. Instead, he's turned the game into a high scoring circus where defense is as welcome as a vegan at a texas barbecue He handed out get out of jail free cards for carrying and

Idgaf what Kasparas Jakučionis gotta work on, when it’ll be “over”, none of that perfect ball, fake scout hoe shit. Jit can play rn and I’m trying to see more of it

Dwyane Wade SHUTS DOWN the 2006 rigged claims from Mark Cuban and the Mavs fans: “Mark stop saying that — we beat yall. Did we get some foul calls? Everybody gets foul calls — I can go back and point to 2011 when one of them series Dirk had 48 — he had 24 free throws…it wasn’t

Tbh the whistle in ‘06 never even crossed my mind. I’m from the Black top era where you don’t even call foul unless it was wild egregious, and most of the time you ain’t call it everybody still knew it was a foul & played on. League seemed to be on the same back then

Adam Silver be overdoing it, sometimes you don’t mess with tradition.

I’m telling you if you wanna fix that tanking thing you start rewarding the play in. Both teams that make the play-in extend the lottery to 16, and get an additional 5% added to their odds of winning the lottery. Subtract 1% from the top 10 teams

Bro got tournaments running wild like this AAU ball, defense can’t sell a ticket, gambling ties, and tanking real bad just because folks trying to secure No.1 instead of leaving a Cooper to Dallas like jump up to “chance”

All star weekend use to be like national holiday lol what happened to the game I love man.

Wade

System is King. LBJ just left so they went 3&D wing instead of 2 guard who got game. Worse part is he never had the 3 & they was forcing it. Booker ended up where he should’ve been, damn sure wouldn’t be the Booker we see today developing with back up mins and no full keys

Jit got ice in his shirt, and he’s a family friend being playful. I’ve seen MJ slap the back of Malik Monk’s head in game. These not the times to do that publicly without some scrutiny though it’s gone look wild

No draft hands down is the dumbest thing the NBA could do besides WNBA players in the NBA

Then it turned into 3 quarters of playing around and only real ball like the last 8mins of the 4th quarter, that’s part of why it got so bad

Ben Wallace is the only player in NBA History with more Blocks than fouls and more Steals than turnovers. #DetroitBasketball

They watch the hype and too many teams draft based on hype behind talent. True drafting requires you have the program, opportunity, jit has the character, work ethic, resolve, skills that translate & talent for your exact situation. Check boxes or bet on hype being good wherever

The reporters laughed at young Giannis for wanting to be the MVP.

32 years ago today, David Robinson dropped a QUADRUPLE DOUBLE vs. the Pistons 😱 - 34 points - 10 rebounds - 10 assists - 10 blocks Nobody has gotten one since 😤

That’s really what it come down to. Players ain’t thinking “hey got some minutes, want more help let’s tank”. The FO’s be thinking “want more talent, can’t bring nobody in free agency, or pull off the trades necessary lets tank”

Wash yo ass, eat breakfast, go outside
