NBA has been dead for years.

I used to passionately follow the league but I've completely lost interest. I couldn't give a fuck anymore.

I feel the same but a lot of people do watch still

1990s to early 2000s is NBA peak era,the same as football. Franchise players have their own aura and iconic skillset. They fight against each other rather than form super team. You rarely see foul baiting or soft whistles. Take me back to the time when all stars wore jersey of their own teams.

Wait what, I don’t follow NBA but I saw he scored 80 something points, but why it’s unethical? Why is he explaining himself?

They jumped on him saying the record is trash. If Kevin had done it, everyone would’ve been dancing for a week

Just look at his stats from that game and then basically every other game in the rest of his career. Or watch the highlights.

Just did and also found this piece:

Kobe's 81 points was far more impressive IMO.

The "81" in my username is actually a direct reference to that game...

 

[Ronn]

This is impressive, even if the league is easier to score in and you get 10 FTAs per game.

Fantastic player but fans need to stop manufacturing stats. This is from last year’s WCF:

They probably mean regular season games only. Or I hope so lol would be odd if they missed the playoff stats, he also had a dud game vs Pacers if I recall.

 

[JuveJay]

Yeah will be regular season. Otherwise all his teammates celebrated the record the other day with him for no reason lol.

 

[JuveJay]

Cody Williams putting up 34 points shows how ass March NBA is.

Wizards going 0-10 pulling anyone who scores, Adam Silver nowhere to be seen. Mavs also tanking HARD right now, maybe they can still take advantage of this Luka deal...

Lots of talk about expansion coming, probably in 2028. Seattle (great) and Las Vegas (yawn).

Did you guys see the Onion's post about Adebayo.

Vegas is getting everything

I am no expert in economics but Vegas and Seattle expansion bids worth 7 to 10 billion? Man that is crazy money cuz Lakers who have the highest franchise valuation is valued at approximately 10 billion.

valuation keeps going up every year.

and Vegas has been huge for sports now that they have a football and hockey team. A lot of money flows through that city

 

[JuveJay]

Obviously all the billionaire owners are going to vote for more money in their pockets, in these scenarios. Even Utah Mammoth hockey team cost the owner over 2 billion just to relocate.

In an ideal world you'd move a couple of teams where the fans are completely apathetic, like the Pelicans, and/or their franchises are just pathetic, like the Wizards, Kings or Hornets.

The fact the NBA is moving into Europe and maybe places like Mexico City suggests the interest and money train will just roll on.
