It's way more than that... but if you add it all up across the entire fanbase? Billions of dollars.
No one cares?
:lol
The league wouldn't EXIST if no one cared. And they'd be making no money and this very thread dedicated to a certain players contract wouldn't exist.
You can hang all the banners you want. Certain victories are...
dah inflation started when the pandemic ended , cause trump had people stay at home taking Ivermectin.
hundreds of thousands died, homes were lost and the fat boys got richer.
The Celtics don't know you or care about your existence. Bow your head or scratch your balls, no one cares. The banner will go up in the Garden, the city will have a parade, and the team will be remembered as champions. No one in the team is concerned with whatever 5 bucks or 50 bucks you contribute to their collective wealth.
Nah,
GSW got at least a nice test in Memphis and Houston featured 2 close home games to start. If Houston takes that game 2 that series would have been real close.
Same.
They usually give the superstar the bail-out call in that situation, and then Ant with the way hes created hype around himself, and created those MJ/Kobe comparisons, surprising he wasnt given the whistle.
That could change quickly in game 2.
I disagree. When Trump signed the CARES Act (Senate voted 96-0), INFLATION (1.5%) was NOT a problem and the economy had been shut-down - people were losing jobs left and right. Look at what the inflation has been under Biden and he KEEPS SPENDING and WANTS TO SPEND MORE - $7 TRILLION proposed budget.
2024 3.1 3.2 3.5 3.4 ...
There were some plays I was shocked they didn't give minny the whistle in Game 1.
Ant had two drives where he flopped to the ground and violently threw the ball away looking for calls westbrick style and there was no call.
Those were the two plays Kidd used his challenge on to review it was off Ant.
Watch this game... when Ant drives in...
If Dallas can hit their 3s in this game they can win.
There's gonna be a MASSIVE whistle advantage for the wolves though.
And it's going to take red hot shooting to overcome.
The best player on 4 of the last 6 champions has been a low hold-time player (Tatum, Jokic, Curry, Kawhi), and we can add AD to this list if we think he was the best player on the 2020 Lakers - he joined a lottery team and was their leading scorer, while turning their defense from worst to 1st.
Ultimately, the low hold-time players (biggest...
Us "idiots" made these guys collectively billions of dollars. Without our viewership and money these dudes wouldn't have squat. And that actually makes our opinions matter MORE. We fans are the backbone of the NBA. If everybody tuned out, theyd be nothing.
So of course we idiots matter. We're the only reason the league exists as a profitable...
An NBA team is a business like any other business. Each contract should come with a risk and cost analysis. If player X is signed to Y contract should contribute to Z. Z variables are jersey sales, TV appearances, fans in attendance, projected wins, years of high level production, etc.
To simplify it to "that's what stars get paid" would...
Our inflation rate, which is still better than most of the world all things considered, is due to government spending, but Trump did the most of it. I never said Biden is innocent, both spent under the guise of covid, but Trump is the most guilty. The PAIN you speak of is both Trump and Biden, but moreso Trump.
No way.
Mutumbo was decent at basic low post offense in his later career, Gobert has no moves at all.
Toody would be more important on defense and get more blocks though, because he'd be allowed to camp under the basket.
Have you forgotten that "little" thing called Covid-19 when most businesses were shut down - when people were losing jobs left and right because of covid? We were already coming out of the pandemic when Biden irresponsibly spent another (unnecessary) $1.9 trillion dollars with the American Rescue Plan - not to mention his Inflation Reduction Act...
That's crazy. He was in good health from a visible standpoint, but that's why I never drink and have never smoked. Alcoholism can cause cancer and everyone knows smoking can cause cancer.
Way too young. RIP. With the angels and God now.
It's bad luck and a bit arrogant to talk as if the Celtics already have the championship this year but generally speaking, if a pro sports team wins a championship they have achieved the ultimate goal in their sport, will be remembered and celebrated by the city and state they represent, and could not give a damn about the opinion of some random...
They won 64 games. This isn't a team that needs to be overhauled. If you have a starting five that lead you to over 60 wind that should be good for two years, maybe even three depending on how Holiday ages, you keep that core intact. Brad Stevens is an excellent executive, he'll keep the supporting cast solid (and with Pritchard signed had a...
Steph and particularly Kyrie would definitely lift the team. AD too, but he might be too small to play center in FIBA and not enough range to play forward.
As you say, Lebron, KD, Kawhi, I doubt they will really be able to do much at their age and injury situation.
