Does the Western Conference marketing machine overhype players?

[Stanley Kobrick]

we use to hear so much of players like Blake and Love superstardom out West. you rarely see them in highlights or the media anymore. same happened to Carmelo when he joined the Knicks from Denver, and that was a NY team that had Stat and Billups. how much does being on a West team amplitude the actual talent of players? would anyone really talk about Gobert, Towns or Westbrook if they played out East? discussion

Hype is the same all over.

Those players moved to the East out of their primes already

lol Used to hear so much of Love? What? Not really. Blake, of course, as he was a highlight machine. The fact that he's now old, ALWAYS INJURED and playing on a shitty team might be why we don't hear about him? Carmelo was also more popular in NY than he was in Denver. This is one of your dumber threads on this alt.

Kawhi was lucky to have not diminished when he came in toronto but then again, the raptors were already division champions that time.
