Let’s say you are a producer on an NBA show and the writers and Teleprompter guy want your guidance on what the host should introduce players as. They can say:
”One of the greatest players of all time….”
”Nba legend….”
”*insert team* legend….”
or
”Former nba player”
For example…if Doctor J is coming out he doesn’t actually have to be many peoples pick for GOAT to earn the title “Former Philadelphia 76er and one of the greatest players of all time…..”The Doctor” Julius Erving.”.
Thats Doctor J. He gets that billing.
But Dikembe Mutombo?
You’d look silly. He’s “Nba legend Dikembe Mutombo”.
Also…you’d look silly calling Charles Oakley an nba legend. But “Knicks legend Charles Oakley.”? Sounds about right.
If Avery Johnson is coming out…it’s “Former nba player and head coach….” and he and his people should find that acceptable. The nba will call anyone a legend. I swear I’ve seen “Nba legend Jerome Williams” in an nba tv commercial. But this is your show. Your rules. It’s entirely up to you what these people are.
So we clear?
You have all these people scheduled to come on this season and the teleprompter guy wants your pick for the following players. Just give me a little.
Goat
Legend
Team legend
Former player
Shorten it to G, L, TL, FP if you like since I’m gonna do….a lot of these. I’m just curious where you put people. Such things interest me:
Paul Pierce
Jason Kidd
Kenyon Martin
James Worthy
Kevin Garnett
Dennis Rodman
Glen Rice
Michael Cooper
John Stockton
Carmelo
Gilbert Arenas
Shawn Kemp
Sabonis(original)
Charles Barkley
Horace Grant
Dirk
Jeff Hornacek
Mark Jackson
Jason Williams
Jayson Williams
Jay Williams
Dell Curry
Moses Malone
Isiah Thomas
Michael Finley
Chris Bosh
Shawn Marion
Steve Francis
Kevin Mchale
Willis Reed
Steve Nash
Wade
Hakeem
Caron Butler
Lamar Odom
Sprewell
Andre Miller
Baron Davis
Jerry West
Jermaine O’Neal
Rasheed Wallace
John Starks
Deron Williams
Joe Dumars
Who’s handlers will you annoy by denying them nba legend status? I feel like you’re gonna wanna puss out and come up with something like “Former NBA all star….” on some of them to be nice but no. We will not have “Former NBA all star Jamal Magloire” introduced to make him feel like a big deal. It’s former nba player Jamal Magloire. We don’t coddle. We ask the tough questions and we will not grant you an all stars style just because 6 injuries got you a spot back when centers had to be selected but the position was already near dead.
Youre the producer but let’s say the network owner is a dick like me who won’t have “Former NBA all star Theo Ratliff” on his screen. If he isn’t a legend we won’t give viewers the false impression he was some kinda big deal. We might acknowledge he technically made an all star team but I will not have Theo Ratliff or Tyrone Hill introduced as the same thing as Amare or Joe Johnson.
We have standards here at the Condescending Jackass Sports Network. CJSN doesn’t give you what you want. We give you what you need.
Give me your labels.
