So legendary that people still talk about it today ^



Now a days you got euro's vs jimmy butler or euro's vs a team of roleplayers or euro's vs devin booker....no hype....no fanfare.....just a lack luster finals with no superstar personalities in it. What happened to basketball?

aint nobody getting hyped to watch jayson tatum vs the fking rockets


Where are the Kobes?
the jordans?
the shaqs?


this league is doomed when lebron and curry retire. Just gonna be a bunch of euros left who can scapegoat teammates when they lose.

Zion coulda been the guy, but it turned out that was the one thing on the planet he wasnt hungry for.

But hey, dont worry bud. Cooper Flagg is American ;)

Injest this into my veins.

Not correcting you here to be a smart ass my dude, just helping out a non-native speaker:

The term for sticking something into your veins would be 'injecting'. To 'ingest' something would be to swallow it down the traditional way thru the esophagus.

Theyre similar words with similar meanings, so it's a perfectly understandable mistake.

What happened is that when you were a child you got charmed by a bunch of manufactured superstars into buying some Nike's. Then you grew up, peeked behind the curtain and complained that the Wizard of Oz ain't what he used to be. Rather than admit you've been scammed all along. Just stfu, stop asking so many questions and enjoy the show

Exactly. Hard to be as excited as a grown adult for some guy playing basketball for a living. You either love the game or you don't.

I actually have no idea how it said "injest". I meant to type inject. I think I perhaps wrote it on my 2nd phone which I never use and has weird auto corrections. But thx for the heads up!

I mean hed be right if we didnt have luka and jokic... but we do have luka and jokic.


Jokics appeal just isnt the same as the other backcourt GOATs but hes just as intriguing to me.

I miss the old commercials that got me hyped for playoff time. Now there's next to nothing. Something I've noticed under Silver, they don't advertise their players or the game like they used to under Stern.

Sign of the times.

They dullify everything.


Same in every sport.

More to do with the cultural decline and bleakening and simplification of everything than Stern/Silver.


Football (soccer) had legendary commercials every year. Nike, Joga Bonito, Adidas, even Puma... all whitewashed now.

They dont put that effort in anymore.
