We did it boys!

Silver 100% bullied them into this. He is obsessed with his terrible ideas.

LeBron and AD were able to bring 2 banners to the Lakers.


We want rings with it too.

This is the gift that just keeps on giving lol.

Great win but still feeling pretty meh about it overall.

However, it was enough to cause meltdowns on the hating fools so it's amusing too at least.

Their really going to hang up that banner? IST is great for the NBA but common, its nowhere new a chip. Silver is trying to shove it in everyones throats.

Players like Steph were out with injuries. Any star player can miss a game or two and not make it to the qualifying rounds of the IST, thus getting knocked out. You will have 4-8 seed teams in their conferences playing in the final game of the IST. Honestly the 4 teams making the playoffs conference finals is even more of a accomplishment and there is no banners hanged?.

Even the great LA Lakers are hanging banners for regular season wins against mediocre opponents. Cleveland I can see. Maybe Milwaukee. LA Clippers, possibly. But the Los Angeles Lakers, winners of umptenth *real* titles? Home of Wilt, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Kareem, Magic, Worthy, Kobe and Shaq? I thought they and Boston would be the last ones raising a banner for this.

This guy is STILL crying about the IST

I think it would be ok if the winning team hoists it up until the next team wins and so on.

I'm more interested in how this IST will be looked at 20 years from now. Will it be more popular and will fans/teams hold it to a higher regard? I'm pretty sure nobody gave a shit about the FMVP when it was introduced.

When the Dolphins went undefeated in 1972 it wasn't even a big deal back then to the players and some fans, now it's a big deal and the players from that team just ran with it.

They'll remember this like a pre-season all-star weekend

It's all entertainment, but no gravitas
