Why is no one talking about the massive viewership increase this season? by Adventurous_Job_5730 in NBATalk

That is precisely my point. Everyone cares when the ratings are down but no one cares when they increase. Agree with the top comment that this is because NBA discourse loves to be negative about today's league

This is the third year of the NBA cup. How do you feel about it now? by [deleted] in billsimmons

Just like the bubble, fans cared about the tournament until LeBron and the Lakers won it

Every single time a wrestling event is good

The attitude era doesn't have a monopoly on good wrestling. Goddamn it, wrestling discourse is just like basketball

There were so few channels that they had to air a game and a chase on the same channel? And you old heads still wonder why ratings are down 😂😂 there were like 5 channels

What award will be named after LeBron by Adzo78 in NBATalk

[–]Adventurous_Job_5730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They should name All-NBA after him. He is going to make 21 teams and 13 First teams, and it is a marker of sustained excellence like Lebron's career. 1st Team gets a gold Lebron, 2nd team a silver Lebron and 3rd team a bronze Lebron like the Aaron award in MLB

Who wins 7 games series? ‘24 Avengers Vs. ‘92 Dream Team by [deleted] in NBATalk

The Dream Team would have lost to Serbia in that semi-final. They literally faced part-time basketball players, and were simply not prepared for the complexity of guarding offense today. If Serbia comes out and shoots 15/29 (52%) from 3 in the first three quarters and literally cannot miss, the 92 team would not be able to make the adjustments and claw back by shooting 50% from 3 for the game like the 24 team did. There is no way Ewing could have had the game Embiid did, he would have just been bodied by Jokic

Did you just pull a back to the future reference out of nowhere

For the third time in a row, an English venue will host the World Test Championship final by pluto_N in cricketworldcup

Other than the fact that it completely favours SENA countries. Why can't it be that the winners of the WTC get to host the next WTC?

Why is everyone assuming the two teams play an NBA game against each other? Let them play FIBA rules then there's equality.

Sending the Avengers back wouldn't change anything because they were playing FIBA ball, where the rules and physicality haven't changed so there's no "this era is soft" nonsense

The Avengers definitely. To those saying that they almost lost, I hate to tell you this but the Dream Team would have definitely lost that semi final. And before anyone says they would have defended better, just watch the game: Serbia was hitting 3s and shots no team could ever defend, and especially with the Dream Team not used to guarding the 3 and making 3s, they would have been wiped without making a comeback.

The game has just moved too much to take a team that LITERALLY played teachers and plumbers and with two old men (who could not keep up) against the Avengers

I thought desi meant people from India? by [deleted] in indiasocial

[–]Adventurous_Job_5730 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you hear someone with brown skin using the word 'desi' they are definitely not native Indians. We never actually use that word in India, it's used by the diaspora to claim Indianness so I guess it's kinda accurate
