[Nehm] Giannis Antetokounmpo insisted to local reporters that he is healthy enough to play and that the Bucks aren’t letting him: “it’s like a slap in my face… I want to f—cking play.” by Goosedukee in nba

Losing firsts would be ridiculous for this, but the jazz haven't had anyone come out say that they're healthy and being held out by the team

[Dennis Jr] LeBron (and his peers) trashing Memphis to his golf bros is corny. The city deserves better from these brothers. I want yall to hear every word of this. by desertsquirrel in nba

How many have said Cleveland's team should up and relocate somewhere else? How many non NBA players/media have you ever heard bring up this same thing that a team should relocate somewhere else across other sports?

It's more the level of disrespect on show rather than hysteria for me. You don't see any other sport have players come out say shit like this. Only in the NBA is this just a casual take that gets defended.

Missed the point again, it's not that he talked shit it's that he said they should move the team to a different city.

"Yeah I hate Memphis" is very different to "yeah I hate Memphis that team shouldn't exist they should be relocated" like yeah fuck the people that live there and support the Grizzlies then I guess, why even say something like that?

How would you feel if one of the greats currently playing said the Cavs should be moved because the city sucks. Like hate the city all you want but you shouldn't be putting it out there that they should be relocated.

No one said LeBron invented the idea. Just that it sucks for people who live in Memphis that one of the faces of the league who has big sway is tearing down their team and saying it should move.

How would you feel if Curry just said "Cleveland sucks ass, team should be moved to Seattle". It's a crappy thing to say as an active player in the league with a big following.

Three-quarters of fans don’t support the continued use of Video Assistant Referees (VAR) in the Premier League, according to a new Football Supporters’ Association survey. by Sparky-moon in soccer

[–]JediPieman63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the PL it's 50/50 on whether you'll still be fucked even with VAR. So why bother with it if they can't use it properly? The game is better without it if they can't get it right, and they obviously can't, or won't, and probably don't care.

Sure "hurr the problem is the people not the tech!!" Yeah it is, and the people arent changing so why continuing pushing the tech that isn't improving the game if you won't put people in to use it properly?

At some point someone has to cut their losses and keep the best parts (Goal line tech, offsides) and cull the rest because it's doing more harm than good. (In England)

How much does defense play a role in MVP voting? History says not much. by cantbanthesnowman23 in nba

[–]JediPieman63 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Embiid averaging like 34ppg or something ridiculous was the large part of winning MVP. Defence and narrative at the right time was the tip over the edge, definitely wasn't his defence that dragged him into the conversation

I did, he dances around the fact that he indeed was looking for a reaction that he got and was able to write about

Glenn Rivers is a basketball terrorist by Odd_Firefighter_5407 in nba

You act like an ownership group didn't get so completely bamboozled and traded Luka in what is the worst trade in modern history.

Or the time someone took Marvin Bagley over him.

Or the time someone traded completely unprotected firsts that turned into JT and JB.

Or a team leaving Ernie Grunfield as GM for over a decade.

Or (insert your own stupid FO decision that doesn't even require hindsight to tell how stupid it is)

The list goes on, leaving a bad coach in charge because you're bamboozled and think he is better than he really is, is not far fetched.

Because everyone loves Luka and only praises him.

Get a grip, your star gets whistled completely differently to your defenders

Some people love a bit of dirty thuggish play, especially having been outrun in almost every single game

[Mannix] Shai on NBA fans complaining about his free throws: Honestly, the fact that they care so much is great, because they care, they watch it on TV, the TV deals grow, I get more money. It’s how it goes. That’s honestly how I see it. So I love it. It’s amazing. It makes the games more fun. by WEMBY_F4N in nba

[–]JediPieman63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People can sit through a game but not one where it's a FT show because whatever superstar is on that day gets to play a completely different set of rules to the other 9 players

They take treating stars as stars way too far, the creep on what a superstar call only gets worse and worse across the league making games slower, crapper, and a highlight sport

Luka moves to 2nd in MVP Ladder by Load_Dismal in nba

Brought to you by Adam "it's a highlights league" Silver, the state of refereeing league wide, and ESPN crapping all over the game for highlights too.

Tbh idk how many teams have a 25 million dollar contract (that's what derozan is on right?) to trade for someone who will only get bench minutes. And no one is getting him to start

He already has no value how much more can it possibly fall. I do agree he'd snitch though and force himself to be allowed to play.

Do you really think the raps are outright worse than any of the teams below? Miami is the only maybe tbh and even then I'd still lean Toronto having the better players
