Member when you wanted All-Star Center Al Horford to go with Durant and Westbrook?

Is there like a clause in the NBA that says that great players can't leave their respective teams or something?

I was gonna post this but it's goldennugget, he doesn't deserve to know where Rip City came from.

It's also from possibly the whitest era of the NBA - the 70s

Who frick are you to tell anyone anything on here.

You've been pulling this fake bullshite for awhile but apparently this is your life.

All you do is attack people but add no new content...or interesting talking points apart from you're a self-absorbed narcissist.

All you do is troll and libel people in most threads and your comments or insights aren't even remotely as cogent or relevant as the people you stalk and troll.

You just respond. That's why you are a troll first responder...who loves to attack posts but can't post any original content of his own worth a damn.

If you're so full of interesting ideas compared to everyone you troll, why don't you make topics worth a damn?

You never have so apparently can't.

The problem with the NBA - contrary to the NFL - is that it built its brand and model not on the sport itself...NBA almost never ever ever markets the sport of basketball...

It built its brand on stardom.

that is ironical, if you are trying to insinuate that it wasn't like this in the 90s

the NBA peaked in the 90s b/c of Jordan, and that's b/c it was marketed around Jordan

before Jordan, the NBA wasn't on the map nearly as strongly as today

And lastly the playoffs are scripted. I called the rigged 2016 finals in 2014, 2 years before it happened. Said in 2014 Heat lose, LBJ goes back to Cavs, he loses in 2015 but wins it all in 2016. It was Sterns final act. 2017 is Silvers first year at the typewriter. If I never got an admin warning I would keep making script threads


Silver was commissioner before the 2014 playoffs even started

Some of yall are dumb.

You think kyries shot was scripted?

You think lebrons block was scripted?

This aint wrestlemania. It requires skill that is not able to be duplicated. The sport is too fast involving too many moving parts requiring too much skill in order for rigging to occur.

Thats like saying a football game is rigged after a kicker hits a game winning 40 + yard goal. Something that is def not given.

Also if it was "fake" I wish they made the 2007, 2011, 2014. Finals more competitive. Oh and shaqs when he got swept. Because you know. Nothing is better for ratings than a sweep of a finals series.

I agree that it is more entertainment than anything. ESPN and ABC awful promotions building every damn game up like there's some intriguing story line. We all knew it was going to be Warriors and Cavs. I'll watch the games because I'm entertained but we all know the NBA will make sure the refs stretch it to a game 7. Haven't spent money on a ticket in maybe a decade.

Correct. This series is going 7 games. Has to be the most hyped Final series in the history of the NBA.

It will be fun to watch ! Unfortunately, I think these two clubs will meet again next season in the 2018 Finals.

This took months of choreography. LeBron had to miss at just the right angle, Pop had to remember to take Duncan out, Allen had to back up the exact amount.



There's no better play directors than the NBA front office.
