So this is kinda what ESPN does. They have one of their personalities "make News" with a take and then they have all of their people talk about that take the rest of the day.
Its a never ending cycle and its pretty damn smart.
It's the decades old Fox News model repurposed for sports.
Your pundits set the table by creating content for your other shows by presenting sensational and captivating takes or stories, often with some sort of conflict so people can take sides, that everyone spends that day or the next day covering and debating through different lens'.
Thing about this one is Zion is being framed the villain(mostly) and the Pels the victim.

Can't build a relationship with someone that doesn't want to build a relationship with you.

I want to build a relationship with Mila Kuniz, think I can figure that out?
Somethings there's no figuring out, especially when you've approached from every single angle imagineable.

When is the next time Barkley and Shaq are on TNT? I'm hoping they go JJ x5.

It’s a culture problem with today’s average nba player.
Understand that fame is more valuable to them than anything, even more than a dollar. They will want to go to Cali or New York to play because of this. Next best to them is Chicago, potentially on the outside there’s Houston or for the glamour of the city on the Florida beach, Miami.
The rest of the cities in the NBA don’t net them any fame man. Nola being wayyyy down the list of places the average player wants to go play. The rest are just talent farms.

I think y’all just missed Soggy admitting to stalking Mila Kuniz.

Ja's fame blowing up pretty big in the most comparable city to NOLA in the league.

No assuming needed.
Retained a players coach trying to appease him.
Hid the fact he showed up out of shape 3 years in a row now.
Hid injuries.
Hired a tough love coach that Zion himself said he would like because that's how he likes to be coached.
Brought in vets to take leadership pressure off.
Traded those vets to add leadership pressure.
Added All Stars to help elevate team.
Played Zion up as the face of the franchise
Downplayed Zion as the face of the franchise.
Fired the tough love coach Zion hated after he got the tough coaching.
Hired another players coach that now every single player involved with the organization and even some outside are eyeing wanting to come play for.
Literally has tried almost every angle imaginable.

Doubt it has much to do with fame, as much as it is being in a city where the fame gets you into nightclubs, restaurants, events, etc. with other famous people
Zion might be lucky to skip to the front of a french quarter ghost tour in Nola

AD’s did too in Nola. He gone now.

That's pretty much correct.
A market like us, you need to strike gold on the players that aren't all about that.

Still haven't talked with JJ about it. I guess that was a tease to get us to watch this entire shitty show.

Talking Zion now, they said since CJ made his comment, Zion has then reached out and they talked.
