Why is he the on-time but most of the NBA isn’t?

It always drove me crazy that "game time" was 7

But they actually start at 7:08 after all introductions and NA.

Can't was start that stuff at 6:52 instead?

You think this is bad? The All Star game was supposed to start at 8:00. It started at 8:42. That’s why he’s mad

Being on time is a form of white supremacy.

This is an American sports issue tbh. MLB is probably the best at it since they give you a first pitch time.

Well yeah it’s the all star game. You get introductions, stuff like Shaq with the Jabbawockees, the top 75 players unveiled, etc.

Reminds me of a scene from the movie Barbershop

What if time doesn't actually exist and is just a social construct created by white people to oppress others?

You joke but being punctual is a sign of "whiteness"

This is all sports.

"Tune in for major sporting event at 7PM central!"

Then the game doesn't start til almost 8PM.

If that's the case just say "coverage starts at 7 central".

I disagree. NFL starts at exactly the given start time. Baseball gives exact times as well like 7:49 first pitch. This is an NBA problem only.
