Maybe if they won something tangible they'd get more respect?

Add to that - the country was anointing Deshaun Watson as the next big thing in the NFL.

Some cities have a legit claim that they don't get national love/attention. Houston -

Houston is the most disrespected and ignored big city team in all of professional sports and it's not even close.


Dafuq? We're right down the road from y'all, second biggest city in TX, and the rest of the country acts shocked that we keep trying to get an NFL, MLS, or MLB team. Barkley has had his "big ol' San Antonio women" schtick going for like 15 years now
TBird gets the W on this one.

Game set match!!

Something tells me Cubs fans didn't mind being nationally fellated one bit on their way to their most recent title.

Bill Simmons had his annual Cavs tweet thread this morning dogging them.

He’s so scared now.

I’m Not a cubs fan. I’m talking for myself Not them.

I’ll gladly take less of a shot at a title that would be a 10 outta 10 over a better chance for a title that would only be 5 outta 10 on the amount of fun scale.

That was unclear. My point still stands on general terms, however.

Barkley also called out the city of San Antonio and all the women in the city.
Barkley is just joking about San Antonio. It's not even close to the same thing.

If you weren't aware of Inside the NBA's vendetta, you probably didn't notice. But they refuse to say anything positive about the Rockets no matter what.

Every single time the Rockets play on TNT, they could win a game by 30 right now and they will only talk about how the other team didn't play well and had a bad game and analyze them. They never give the Rockets credit for a great game they played.

And it's not just one time that it happens like that. Every single time the Rockets play well, Rockets fans will say "let's see how they spin this one". And they always find away to avoid speaking positively... sometimes to a laughable level.

Barkley has said on air it's because the owner (until this year when he sold the team), Leslie Alexander, cheated him out of $5 million.

So it's not just some biased fan perception. It's real.

It's been like that for so long that I, and other people, really don't care anymore, but it is annoying when people act like it's nonsense whining and there isn't really a bias there. There is.

The Cavs can sell the Wade trade to Miami as a goodwill measure to get him home, and maybe that's part of it, but heard twice today Lue felt Wade was biggest issue in the locker room.
