[NBA] there’s certainly some basketball being played
Ant being a huge ballstopper not helping the halfcourt offense.
Are yall watching this on some janky YouTube stream? I love the 35 dollar jersey ad using the likeness of Lebron, Westbrook, Kobe, Wemby, et. Al. Seems legit.
I'm watching it legitimately but a shady youtube stream reminded me the game was on and it was on the YouTube front page. now has over 150k watching, only had 20k when I found it.

Bronny has already been guaranteed playing time with his dad. He doesn't need to fear the G-League demotion until next year

Yeah despite what appears to be solid analysis, I could not get through that video. I could feel that guy's spit in my face and I think his shrieking popped my ears.

I mean there are a lot of garbage time players with less than 3MPG averages, the charity cases for their brothers like Thanasis and Brobley, and the ghost of Isaiah Thomas in the league so maybe?
Isaac Okoro once dunked on three men in Houston Rockets uniforms, but I'm pretty sure those were just some dudes off the street and not real NBA players.
Yeah, agreed on that Butters. No matter how decent the substance of a video "white man screams at a camera enraged at some petty shit" is just not a YouTube genre that I'm into.
I also kind of think that when it comes to Bronny. . . if you don't like the extra opportunity and attention he gets via nepotism, then maybe don't make entire videos breaking down the failures of a late second round pick during summer league games? Like, we've already established that he doesn't deserve the spot he got, whats the point in continuing to focus on him like this? Doesn't it just double down on the impact:attention ratio imbalance?
The unfortunate part is that ESPN is pushing "Bronny totally deserving of being in the NBA" hard, which is where it's been hard for me to ignore. I still use them to check scores and for random news and it's been a hard habit to break, so the stupid "Bronny sinks a layup" stuff just pops up for me kind of involuntarily.
Buuut I do agree that the angry youtube guy genre is terrible and we should give them less attention, and 0 attention when they are covering Bronny.
the real basketball story right now should be that Canada foolishly put Dillon Brooks in a position to 'motivate' Lebron even worse than he already has before the Olympics have even started

We already took embiid from the French, adding dray to our roster might result in an international incident when we play them
gonna end up walking away with golds in basketball and judo

Gotta be both, just like its well known that Dray and Rudy have Beef, I think its now cannon that Macron hates Embiid and will abuse his power to defeat him.
I can't stand the constant little hi-hat trap beat things that are a ubiquitous part of basketball presentation. I mentioned it to my partner once, and destroyed the broadcast for her, because you can't unhear it. And now you can't either.

Lol I'm not sure if that's a part of the French broadcast or these two NBA people are doing that but either way my sound has been off since the third since I can't handle that one guy sounds like he's in a bathroom
Stickman will never stop being funny to me. I've only ever heard it as a euphemism for an extremely promiscuous guy (thanks Bill Simmons) and I have to do a double take everytime y'all use it to refer to Wemby or Chet.

you never liked AVGN? wow.
I mean, yeah, that's the guy's schtick and his first Bronny video was his most viewed video. Samething with the ESPN et. all with the 4 point Bronny "highlight" videos. I personally don't care that much, but if I'm another draft pick trying to make their way into the league, I'm looking to destroy this dude if I play against him.

wow
lol i love it every time he can show the mav's just how big of a mistake it was letting him walk

it's a weird choice, but they gave his serial sexual assaulter father a job in a definitely not tampering maneuver when they signed him so maybe he's just returning the favor in a very stupid way.
or he thinks another year under thibs is going to turn him to dust. 50/50.
I think we should stop playing exhibition games
The reality is that our guys are playing the Olympics as a hobby and not going to change their games fundamentally to win gold and we're giving the other teams way too much tape to see our weaknesses.
We're theoretically closer to our two week ceiling than other teams are and as such it doesn't benefit us to play any other exhibition games
we should either just cancel them or just play the bench

Is there room for Dray?
Asking for a friend.

You talking bout Macron, Rudy?, or both?
Regardless, I'd side with Dray on this one.
Jokic dominating France right now
surprised this is being bush league live streamed by the NBA channel but here we are

it is being broadcast on the FS1 channel. so if you have a streaming option that has it, you should be able to watch
