It's frying me how we're all collectively coming together hoping Shai doesn't win for the betterment of the sport. NBA fans have never been this united in a long time 😭
This was Chris Finch 2 years ago, before OKC won anything.
Instead of the league doing anything about it then, the entire team has evolved into untouchable floppers.
Media heads are now all repeating the same PR propaganda acting like we’re all blind.
Shaimeless league.
Jay Williams says he can’t root for the Thunder because of all the foul baiting:
“As a fan of the game, I just want to see the game respected. There are times where I watch OKC play, I don’t feel like they respect the process of the game. It’s too much foul baiting. When you fall down 95% of every shot you take in the 4th, I get physiologically exhausted”
The OKC Thunder are very good, will likely be an NBA dynasty, and I have zero desire to watch them play.
Watching the Warriors was fun. The Bulls were amazing. The Lakers with Kobe/Shaq or Kobe/Pau were appointment viewing.
Watching the Thunder is annoying unless you’re a fan
Never hated on GSW during their run. Even in real time. Only complaint was how stacked they got once KD went there. But that playstyle was beautiful and pushed the game forward
This shit OKC is doing is nasty to watch and a big reason why league viewership is crashing
Carmelo Anthony is TIRED of people disrespecting Dwyane Wade:
“D-Wade was a bad MFer. I don’t think people understand how bad of a MFer D-Wade was. I’m saying it with this much passion because you don’t hear that name come up in basketball amongst this younger generation…like how the f*ck are yall just erasing that? Like no we ain’t letting you erase that…he was probably the best at shot creation ability…arguably he was the best 2-guard in the league…one of the best superstar players to play without the ball…”

“I’m tired of people playing on my name… you’re talking to somebody that within 5 years had a Hall of Fame career… I’m not the one to play with.”😮💨
