I accept that this shit is an industry unto itself now--OKC's whistle is covered like it's the 5th major sport--but this series is as good as it ever gets and this isn't even a tiny part of the story. If you're talking about it I question your ability to enjoy our beautiful game
The 2017 Warriors had a +22.9 Net Rating when all 4 of Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, and Klay Thompson were on the floor together.
The 2025 Thunder have a +27.7 Net Rating when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is on the floor without both Chet Holmgren and Jalen Williams.
(These Netflix hoop docs have been well done which only makes it clearer how much of a shitshow player run media has been. Killing access journalism is way worse than what they’ve done to the All Star Game)
