Thoughts on the current state of basketball discourse

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

This move from Shai was filthy… made Wemby touch the earth 😳

[Dillon @D_Rhea]

Thank you Philly

NBA discourse is at an all time low.

Every single game it’s refs this and flopping that. No matter who it is. In fact, most of the people who complain are floppers themselves. JB. Reaves. Luka.

Everyone approaches the NBA with so much anger. They remember a different time. There was no different time. Kobe shot over 10 FTs a game for 3 seasons in a row. The only player that hit that stat this season is Luka. Players have always tried to get calls. It’s part of the game.

A lot of people are mad because basketball isn’t something for them to watch and enjoy, it’s a business where they can make money. Sports betting is everywhere, and it’s mostly the dumbest and poorest people doing the bets. It builds lifetime hate for players who, like everyone else, have a bad day once in a while.

The worst culprits are the “Hater Central” and “Brick Center” and other accounts that take specific angles and videos and build videos that only tell whatever story they want to tell. And it’s never going to be a positive one. They discovered that certain players get more clicks than others, and they only post about those players, making them look worse than those who are even more egregious.

People will see a few clips, not watch actual games, and form opinions of things so fast now. It never used to be this way. Everyone is more reactionary now than ever. One game it’s the Spurs are cooked. The next, it’s the Wolves are cooked. Let things play out. Give it time. I blame MrBeast, TikTok and Shorts for this.

Unfortunately, big Twitter accounts only complain as well as posting 99% of other things doesn’t work unless it’s something stupid like “Popovich solved the Wolves in 1 film session he’s the goat”. People want to fuel their hate.

they were saying ant might be back for game 3 like 72 hours ago and they just stole game 1

[Dillon @D_Rhea]

A dude has 11 blocks in the game and yet Ant Man is the most impressive player on the count. Gutting. It. Out.

[Dillon @D_Rhea]

Need McDaniels to end this series with a dunk

[Underdog NBA @UnderdogNBA]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander… sure

[Brandon Rahbar @BrandonRahbar]

SGA on being a father and how it relates to hoops:

"Whether I make or miss, he doesn't care. So that kind of puts everything into perspective.

There's bigger things than the game of basketball even though we all care so much about it."

[Underdog NBA @UnderdogNBA]

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander named Clutch Player of the Year.

I have found my favorite League Pass content of the season.

The Cleveland Cavaliers DONT BLINK CAM, where Sir C.C. takes a leaf-blower and blasts you in the face.

The contestant who keeps their eyes open the longest wins.
