HEY @espn I have a CRAZZZZZZYYYYYYY idea….
how about… we use the thousands and thousands and THOUSANDS of authentic photographs captured over the years of the NBA Finals to show the true and raw emotion from these moments?
Just a thought 🤷♂️
Altering a player's authentic emotion after reaching the pinnacle of their sport for a phony AI image that doesn't even look like that player, is the exact opposite reason why we watch and love sports. We love the raw emotion that it produces. Such a disservice for no reason.
Stephon Castle on the biggest difference between defending Jalen Brunson vs. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander:
"Jalen likes to use angles a lot more, pump fakes. Get to his spots. Not really trying to draw fouls as much, trying to get to his midrange and spots where he likes."
