Is this what LeBron fans go through? All this hate and slander for a 22 yr old potential hall-of-famer. I will agree he is a sore loser. He’s been coming in second place for a long time and he hates losing. That’s also on the coach to make them learn the rules of sportsmanship.
I’m going to give Wemby the BOTD and say he’s still young and dumb, even though he tries to portray himself as wise and classy. Also most French are rude and arrogant. We all know Rudy, I also recall TP saying some shit about Kawhi. There is just so much hate going around.
NBA can play this up like a book series space opera. Humanity vs Alien. Humanity won in first book, Alien learns and comes back for round 2. Seems like Wemby is the villain now, everyone hates him but ratings loved this Finals which means NBA loved these finals.
It will take some time not to react to the hate that Wemby and the Spurs are receiving. They did great this year, were project to barely make play-in. Took “…best teams ever..” down to the wire in each game. Are they young, dumb, and arrogant? Fuck yeah. They will grow in time.
NBA Finals TV ratings are on fire. Close games + great storylines = massive audiences.
Knicks-Spurs Game 2 averaged 16.43 million viewers on ABC- an 88% jump from the same game last year.
It’s the highest-rated Game 2 since the 2018 Cavs-Warriors series.
Games 1 + 2 combined: 16.68 million average (+89% YoY), best start in eight years.
