Marcus Spears couldn't make his son's college basketball debut because he was working the Monday Night NFL show.
ESPN surprised him by cutting to the game so he could watch his son arrive at the arena.
Awesome moment.
Here is how ESPN completed a masterclass of media manipulation that benefits them ONLY:
ESPN hypes up LeBron signing with the Sixers and playing the Knicks on Ring Night as if the Knicks have to prove anything to LeBron, which they dont
Out of the blue, Shams reports a “black cloud” over the Knicks (Oct. 5) about Karl-Anthony Towns contract negotiations and lots of Knick fans fall for the drama, even when respected Knick reporters refute the story (Begley)
Then ESPN pushes the “they’re still the Knicks” narrative even AFTER THEY WON A TITLE
Naturally, Towns gets the same contract questions for weeks until he finally gets fed up and hits reporters with “No shit, Sherlock.”
**Reminder the 2nd apron limit isn’t something these players just discovered on WFAN. They understand the business and are very close so they all knew the deal (And it’s not just Dolan making these decisions Leon Rose is part of it too.) Nobody was blindsided except fans and the media, who turned normal business into DRAMA.**
Meanwhile:
Deuce McBride (needs an extension) wants to be a Knick for life but says he is focused on a chip.
Josh Hart (wants an extension too) takes the high road, wants to be a Knick for life and says he is focused on winning.
Jalen Brunson reminds everyone that people have bad days(likely referring to KAT) and the team is focused on a chip.
ESPN gets the controversy and hype it wanted for opening night…
The sad part is that Knicks fans are buying it. It’s one thing for haters to buy it but it is sad that Knick fans have bought it bc of their negative Dolan PTSD delusion hit them.
Stop confusing simple contract negotiations with a team falling apart and fans should be relaxed THEY JUST WON IT ALL!!!
YOU’RE BEING MANIPULATED.
