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.

Yup it’s rigged. The league wants the Canadian in mighty Central Oklahoma to prevail over LeBron James and the poor little Los Angeles Lakers.

Adam Silver, sits down at a dimly lit table surrounded by shadowy figures dressed in cloaks while rubbing their hands together with glee: “Alright cohorts, how can we rig the league in favor of a small market team from the plain states?”

"savy & smart scorer"
"savant at manipulating the defense to get free throws"
"If you don't want him at the line then don't jump!"
"the difference is that he actually gets fouled"
