The 2024-2025 NBA Basketball Season

I see where Kyrie is getting it set up where he can play for Australia in the 2028 Olympics. He was born there so whatever.

I'm going with my generation/era

I would replace some players in each group. Strange having Jokic with KD and Bron but I know they are going by era. Milennials or gen x with the 2nd best, hard to go against Boomers. Gen x is just a bad fit, no way they are rolling out KG, Timmy and Shaq. Boomers have the best fit and talent and then Milennials

Make sure you got it all. The show went long, past its scheduled 11:15pm run time, and several local affiliates cut off the ending to go to local news instead. The final segments are Paul McCartney's musical number and then the Goodnights. All the segments are on their Youtube channel if your recording missed anything

Saw someone on socials say it last night,

NBA: Hey players, we need you take this game seriously

Also NBA: Here's a bunch of bullshit with Kevin Hart, Mr. Beast, and 100 other things

Way too many breaks and way too much Kevin Hart

Tighten it up this format can be fun for a few years

I'm sure that helps their ratings

Yeah...I think I got it all....it shows up with around 220 minutes of time recorded...so just under 4 hrs.
I watched the Paul Simon opening.....then FF'd thru the rest of it until it got to the last segments and then the McCartney spot.
But I'll check it all out in it's entirety either tomorrow or Wed...and of course I'll bypass all the commercials which seems like they along were worth roughly 45 min. of time if not more...lol

Court of gold now on Netflix. It is 6 episodes

Will try to knock out tonight but it’s about team USA run to gold last summer. Something good to watch with no basketball tonight

This shit got me my morning laugh

Teague tells good stories

I don’t watch his full episodes but I always catch his hilarious stories on ig or Twitter. Dude is hilarious

Yeah.....

The play-in games added more competition than teams just being "gifted" the 7 and 8 seeds....now they have to earn it. And it gives the 9-10 seeds a shot to make the real playoffs.

Of all the mentioned tournaments, I dislike the play-in the most for exactly your argument, but in reverse. You're telling me that 82 games aren't enough to establish a playoff ladder? The 9 and 10 seeds had all season to get in position and at or under .500; not deserving IMO.

Last nights all star game experiment was a disaster.

I agree with what Draymond said- it sucked.

What would be interesting is American players vs. foreign players. Either that or get rid of the game because it's been terrible for years.

I believe it was mentioned previously in this thread, but a US vs World format would cause even more snub headaches.

 

[shopson67]

Yep it is a simple fix. Last year I stopped watching after the first quarter because I didnt like it. This year I watched all the way through because first to 40 can keep me intrigued but this been nonstop complaining except for like 1 or 2 years in the last 5+ seasons

All I need out of the weekend are the condensed dunk highlights. Trim the excess, just the dunks, and I'm done. In fact, so far I've only seen McClung's dunks and I'm not sure I need to see more.

 

[shopson67]

It is the boomers

But they need to take Malone instead of Barkley

Including Barkley is only because of his relevance today. Otherwise, horrible choice.

I'm impartial, as each pictured team has Laker representation. I'm happy with any!

Kevin Hart content in the NBA needs to be dialed way back. When Muggsy Bogues is taller than you, maybe you shouldn't be part of everything NBA.

Haven’t nearly as funny as he thinks he is.

Yea, appreciate he loves the game but he looks ridiculous standing next to NBA players.

If dude was like 5 9 even it wouldn't be as bad.
