Declan MacManus posted:It is extremely hosed up that NBA fans are going to cheer for the commissioner, imo Just wait until he sides with some slimy owner who threatens to move a team or during the next inevitable labor stoppage when he speaks out against the players for demanding a fair share of money from the NBA teams that claim to be losing money hand-over-fist. Silver is such a dorky-looking weirdo, I thought it would be funny if he struggled to lift the O'Brien trophy.

Silver struggles to pronounce names of prospects, looks up and only sees hot lights staring back at him, the sweat creeps down his neck, he pees himself

If that were me instead of a competitive professional basketball player, I would have immediately checked myself out of the game and retired the second the clock hit 0:0.

The fact that like and dislike of Lebron seems to go down racial lines, and the thing where people act like Michael Jordan is their dad and the worry of someone being compared to him (even though people rarely actually compares him to MJ in real life) requires massive histrionics, makes me less optimistic of this than you.

Pretty happy two successful organizations played each other and the one with 4 titles won its 5th and kept the one with 3 titles from winning its 4th.

I'm sure Riley doesn't care when the checks roll in, but him owning that phrase while never actually accomplishing it is really great and amusing and in conclusion gently caress pat riley for trying to ruin the nba.

Hah even on ESPN the narrative on LeBron is already "why is the narrative on LeBron so bad he's great" it's a strange new world of cable complaining about twitter (fans in general)'s responsibility for narratives AND vice versa well when they're not re-airing the "Not one! Not two!" clip (also i think like 1/10th of the basketball watching world simultaneously made an "okay two" joke last night). The only reason people have to hate him is that he's always beating their team. San Antonio probably hates him less already. And there's so many cameras on LeBron all the time I don't think he'd have gotten away with half the awful stuff Jordan apparently did on the regular outside the game. Or even in the game? Jordan fouled Malone, practically grabbed his dick clean off his body on the steal before the Russell push but nobody had DVR
