the orlando magic theory is coming to a head

makes a hell of a lot more sense than vegas

Is there more about this proposal? Would they jump into the playoffs?

i think i read that the players will need a month to get back in shape.

simmons and russillo were saying that teams have an incentive to get to 70 games b/c otherwise they'll have to refund some of the money they get from the local sports networks. right now teams are between 63 and 67 games played.

the crowd should be mickey mouse et al

What a Goofy idea I love it

lol

it's a small world after etc etc

NBA TV has game 7 of the pacers/knicks '94 East Conference finals at 9pm ET, one of the best Ewing performances of his career

ah Ewing, the James Harden of centers

fuckin hate the ewing knicks lol

nba changed the rules to prevent that style of basketball from existing

24 and 22!

but without the Ewing/Riley Knicks I wouldn't have some of my fondest Bulls memories ahhhh

here's a dumbass arbitrary list espn is rolling out we can argue about if you guys want

i mad abt it but not mad enough to write a lot of sentences. chris paul is at #40 and he's too low bc a bunch of wack PGs are ahead of him

getting on the list = good stats and a relatable story
position on the list = who has the better story

giannis high as he is is getting silly

i don't even really like chris paul and that ranking is insane

vince over ray allen huh

never opening this list again since it's terrible

mcgrady over both of 'em xp

yeah wtf

i refuse to be tempted by this content

i saw enough to see that some of the blurbs are written by the espn beat guys who, tbc, are great as beat writers but are way out of their league doing all time lists

I hate these lists so much. They really need to split them into like pre 1970 or pre 3 pointer or pre nba/aba merger... somewhere in the 70s. The game is just so different. Then they just do stuff like put giannis and brow way up here based on what they could potentially do. Just hate it all I’m sick of player rankings

Ya it's just click bait

The list is totally fine except for kobe being top 10

wow he's the entire top 10, these Laker fans need to be stopped

wow nba is switching from spalding to wilson startgin 2020-2021. thats pretty crazy news i think. nearly 40 years of being the nab ball..

https://sports.yahoo.com/nba-official-game-balls-wilson-190540763.html

i dislike that

same... seems weird. someone messed up

My guess is Spalding wasn't seeing much revenue generated as a result of being official game ball. I almost never see Spaldings in the wild; Wilson's are the go-to for all rec league, HS, pickup games.

of course, that's their own fault

yah i see them a ton for outdoor use but theyve messed up a ton i think. they priced the nba genuine game ball way out of reach of normal people at like $170. then they got rid of their 2nd best ball and the best bang for your buck ball the TF-1000. then they tried to course correct and brought it back with a legacy edition then tried to come back with the classic edition but it was just never the same. ive still got an unopened original TF-1000 in my closet.

i hate wilson composite balls so much. all of them.

they say the wilson nba ball is going to be same specs and leather as the spalding so i doubt it will be much different. hopefully cheaper!

they gotta switch off every 37 years it's the rule

ya Spottie you're exactly right, that's what I meant by it's their own fault.

I splurged and got a game ball few years ago. Fucking thing went flat after being used like 1/2 dozen times.

Oh that’s not good you shoulda been able to get a replacement

i have a wilson composite ball now and i kinda like it its plush

they priced the nba genuine game ball way out of reach of normal people at like $170.
