it is a cosmic felony that if i want to watch the nba finals i have to listen to mark jackson monologue about "greatness"

Are there people that enjoy hearing mark Jackson in the booth?

abc is doing a public service by keeping him in the booth instead of on some poor team’s sideline

I've genuinely wondered this too but there must be enough normies out there to make it ok

really don't like seeing these brute force, only 2 good players rosters win

jackson has a pleasant voice and cadence when he speaks provided you don't really think critically about what he's saying. and he and jvg are very well-paired in that they contrast each other but have some personal chemistry. casuals probably enjoy them a lot because as an abstracted ideal of a 3-man booth they are excellent.

I am that guy who was against the Bulls trading their young core for Kobe but I don't know how you get fully invested in a team like this as a Lakers fan. Maybe that's why one of the biggest Lakers fan I know is at the local bball court now instead of watching.

they should replace both of them with stan van, who was really great in the early rounds
― covidiot wind (voodoo chili), Monday, 12 October 2020 01:44 (three years ago) link
i haven't been listening to much network commentary but have heard it said that jvg has been really good in the bubble. i hope it's true, he seemed like he was burnt out and bored for the last few years.

Definitely the least “laker” feeling team to win a championship. Rondo getting getting a ring with the lakers is weird, and Dwight coming back to win? It’s strange for sure. I’ve loved the intensity they’ve played on defense these playoffs.

i'm not even happy for like 1 individual guy on this lakers team. completely uninspiring.

they're not nearly as hatable to me as all those other lakers teams, but they're a boring watch
― Wayne Grotski (symsymsym), Monday, 12 October 2020 01:55 (three years ago) link
I was happy for Metta World Peace back then, the greatest laker of all time
im gonna hold my judgement until i see what magic has to say

yeah, they're not hatable outside of dwight. they trigger indifference.

I’m going to enjoy every minute of LeBron and don’t understand people who don’t.
― Van Horn Street, Monday, 12 October 2020 02:04 (three years ago) link
He's great, feel lucky to have seen him play basketball, don't know what more you'd want
It is weird how he's just played at this amazing level forever, never really done anything bad off the court, did a lot of great things in the community, and basically seems like a decent guy and people have this weird animus towards him
Yet weirdo miserable sociopaths like Jordan and Kobe are universally loved

i respect lebron hugely as a player and as a person (from what i can see from a distance). i think he's comported himself about as well as anyone possibly could in has position as the most important basketball player for the last 18 years.
as a sports fan i think this stage of his career is boring and inorganic and it's hard for me to feel much of anything about it.

Including continuing to push the lie that his coach "cut" him from the basketball team in high school
― LaRusso Auto (Neanderthal), Monday, 12 October 2020 02:11 (three years ago) link
and i don't think it's even totally lebron's doing! the current structure of the nba made this the best path to a title for him and he took it.

Lebron should probably go in the HoF as a player and GM

very convenient when you can fit the GM and finals MVP into the same interview slot

I begrudgingly convinced myself I'd be ok with the Lakers winning the championship when Lebron started doing great work supporting voter enfranchisement. I'm amazed by so much of his game but don't really care for his bully ball or incessant whining.
AD is forever on my shit list for how he left nola. I'm grateful that at least his ring comes with a big fat asterisk.
― Fetchboy, Monday, 12 October 2020 03:00 (three years ago) link
It doesn’t come with an asterisk sorry.
