would enjoy a youtuber if they did this stuff

kinda a disturbing read, basketball is just supposed to be hoisting and then running back (picked W's in 7)

thank you for the link lagoon i am going to just gorilla my way through the guy's explainer voice because i am thirsty for the content

lol his voice is so normal compared to most youtubers

maybe because hes more of a podcaster, obvs podcaster voice is very annoying but its nothing compared to youtubers most of whom sound like a 11 year old reading a book report and/or like theyve never spoken before

freakin love the democratization of media

yea ben taylor is good. i dig his pod too. pretty dry but a nice contrast to the normal take culture of big personalities.

nekias is good too.

kind of wild that the all-star center of one of the finals contenders has his own in-depth breakdown in advance of game 1

you know if dray plays bad and the warriors lose at least one of those tv guys is going to get on him about podcasting

the warriors fanbase is always mad @ him for doing them, he's not stopping.

lol salute

stephen a. called dray a pretender in the media business, and dray said that he's "new media" and that stephen a. won't know what hit him, "new media" is the way of the future etc, "you've even got a little new media in you, stephen"

dray obvs going to be a tv guy when he retires, hes pretty raw right now but hes putting in the work one would think by the time hes ready to do it full time hell be way ahead of most guys

yeah im sure hes got some coaching hes already gotten better but hes still too longwinded. i find myself jumping 15-30 seconds at a time quite often. works ok for freelancing on a pod but on tv you gotta get to the point real quick-like.

yeah he also doesnt really explain himself hell be like in the playoffs the schemes and preparation change but then doesnt tell you how, needs to lean into the basketball genius aspect of his personality and away from the being riled up

he stays pretty even on his pod i think. probably good he's not getting in the weeds before a finals matchup lol. he usually gets deeper after the fact.

i want to know the secrets

even on the pod hes still got a omg u guys this is so crazy sort of thing going on a lot of the time

hes def a bit rough and learning the ropes. but yeah by the time he retires he'll be a well oiled machine, for better or worse.

definitely gives the impression of someone who smokes an unholy amount of weed

i signed up to coach my kids basketball (ages 9/10) team and the first practice is tomorrow right at tip off smh. might just bring an ipad and tell the kids to gather 'round.

haha bummer. That’s awesome you’re doing that. you should start a thread??

With all due respect Spottie, I think the kids might learn more from the best two teams in the NBA ;)

that's what im thinking! parents might not like that idea tho. maybe i will start a thread xp.

teach the children to hoist

teach the children to hoist

first lesson: the ball must get higher than the rim before it can drop through

If a child sees an nba player make a layup with his dominant hand from the wrong side of the hoop, all of your hard work will be undone.

have you guys watched the basketball “analysis” on TNT or ESPN?

Every successfully executed one-handed pass, a 3 month regression.

welp

NEWS: Jeff Van Gundy is out for the start of the NBA Finals with COVID, Mike Breen still needs to be cleared for tonight's game, while Woj also has COVID, The Post has learned.https://t.co/AyxnBQeVHn

he clearly had it in sunday's game

ffs

Maybe they can mike up Dray and he can do the color commentary during the game. New media.

dude was just straight up spewing covid onto the court in a game 7, gotta love it

i must say i'm getting some early victory lap vibes from the warriors coverage so far

Really? Everything I’m hearing seems to be pretty split

Oh great, does that mean we get Mark Jackson solo?

they shd just bring in stan

one van gundys as good as the next

i like em both but prefer jeff for his contrary cranky shit, i love it. he'll always have a place in my heart for coaching the pat ewing knicks obv. hangin off mourning's leg, things of that nature

lol, here is the broadcast partner of the guy out with the rona, and he sounds terrible, but we're just going to completely ignore the obvious conclusion.

i prefer stan as a color guy

still seeing a lot of people who seem to think the warriors are way better and a lot of people who think its even. only people who think the celtics are way better are the models, and those arent people

rude

heard a few people say "getting pistons vs lakers vibes"

look just because i am incredibly good looking doesn’t mean i’m not a person

might become a celtics are way better guy and change my prediction to celtics in 5
