Denver literally had to win a championship to get a nationally televised game that ends before 2 in the morning.

Top 10 for sure.



Edit: Though this tweet is obviously Klay and Draymond erasure once you think about it, Iguodala as well.

Wow. How many games did Donald Sterling play? How hard do the owners work compared to the players? It's surprising to me that you see:

1) white billionaires who sit on their asses and collect until they die and pass the team to their kids to continue making money
vs
2) black athletes who do all the work and have a 5-10 year window to make money on average

and you think it's the first group who deserves most of the money. I just don't understand that.

I don’t think the 1st group deserves all the money but I’m also not going to ever call millionaires “underpaid”. I think that’s wild. We all know how revenue sharing works at your average company and it’s not comparable to professional sports.

I never said they were underpaid. But it is a zero-sum game and the money goes to one group or the other.

I think they should be making a lot more than 57%! If we do the math on the revenue and value of these franchises, these owners are making out like bandits. I’d rather see the indispensable people who do the actual work get paid!

And workers in general do deserve a greater percentage of revenue. But we need to build a culture of valuing all workers to make it happen.

For 20 years, I shaken my head everytime I see someone wearing #3 in the few Knicks games I've watched.

Two more championships and I’m on board.

And still nobody outside of Denver will watch.

And still nobody outside of Denver will watch.

They should have it in LA even though the Nuggets are the champs. That way you at least get to see a bunch of celebrities.

The warning is dude only cares about stats and has a huge ego

I’m all for folk coming up, but ESPN is really pushing this chick. Monica is much cooler and sexier, imo.

Facts and Monica actually played basketball.

but Malika is actually better as a actual host

and who cares if she played, Greenberg didn't play and neither did Wilbon.

Valid points, but the more I watch this "New Media", I find myself preferring to listen to former players vs. sports journalist.

Folks like Wilborn and Greenberg are cool, but it's not the same as listening to a show like Pat McAfee and him having former players talking about various topics.

FIBA on fs1 right now

If he comes down here he's going to have a rude awakening lol

I don't

I don't think Greenberg was good at all

Some people like Richard Jefferson are cool, but people like Perkins aren't. A lot of them don't add anything to the point that you know they played the sport. It's not like Tony Romo.

It's really hit or miss and a lot of the former players aren't articulate, have no personality and don't add anything

Congrats to D Wade on his Hall Of Fame induction this weekend. Well deserved. Second greatest Miami Heat player of all time.

^^^ #1 Groupie of All-Time

 

[easy_b]

I don’t care what people say about Mario Chalmers. He saved the heat sometimes doing the big three days.

 

[easy_b]

 

[playahaitian]

In all seriousness

70 Cam 30 Mario (35?) is fair

Because Mario has more to lose.
