Inside the NBA Could be Cancelled After the Playoffs

Inside the NBA Could be Cancelled After the Playoffs. Charles Barkley, Shaq, Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith. Inside the NBA best moments. Inside the NBA funniest moments. Funniest moments from Shaq & Charles Barkley. NBA on TNT. NBA on NBC, NBA on Amazon. Inside the NBA ending. Inside the NBA removed. TNT losing rights to NBA.

[@timmorales1569]

When you start telling the truth about players this is what happens. Lebron is the problem with everything to do with basketball. Him getting his coach fired is proof he’s not gonna retire and proof of the lakers picking his son up in second round and the whole reason for having a second round. Shows you how much power he has and I guess all those P.DIDDY party’s help him with the woke gay commissioner. All his clutch sports paid media sure helps him like Shannon nick jj and the rest of them fools. Basketball is turning into politics and if there is no truth or if we are only gonna hear about the lakers then we just need to stop watching.

True, the NBA is about achievements and narratives and right now it is sooooo boring. The quality is actually very high, and there is a ton of talent, meaning that the best players are only slightly better than an average player...everybody can shoot, everybody can score at the rim and the lack of a need for a complicated iso game means everyone is pretty much equalized, and the games come down to who has the most good players, and not the best player anymore. And there isn't really anyone to hate or cheer against, and there isn't an underdog story like Steph to cheer for...were going to be stuck cheering for 7 foot 4 guys who can run point and shoot 35 foot threes at will...the most unrelatable players ever.
