David Letterman's list of ideas to improve the NBA 🍿 | EJ's Neat-O Stat

[@tansubesirik4887]

"Nobody cares Ernie." Only Letterman could get away with that. And Ernie's "I could weigh in but nobody cares." on the following suggestion is epic banter between two legendary TV show hosts.

Man David is such a gem. He comes to the show and immediately you can tell he can easily host it with all the experience he has through the years. And the best part of it Ernie does not mind that one bit, he actually really enjoyed a guest that is so incredibly comfortable being between those guys. Great job TNT, once again!

Of course ernie vibed with it. Letterman is legend comedian. Ernie is funny but not a pro.

You misunderstood david and ernie clearly did not. The 'nobody cares ernie' is not nobody cares what ernie says. It's that nobody cares whatever is on the list.

[@curiositypremiumaccount]

Before I watched the video the thing I was most intrigued by is what the dynamic would be like between Ernie and Letterman as they are both around the same age, have been funny TV hosts in their respected fields for longer than I've been alive, and both have a mid western old school, but enough new school to fit in well with most crowds vibe to them. If I didn't know them and someone told me they were brothers I would believe it, even if they don't look that much alike, but neither do so many brothers out there. Both great entertainers who know how to be stern and reel it in when it is needed c

[@mendrick7916]

Good to see letterman sound and healthy i used to watch him daily on yt.

[@HotdogJuice]

My two personal suggestions to improve the NBA: 1) Clean blocked shots are minus 1 point. 2) 3-2-3 Rule: No back to back 3 point value behind the three line except until the 4th period. A second consecutive basket will only value as 2 points. These two simple rules will incentivize and resuscitate defense and athleticism while adding value to closer post up input and big men playing organically. Both sides of the floor will be equally eventful.

Ernie and David in the same studio. That's awesome.

@@porfiriato84 This is nonsense. Not only did he not get pushed out, but he has done other fantastic shows since he left hosting. He wanted to leave, and not because of cancel culture. Because of the limitation of cable TV. He wanted to do more longform conversations with guests rather than 5 minute fake conversations like he used to do. And he did that. And there are plenty of fascinating conversations he had worth checking out. I wish people would stop feeding into this is hyperbole. It's lazy and dishonest. And cancel culture isn't real. Never has been. Name one person who was "canceled" who did nothing wrong. You're getting being canceled with being held accountable. Dave probably aligns completely opposite of you politically. And the fact that you think this is his first time back in front of a camera since he left his night show is hilarious.

I remember a Knicks Magic game in 1993 where they had gotten into triple overtime and so many players had fouled out, it eventually became a 3 on 2 game. Obviously, Ewing fouled out in regular play.

[@rick_thunder]

I like the idea of treating a technical or flagrant foul like the hockey penalty box. One player has to leave the floor for 2 minutes, leaving his team as 4v5. That would make players think twice before committing them.
