Nba don't want the Jazz to win the title.

I don’t know what the league can do to stop super teams from forming but it’s becoming a real problem. It doesn’t make it feel like a real championship if a super team wins. Golden state with KD is not a championship, it’s automatic and inevitable.

It’s like high school players beating elementary basketball players then pretending they won something substantial and showering themselves with champagne. It’s not impressive haha it’s weak.

Those warriors wins were way more impressive before KD joined the team because they built something through the draft, through chemistry, through innovative play and toughness.

It sucks when your team works hard to get to the top of the league, then a huge market team just casually adds two good pieces from the buyout because players want to ride the coat tails of others.

Uhh, nearly everyone stays with the team that drafted them for the first 7 years minimum. At some point the balance sheet gets too high and the teams cant get anymore talent because they dont have the cap space and they arent getting high picks because they are a good team. That's when stars should leave and that's when most do. I dont think stars sticking on their OG team only to be a middling team with no real contention hopes is good for the NBA.

A bunch of washed vets and a guy who has never impacted winning joining the marquee teams isnt some huge balance changer.

So when KD, an mvp, left for a historically good warriors team when Okc nearly beat them in the playoffs it’s good he left because he’d be a washed veteran otherwise? Haha what? Lebron left Cleveland in his prime to join a super team because he would’ve been washed if he stayed?

Yeah many players are washed that leave their original teams - that’s not the issue. The issue is mvp caliber players going to already stacked teams and zero mvp player calibers willingly go elsewhere or willingly going to smaller markets. The best players always leave small markers for big markets, almost NEVER the other way around. This creates an enormous unfair advantage to large markets.

Ok?

Change the team you like then if it bothers you so much. The washed players i'm referring to are Griffin and LMA. Drummond is the guy with no impact on winning in his career.

And yes, I think the NBA imporved with Lebron going to Miami. I think the NBA improved with KD going to GSW. It made for interesting storylines. It creates teams people love to hate. Parity is extremely overrated.

I think Nets going to make the finals. Isn't the owner Chinese? There's probably some huge deals waiting for the NBA and players if they do. They lost a lot of money with the Morley issue, probably one of the reasons why harden chose Nets. Now that Morley is the gm of 76ers,china don't air their games, not even replays.

He is Taiwanese, which is Chinese ethnically. But as you may know, its a group of Chinese that fled China when the communist party took power. But he was a founding member of one of the biggest companies in China. But I dont think he has much interest in pushing mainland China agenda.

The NFL says hi!

The NFL says hi!

The NFL is popular for a lot of reasons and parity isnt one of them.

Tom Brady says hi!

The NFL says hi!

Lol you mean the league where one QB has been to the SB 10 times in under two decades?

The league where you won’t win unless you have an elite QB and/or elite D?

Uhh... I don’t quite follow. The point is... Jordan never went ring chasing. He stayed with 1 team and then... when he felt he could no longer be the best... he retired - just like John Stockton and Reggie Miller. The original point was that... LBJ is no Jordan.

LBJ is definitely no Jordan, but he is actually one helluva LeBron James.

big lolzz to those pundits who think noone wanna watch Jazz in the Final when the most watched NBA Final ever features the Jazz.

 

[Goodluckchuck]

Super teams are bad for the sport period. There is no more hard work pays off. It’s a participation trophy when the super teams win. Great you won. You were supposed to win! It’s no longer competition of sport. It’s drama / entertainment. And the league questions why ratings are tanking? Why watch if you know the ending....

This is why the Jazz winning it all this year can set in motion a change in the league that is very much needed.

Why a Utah Jazz championship would be the perfect antidote

In this superteam era, every NBA fan should be cheering for the Jazz, or, for that matter, the Bucks, Mavericks, Suns and Nuggets. Here’s why

If the Jazz get past a stacked Lakers squad and then beat Brooklyn this would have to be one of the hardest Finals victories in NBA history.
