Matt Barnes's rant on 2015

Dear Joe,

Why do you think Barnes's statements were featured so prominently? Why is this leading news on ESPN and NBA.com? These were the leading questions in both of my posts before you jumped in. I'm repeating them here for your sake. I look forward to your cunning insight, per yuuuusual.
 
The public and media like drama, that's why it's a story, to answer NAOS dumb question.

Sure, but this story goes beyond lazy, IMO. If it were simply for drama, then a little extra work could have really contextualized the drama, and heightened it. Instead, it was a deuce of a lazy story, which lingered for two days at the top of both major NBA news portals. I know you've probably SEEN EVARYTHNG, but this seemed slightly different to me. Maybe new-low territory.

Do you never tire of your mock posting of spelling everything wrong?

Dear NAOS,
The quotes from Barnes were featured prominently because it was a story about Barnes. You're welcome for the insight as I can see why it has been so challenging for you to figure this out on your own.

Barnes must matter a lot more than I thought. Thanks for weighing in.

Getting clicks on their article is what matters to websites. The editor probably figured that some numb nutz on Jazzfanz would become so intrigued with his choice to put a story about Barnes on the front page that he'd create threads that went on and on about it, causing people to click on the article even though it is apparently (at least according to you) not of any interest at all since the fact that Barnes has money negates his right to feel upset about what has happened to his family.

your shameless attempts to put words in my mouth are funny. they'd be funnier if this same tendency to create "facts" out of nothing didn't permeate the rest of your shtick.
 
there's clickbait and then there's CLICKBAIT. ESPN has been on a steady decline with this stuff for a while. This is one of the worst offenses, IMO.

also: your mom

(never get tired of that, amiright?)

also: Hayward is teh bess in my arse

(NEVER get tired of that either, toedalay right amiright?)
 
I didn't take a side. I asked why this was a leading story on the two highest-traffic sights for NBA news. Also, he gets paid millions of dollars to play a game, so listen to him speak woefully about his life (in wide distribution) strikes me as silly.


Thanks for following me around in a couple of threads tonight. You're sad.

I don't see anything shameless or incorrect about my comment. Did I misunderstand the bolded portion of what you said in the top quote box, because to me the portion of my quote that you bolded and are so hurt by is an accurate representation of what you said.
