Yeah, I don't mean like that. I mean that if 6 years from now DM has 800K followers and a rookie goes to the Lakers and instantly gets 5 million followers Mitchell might decide to leave Utah for the opportunity to gather followers. It's true that this stuff matters. I have a teenage niece who has over a million followers as a result of reality TV. She makes good money monetizing those followers.
I'm with Kicky. Don't even know what the hell instagram is other then being a form of social media lol
How many do you think he would have if he could jump off of 2 feet?
I just don't see it. I get what people are saying about opportunity, and popularity. I just don't see it as any factor in deciding where they want to play. A lot of players are just never go to a smaller market, or Utah in particular for obvious reasons. I just don't see marketing or popularity in having even close to what it has meant in the past. In the pre internet days where the only games you could see on tv is what the nba and tv station would show then ya it mattered. Big city teams got more play on tv, and players got more attention. Now every single game is on, and every player has thier own self promotion tools like Twitter and Instagram. If your good enough at basketball, got the personality and looks you are gonna get endorsements. Doesn't matter at all where you play anymore when it comes to getting your name out there. Where you want to live, type of contract, and playing opportunity, and championship shot are what matters. Just have to accept the fact that most players wont come here because, lets face it Utah is a pretty strange place. Especially for outsiders. That's the biggest factor. Utah is beautiful, clean, quite, and honestly pretty bizarre in a lot of ways. It's time we accept the fact that we don't get free agents because we are weird, not because there aren't enough publicity opportunities.
Best Stockton backup ever, tbh, even better than Eisley. At least his second stint (Crotty's, not Eisley's).
