I’d love to have more info on all of this. But in my limited experience, Austin is a Spurs town.
Nba don't want the Jazz to win the title.

Austin is just a huge transplant city. A lot of people who live here arent from Texas (and rapidly trending that way), much less Austin, and it's just not a basketball city. It's not impossible to find pickup games (pre-covid) but compared to DFW and Houston it's night/day.
But, by and large Latino's in TX go for the Spurs or Lakers. Plus they have a huge international fanbase. Austin is just an extremely white city.
I guess that depends on whether you think their efficiency of LMA versus scrub post play is better than Harden or KD creating. I know which one I would take.
Nice. Thanks.

Austin is becoming a California rip off.

It’s enjoyable watching my small market team that no free agent wants to go to who can’t get any buyout players get beat by a big market team that every free agent and buyout player wants to join when my small market team worked their tail to come this far and spent years developing? No not really haha

I was talking about the Jazz I didn’t say SA is a small market haha SA is definitely much smaller than the Lakers, Clippers, Boston and Miami though. It’s not just about warmth. I’ve heard it’s nice though haha I don’t know.
Lebronwyn has no legacy he is just a fraud Jordan worked hard and made players better around him when lebronwyn first went to the lakers he was crying like a bitch because they didn’t recruit anymore players then year after they got Davis and others
Bruh you just said the higher the competition level, the more enjoyable.
Why are you lying then?
The Jazz have the #1 record in the NBA. Other teams got better to challenge the Jazz. The competition level raised. Your enjoyment level is too.
It sounds like you're just mad that players can make choices regarding where they want to play (which is ridiculous given that the first seven years of their career they are under heavy team control of whoever drafts them)
Post-Covid we got to link up at a SA game

I live in Houston and Dallas and have been to San Antonio a number of times. It is warm but I would call it a small market by NBA standards.
Also blame "ringz" culture for stars teaming up. The idea that your career is only significant if you win championships. Westbrook dropped an insane triple double in a victory the other night and for some reason Stephen A Smith goes off on how he doesn't care because he hasn't achieved enough in the playoffs for his regular season accomplishments to mean anything.

Ive been to a Spurs-Jazz game. Back when we had JJ, Haywad.
It was the game Exum had that monster dunk. **** looked crazy live.
And JJ hit an insanely difficult fadeaway.
So the grizzly announcer said "this jazz team will give you a chance to beat them on the offensive end" then the other one pointed out we are the only team in the top 5 in defense and offense. lolol

Jordan couldn't beat the Pistons until the NBA changed how Detroit could defend him.
The Jordan LeBron comparison isn't fair. MJ won because the league helped him and media babied him. LeBron won despite facing super teams and constant negative press.
But neither is better than the other. There is no GOAT. Just a Mount Rushmore

Facing super-teams? He built the super-teams. What are you talking about? The mavs were a super-team? The spurs? Golden state was organically built until Durant rode the coattails.

Swing and a miss. LeBron is the owner and founder of super team logic that has really hurt the league.
If that is the conversation I remember, I believe his point was around high variability on three-point shots and they are going to lose some games when they aren't dropping. Which I think is a fair point.
