So the AE did not send home Stephen Curry because he got injured ππππ Espn is a joke. Basketball is a team sport not boxing, golf or tenis.

First Take is boring when Mad Dog isn’t there. They need to pay Mad Dog enough to get him on the show 5 days a week.

Anyone watch Inside the Nba, Chuck tells ESPN “don’t try to make Ant the face of the Nba. You can’t give it to people, they have to take it! SGA is taking the face.”

Crowning Ant face of the league before winning anything is absurd
@mathias3380

The new faces of the league: Jokic and Wembanyama

Games 1 & 2 couldn’t touch the flopper FTA. 3 & 4 were reffed fairly and okc stole 1. Finals will be the worst ratings ever.

Nobody crowned Ant, you have to win a Chip to dethrone Lebron, Steph, Kd, and Jokic. This next wave of superstars have big shoes to fill; Tatum is the only one who’s american with hardware. The league’s best rising stars are international players: SGA, Luka, Jokic, Wemby. Only U.S. faces are Ant and Banchero; U.S. team in 2028 is bound for the lesser podium spots.
