That’s interesting…though I don’t see what’s wrong with counting both tbs and tnt broadcasts…if people are watching it counts…I can see how counting bars, airports, restaurants can be misleading though.
I agree that it's better if they're trying get a more accurate understanding of their viewership numbers.

The misleading part is that they're not openly disclosing how the data collection has changed. Most people just see the headline that the viewership numbers are up without getting the full context.

Didn't watch. Then I saw Book's highlights on youtube and gave it a try. Stopped after 2 plays, disgusted by the lack of D and motivation.
Watching trained mices playing ball was more interesting than that. Really.
Thank you for that!

In spite of all the traveling, hanging on the rim, and same basket scoring, it did surpass my all-star viewing pleasure.

Check out the dunking technique of these two:



If Manute were still around, was he skinny enough to pull this off?

Apparently, JJ Redick agrees with you.

Probably why JJ is my favorite NBA analyst.

Most do not want to understand the game on that level. It’s very clear with the types of sports personalities that get the most views

Yea... unfortunately today's world is more concerned with TMZ headlines than intelligible info.

Solid list tbh…I’d flip Kobe for KD and probably replace Shaq, but I’m not exactly sure who I’d replace him with.

Kareem if we’re just ignoring roster fit. KD and Curry are my two guys who would be on any rendition of an all-time starting 5. Their on and off ball ability make them perfect fits everywhere. LeBron and Jordan are just the best players in nba history so I’d want them.

I might just bypass a 5 altogether and add like Larry Bird.

When it comes to all time are they supposed to just be talent? Or a team that could actually play well with each other?

Like Jokic on that team with his passing and ability to hit the 3 would be so much more effective than Shaq just clogging the lane. MJ/Kobe too redundant, swap one for shooting.

Ya it’s always hard because most just pick their top 5 without regard to how they’d play together.

You could argue Magic, Kobe, Jordan, LeBron, Shaq…but everyone of those guys is best with the ball and doesn’t provide spacing. That team would go through major issues trying to figure out how to play with eachother. KD and Curry(and I feel like Bird, though I never really watched him) would fit right in on any team. Throw those 3 with Jokic at the 5 and another movement shooter like Klay and that team absolutely cooks everyone on offense. They might not defend at an elite level, but they will blow the doors off everyone.

OK, good. Earlier I read that he was going to be available for tonight because the NBA wouldn't be able to rule on it in time.
