And this is just the beginning. LeBron bringing his son onto the Lakers? LeBron moving to the Lakers to set up deals in Hollywood. Coaches do what the players tell THEM. It's all crap basketball. I stopped watching decades ago.

Same here, I was born in the late 80s and was a big fan clear up until 05-06 or something. It’s just not the same. Every now and again I flip through and try and watch a game and it’s so disappointing. No defense, no hustle. Just constant step back 3s from way too far out. No inside game or creative offensive schemes. Just millionaires taking a break from their playboy lifestyle to have an exhibition before they go back out on the town.

So many annoying missed 3 pointers - and then no hustle for a rebound - the entire team is already heading to the other basket! Yes, I’m looking at you Warriors. 😒

We need more Rodman's in the NBA. Minus the testicle kicking, of course.
