The media being able to vote and being the deciding factor on a players max is the problem.
Jackass media members vote for dudes like Jalen Duran over KAT for all nba and now you wonder why the team don’t wanna pay him.
Yall pretty basic for calling yourself the illuminati
thank you for your consideration.
Stop normalizing *srael and panic everyone someone brings up P*lest*ne. And the amount of time you guys spend aspiring to be rich and glorify wealth disparity sickens me. 150 million made off of making people homeless via hedge funds purchasing starter homes for a third of their going price. Be better guys, times are changing, we are not stupid, your silence on your platform is noted and will be remembered as picking a side. It’s complicity in silence
Since someone won an award for sitting there and receiving journalism from Pablo Torre.. this show has become a pretty rough listen.. hope that changes with time.
Fun different view on the NBA. No one cares about the 65 game rule except the egomaniacal journalists with a vote. Regular people want players to play 65 games minimum. Stop talking about it
