The Playoffs are starting and nobody gives a shit

 


The NBA playoffs are starting to the immense disinterest of most of the fans in America. After their descent into hating America and celebrating Black Lives Matter the NBA has lost more than half of it's viewership. From being apologists for China's slave trade to calling for cops to be murdered like Lebron did they have lost a huge portion of their former fans.

As you might know I used to be a big basketball fan. I bought season tickets to the Knicks when Patrick Ewing was drafted by the Knicks. I spent many years going to two to four games a week. It was a lot of money and a lot of commitment. Now I wouldn't go if you paid me. Like football and now even baseball they have lost me forever. I just hope that they lose their TV deals and take a financial hit. I don't know if that will happen since the TV executives are as woke as anyone but can they justify it to their shareholders?

What the NBA has lost.



I was a New York Knicks fan for forty five years. I had season tickets for twenty. Spent thousands every year for two tickets. Had them through the entire Patrick Ewing Era. Got them when we drafted him. Got rid of them two years after he was gone.

I gradually drifted away from the game. The game I was obsessed with as a kid. The game I used to live for playing pick up games all summer long in Carroll Park or down near Fort Hamilton. Some seasons I haven't seen even one game. Once they started bringing in entitled losers like Carmelo Anthony they lost me.

Now the NBA is showing how far they have  fallen when they kowtow to China about the Hong Kong bullshit. They put a muzzle on their coaches and players so as not to upset their rice bowl. Bigmouths like Steve Kerr and Popovich from the Spurs who never miss a step in denouncing my President have nothing to say. Assholes like LeBron James who have no problem dissing the flag and the police are silent when the commies attack and murder protestors. It shows what complete and utter pieces of shit they are.

All I have left is the good memories of players like Anthony Mason who came out of the minor leagues to star and stymie people like Michael Jordan. His hard nose violent play was my style. Unfortunately he is dead. Just like the NBA is too me. Dead. Dead as Anthony Mason.

"Basketball: Stephen Curry hits 400 threes..."


Stephen Curry just keeps taking his shooting brilliance to new heights. The Golden State Warriors guard became the first player in NBA history to hit 400 three-pointers in a single season during the team's season finale against the Memphis Grizzlies on Wednesday night.
Curry needed eight threes against Memphis to set the record and hit 10 in the game. For most players, this would've been a nearly impossible task, but Steph isn't like other players. His unmatched three-point total this season makes that quite clear. No other player in league history has hit even 300 threes in a single season.
