Around The NBA

[TheStig]

if they did that the price would go way up. In my cord cutting adventures i have found that live sports makes up a huge part of the price for subscriptions.

If I could buy NFL Sunday ticket and NBA league pass and nothing else, I would drop youtube TV entirely. I keep it just because it's the cheapest effective way to get all the sports I want, and I share it with three other guys.

However, I don't need anything else on TV. The cable companies know this, their costs are mostly made up of putting on the live sports too. Of your subscription fee to cable, ESPN is like 25% of the cost for the provider. All those other crap channels they throw in because they're like 50 cents a month each.

I cut the cord because like you, I just want the NBA games really. NFL is available over the area most of the time. It just wasn't worth it and if there was a really good game on, I could find a stream for it. Everything else is downloadable pretty easily. It just wasn't worth the hundreds of dollars a year.

This is the first time I've seen this video and I know it was in Chicago but it was kinda cool hearing Lebron saying Jordan is the GOAT.

Lebron has always been gracious about this kind of stuff IMO.

I remember that season Rose won MVP, although by all statistical measure Lebron was better, when Lebron was asked who the real MVP was he said he would have voted for Derrick.

People can hate him on the court, but it's hard to fault Lebron the person IMO.

Most of the hate that LeBron gets is due to "The Decision" and how he seems to always want to control his situation.
Fans are used to players being loyal to teams and not questioning things even when the fans are the primary driving force for stars wanting to silence critics and cement their legacies.

That was cool of him giving Rose kudos. Stats isn't the exclusive measure of the MVP though, but about who is the best player on their team while having career high or top 10 numbers where if that player is gone, the team will have a huge drop off from being a top team IMO. Lebron still had Wade and Bosh to keep that team running the east.

As a person, Lebron has his shaky moments too. The China situation, him throwing himself into the Curry vs Trump issue when it wasn't about him, Klutch Sports being an entity he may have his hands in despite being a player, and him hooking up certain players and individuals in the media to be apologists and gatekeepers for his image are some things people also criticize him about off the court. The point is no one will be perfect or be liked by everyone.

He might say it publicly but i dont feel that is his honest feelings. On his hbo show he called himself the goat not too long before the all star game.

When does FA begin? I saw that the original start date was October 18, but I just saw something that suggest that a player or two might have already signed. No names or terms, just speculation. So, I was wondering when is FA?

My guess is, its some time after the draft. Its going to be a real intense period in November since training camp can start Dec 1.

Since the Draft is Nov 18, its going to be crazy after that.

I think I saw somewhere that they do free agency before the draft this year. But I don't remember where I read it.

I heard on the Lowe post that FA will start on the 22nd, just 4 days after the draft. That's just a few weeks away and the cap hasn't even been set yet. It's gonna be a crazy offseason.

TY both. I was wondering if they had set an official date and I simply missed it.

I kind of agree. On one hand, I appreciate what Lebron has done with some of the schools and support and such. However, a lot of things to me come off as only about Lebron. The decision, superteaming everywhere but mainly taking credit, blaming when others fall short, how winning with Heat is Easy, etc... This said, I'm not going to argue what peeps think about Lebron as a person. Jordan was not a great person by all means, but I don't care about that. I watch basketball to appreciate greatness in that spectrum, not off the record. To each their own.

I can't wait for LeBron to retire so I don't have to read about him in every single thread about any single subject.

I think I read 18th for draft and 22nd for f.a.
So that sounds right

I had to weed through several links to find it, lots of old info out there that should be deleted or updated.

It'll just be "X is the next LeBron"

Which is probably Luka. We'll see how it goes.

He already cries to the refs like lebron so good call.

Let's see if he can hijack every FO he deals with, change teams when he screws up the roster and then build a business connection that allows him to tamper without the league saying even a pip about it.
