This whole "face of the league" title is so soft. Once it became clear that Jokic was the BEST player, all of a sudden media started talking about this as a way to side step him, notice that he's never mentioned in these talks

I never remember "face of the league" as a term in prior eras.

The whole thing is advertising demands in disguise. Behind closed doors advertisers are pressuring the NBA to create a new "face of the league" cause the old guard (who were proven product movers) are aging out and advertisers want something solid if they're gonna buy advertisement long term. That's literally all it us. A bunch of advertising executives forcing the league to create a cash cow and this is the leagues very, very stupid way of going about it.

Ignore anything that has roots in an advertisers office. It'll always be fake, generic and cringe worthy. That's why Ant was like "naw". Ain't nobody tryin to play the puppet like that.
From a fundamental standpoint it is better for a man to have nothing but be under the protection of Jesus Christ than for him to have everything he could ever want yet be completely without.

Thats because it wasn't. But the NBA never really had this problem before
