    I hope not. I hate the UFC and their business model. They currently have a turnstile of nameless, faceless fighters and just use "UFC" to sell it. They would rather do that than build up equity in specific fighters like they did early on and use the names of those fighters to sell the product. This is because they aren't interested in sharing the money they make with their talent and enjoy paying them pennies on the dollar. I do not consume UFC because of this. Well, that, and the fact that they are a bunch of jacked up on testosterone wife beating assholes, Dana included.

    Good points.   Basketball has always been a star driven sport so I cant really imagine them trying to marketing teams over the individual players though.   

  2. I've been on board from the start.  I enjoy the W and womens college infinitely more than the mens college game.   I like that both are getting more exposure and yes it doesnt hurt that there are a lot more attractive feminine presenting women than there were previously.

    What we just saw was better basketball than any asg in recent memory. Not sure what Draymond is watching. 

    Fuck Draymond but I will give him a little credit saying for the guys on the losing team from the first game their all-star game is over.   And while I dont think this format will last, the all-star records cant be reached.   Then again they were completely skewed over the last couple yrs when they played absolutely no defense.

    Let’s shit all over the product, Draymond. Nobody hates the NBA product quite like the media paid to cover it. 

    Unfortunately, there is a good segment that likes that coverage that "puts those guys in their place" but I've questioned this for the longest.   No other league has their flagship show constantly trashing their current product.

    They are actually playing defense a bit right now. Even then - if you played the Finals with these rosters it would be like 140 to 135 every game.

    Better than the 188 to 167 bullshit we were starting to get. 

    Agreed, it they just played like this for the 4Q of pervious games it would never have been a problem.   No one expects them to play lockdown D the whole game but they were not playing defense at the beginning of the game and then at the end they stopped even trying to fake like they were going to defend.

    I'm watching on mute and thoroughly enjoying it. 

    This is so much fucking better. Wemby is out there playing his dick off. 

    I think 40 is too low, though. I'd do 60.

    I kind of thought 40 was too low going in.    They score way faster/easier in ASGs.   They could get to 40 in 10 mins.

    Shut the fuck up, Shaq. Tim owned your fat ass.

    I'm truly sick of him, Chuck and Kenny acting like there are no people who watched their careers and lives still alive.

    JFC didnt this shit used to start at like 5 PM right after line ups?

    Shit it used to be like a 3PM tip back in the day.    there is no need for this to be 8:30 start on a Sunday night.

    I fucking hate that untalented, unfunny midget. Can I go one goddamn day without forgetting he exists?

    He and Kenny being treated like they are indispensable part of all star weekend has been one of the worst developments of the last 10 yrs.

    Now he's hating on the Rising Stars team.   If the fucking all-stars came out and actually competed they wouldnt be there.

    Getting more quality/popular players doesn't mean shit to me when I can open up Instagram anytime and watch random dunkers that would wipe their asses with any of them. 

    They should let Jordan Kilganon be a judge so he can just sit at the table and laugh at some of these clowns.

    YEP!!  Been saying this for yrs.   People keep talking about stars getting in but then they also talk about guys doing the same dunks.   Just cause its a star player does that make a regular dunk better?

    Give credit. Kid was fucking nails. Hit every dunk first try and had solid creativity 

    He is great.   He's not a NBA player though.   If they are going to let a guy that has played 3 NBA games in the last 3 yrs continue to do these contests just give a few of the youtube pro dunkers 10 day contracts and put them in the contest.

    I was wondering about this. They make it to where you have to attend college for 4 seasons? Watching Booker last night I'm like... shit... she could play in the W tomorrow. 

    I think you're probably right. Outside of Tennis and Golf it's the only legit women's pro sports league in the US.

    There are a few good women's soccer leagues overseas and I could see whatever the top tier is here gaining steam. 

    I think what will mainly make it more popular is the growing star power of players like CC.

    Yep.  Juju and Hannah Hidalgo from ND are both sophomores and both could go to the W right now and ball out.
