    LOL. Right.

    This thread has failed. Or maybe it's just broken?

    You're making up the narrative that they mean the same thing when they don't.

    I think people are just frustrated to see players make so much money. Remember that the NBA viewership is the whole planet, not just the USA.
    I listed to talk radio. This whole summer, it has been all NBA. Nobody even knows if the MLB is playing. NFL training camp has started, and the conversation on ESPN/FS1 or even local sport is: Kyrie, LeBron, Steph, KD, LaVar Ball, ... etc.
    You check out youtube channels, NBA stories gets the most clicks.
    LeBron reign will soon be over. People would like to know, who the next king of the NBA will be.
    NBA Franchises selling for 1.5+billion (bought at 85millions 20 years ago) and there are buyers from the whole world lined up to pay that money.
    The most recent NBA draft was the best in a generation with talent after talent after talent ...
    Seriously, what are people talking about?
    Maybe the pace of growth won't continue, but the NBA will continue to grow.

    I think the NBAs reached its height, and won't continue to grow much after this. I think the TV contract will scale back somewhat, as I think some fans will get tired of the superstar pandering, and not tune in as much as right now. That's the premise

    I'm interested to see if the NBA ever comes up with a way to integrate a team in London and whatnot.
    I think that's a way the NBA could grow.

    Would be dumb to only put one team overseas. Would probably need to be 5 teams to expand the league to 40, So they could have their own division and 20 teams in each conference. One team only would get absolutely fucked by travel.

    I don't think the NBA will be too worried about the West coast teams when/if they expand to the EU.

    However it's undoubtable if the NBA figures a way to realistically make it work pending travel & competitiveness they'd generate quite a bit of additional revenue.

    Who knows maybe they'll expand into Japan too.

    Funny thing is I called you son in Spanish in a couple previous posts and you didn't notice. What are you going to do.....ask me in a mean way now? Send me a private message? You obviously didn't read the new employee handbook when you got hired for you new fancy job. I run this bitch son. I've seen kids like you come stumbling in here from other sites with all your hoop knowledge and swagger......only to crash down to reality after testing me. You may not know this, but I get a god damned check from the NBA and S2 personally to post here and direct traffic here. You can ask me "nicely" all day, but that shit don't work in these parts. Now why don't you go start another thread about a topic that is purely speculation and post no facts whatsoever to back your self up and get heated when people question you.........Mijo

    You don't run shit motherfucker. You talk a lot of shit, brag about your career, and act like a complete asshole on this board. If I told you the real reason why I don't like being called that you'd back the fuck up. I haven't got heated at all until you started talking shit. You try and bully people around on here then sit back and brag about yourself as if you're the most important human being to walk the earth.

    It's my opinion, that you don't share. Doesn't mean I know more or less than you. I don't know why you're calling me out on my opinion, because who the fuck cares? I didn't test you, as you asked for my opinion because you were "interested"... I gave it, and then you started talking shit, instead of having a conversation about it. You are the cockiest person on this forum. GTFO.

    Yeah, but NY is close to the farthest Portland had to travel while it would be the shortest distance London had to travel. It'd be like multiplying our travel by 5.

    Thought this was going to be a Skip Bayless sound bite judging from the title of the thread.

    Read the smoking gun interview of Kobe. She told him not to nut on her face and he did it anyway. That's the only thing that wasn't consensual.

    The only thing you "run" is a lawnmower for other people who are better at life than you.
