I know I’m fairly new here but the 1st page entertains me. There are threads that we should trade Dame now, Dame being 1st team, and now Dame according to some lady on ESPN is wasting his time in Portland.
you'll learn soon enough to tune out most of the shit that goes on here. And now for your entertainment, Mr Conway Twitty.
One of the biggest knocks against Damian his whole career is that he plays for a small market team. It seems to me that people are saying that small market teams don't deserve great players. They might as well take their talents to a big market team instead, because then "We'd appreciate them more".
Which i find highly ironic given that we live in a time where you can watch any game any time. Ah, the laziness and brainwashing of the supposed norms of society.
At some point in the last 242 years, we have gone from a nation that loves the underdog to a nation of front running douchebags. I prefer the good old days (The Colonies vs. The British Empire - Go Colonies!!!!). Now instead of rooting for the underdog to rise up and defeat the favorite, everybody jumps from bandwagon to bandwagon. It's much easier to be a fan when "your team" is always winning. Somebody else starts wining more? No problem. Switch teams. In years past, it was the douchebags in Lakers jerseys at the Rose Garden. Now, every front running douchebag shows up at Moda Center in a Steph Curry Warriors jersey. The media perpetuates this mentality. The media loves to a good dynasty. They know that as a nation full of front runners dominant teams will always draw big ratings. So, rather than admire and root for Lillard, they see a 1st team All NBA talent that should jump ship, take the easy route and join a pre-made contender. BNM
And you got the condescending blowhards like Cowherd, who act like we're all idiots for not just jumping from bandwagon to bandwagon.
That is text book misogyny and it's unacceptable. Take a second or too to be more creative in the future. On topic: There's a general theory in sports that if you're not in contention to win the championship, you're wasting your time. If that's the theory that she's basing her statement on, it's understandable. This Blazers team doesn't look anything like a contender.
Did Stockton and Malone waste away in Utah? Did Patrick Ewing waste away in New York? You can have a very good career without winning a title and being in a huge market doesn’t guarantee anything. I don’t get why the media always wants to point out “small markets”, or act like guys are wasting there time in certain cities.
Idk, there's something said to be tanking and ending up with a few players you can build around. It certainly makes the off-season more interesting.
It does but the seasons aren’t very fun most of the time, especially when you realize you tanked for guys who aren’t very good.
