Really fun article. https://theringer.com/the-nba-hipster-team-championship-belt-2b2362550006#.h78ucigsz
I think we were a Hipster team last year (Misfit Toys style). There's a huge overlap between hipster teams and "watchibility" that Bill Simmons likes to talk about. This year? We're on the edge between Hipster and Actually Good. It'll be interesting!
Yeah that was a good read. There were some fun young teams on that list. I do wonder though if a Thibodeau coached team can be the next one.: Playing style: TBD (Thibodeau Baby Dogs) I think they can be good, but compared to the other teams on the list I am not sure they have enough fun offense to draw fans from other cities. Can a really good young defensive team captivate everyone?
Is "Hipster" being used like "Thug Life" where people use a word meaning "reprehensible" to mean "good?"
The Joel Embiid video at the end is hilarious. A little mean, but funny as fuck. "I mean this trainer was like 5'9", 5'10" and he was all over Embiid. But, he was owning the guy." "Step back jumper, step back, TWO step back jumpers in a row. TWO. Count 'em. Swish. Swish." And there's a revelation. Oh my god, LeBron James is trash!" BNM
