Same here. They are so self absorbed, they think we are all on edge wondering what they care and don’t care about. Nauseating ....

>>>I didn’t watch one game or one highlight. Pro athletes and celebrities are a thing of the past. Nobody cares anymore.>>>>

Thanks because we were all wondering if you watched a game and we all wake up daily wondering if you care about things or not.......

May the NBA disappear into the dustbin of history.

My buddy had tickets for a Celtics_Timbervolves game last Fall. Never again. The pathetic fake foul injuries and the lousy 3 point shooting soured me on the NBA forever. I will only go to high school games from now on.

Nobody cares. Yawn.

You can't speak for the world because you don't care.

I don't care about you not caring. Yawn.

Cuban no longer owns the team.

Wow, I did not even know the finals were played, or who was in them.

Cuban turned a profit of $3,125,000,000 on an investment of $285,000,000 in 2000 PLUS he still owns 27% of the team.

I hate the Celtics, but hated them even more after referee Ritchie Powers stole game 6 of the 1976 series vs. the Suns. Game was tied with few seconds on the clock and a Celtics player signaled Time Out right in front of Ritchie Powers’ eyes. He couldn’t miss it.

The problem was, the Celts has NO MORE time outs, and that was a technical foul. Suns hit it, the Celtics missed their last shot, Suns win and go home for game 6 where they had won 2 straight home games. But Powers conveniently.

I admire a fan who can keep a grievance alive for decades!

I was present in the Orange Bowl to witness the infamous Gator Flop and hated UF for decades myself. I had to let it go when two of my sons went to Gainesville, which worked out well as they went on to national championship during the boys’ studies there.

You make your own luck, and my hat is off to organizations such as the New England Patriots, LA Lakers, Boston Celtics, who can decade after decade be competitive.

The outlier here is the Yankees, who seem to have had trouble since the mid 20-teens.

But it is a puzzle: Miami makes a trade for LeBrewski and Bosh and wins a champtionship. Phoenix gets Maurice Lucas (nothing), Charles Barkley (two games short), and now Durant (dud).

Seems like there’s a lack of personality among all stars in the NBA. I know they’re there to make $$$ but they could pretend to care about their fans a little bit.
