Good point. It's his job.
That said, the NBA is a bad product right now.
It was not the case when Bird and Magic were playing. Then Jordan.
I am a Celtics fan, and have been for my entire life.
The crew playing for them now is perhaps the best “team” they have had in 40 years. There isn’t a lot of drama. They certainly have adopted the Red Auerbach ethos of winning over individual performance. They seem to be having “fun” which is not something you see a lot of. They also seem to like each other.
And their coach (Mazzula) is kind of an odd ball. Which is fun.
The drama on and off the court for the league in whole is tedious.
But I understand how people are tired of it all. Lots of money and not a lot of “joy.” And the black culture part of it is not something I can relate to a lot.
I haven’t seen anyone “kneel” in the league for a couple of years.
