Orlando and Indiana have been to the NBA Finals in recent memory, whereas Chicago and NY haven't.Originally Posted by sensaciondelbloque
agreed.
teams like Milwaukee, Minnesota, Orlando, Indiana will never win anything..they are not as glamorous as Chicago, NY and etc. those teams will get a superstar for his first contract and then beg to be with big markets...all the NBA teams are farm league teams for Knicks, Nets, Lakers, Bulls and etc. NBA popularity might take a hit.

In fact both Orlando and Indy have been consistently better over the past 10 years than either of those teams....and the NBA is a farm league for the Nets? you must not have been watching latelyOriginally Posted by Ricardo Malta

Your reasoning is null and void.
Was hesitant to even read when you said since '02, but I said f it and went it. Couldn't make it past "happy camper." You're not a fan if your team won and you're not happy. If you watched basketball before '02 or listened to anyone who has, you would know most great teams had multiple stars.The teams that draw the stars (by whatever means necessary), are the teams that have them and a legit chance at winning. With the addition of free agency (well before you started watching), the billion people on facebook and twitter, and the idiots at ESPN, it just seems that things are different. BREAKING NEWS: Things are not different, just more public.Originally Posted by allreds
I've been keeping up with this sport since 2002. Now with all this trading going on and these rigged #@$ draft picks, ie. New Orleans bagging Anthony Davis, I really can't stand it anymore. Also all of these veterans like Jason Kidd going to the Knicks, I'm happy for him and all, but it just doesn't seem right to see him in a Knicks uniform. I'm a Lakers fan too and aquiring Nash is good I guess, but he was our enemy in the past. If we do actually take a chip this season I won't be a happy camper. I just wish we had the same squad from beginning til death. How can you still be a Lakers fan if about 40-50% of the squad has changed? And all of these super teams forming is not helping the Kings or Bobcats one bit. I know this is a business but still. Kobe fan by the way. End of rant. Cool story bro.
What the hell are you talking about? It's not like he hasn't won since '02 and is a scrub. He won a few years ago. He was the NBA's second leading scorer and 1st team all NBA. I'm assuming you're a Heat fan based on avy. Let's be honest, were you a Heat fan in '04 or '05.....hell, were you one in '09. Sorry bruh, if you're honest and the answer is no, that's worse than dude saying "since 2002."Originally Posted by MetroKid26

If you were watching the sport since 2002 (the year the Lakers won the championship and had 2 of the most controversial playoff series ever, however swept the Nets) and your a Kobe fan, that must mean you were watching him for the past few years now.
but tell me, is it that you can't stand the free agents optimizing their chances of winning, or you can't stand the fact that the best post season move the Lakers pulled was bringing in 38 year old Steve Nash?
I bet you weren't complaining when the Lakers got Pau Gasol for Kwame Brown.
I bet you weren't complaining when the Lakers got Ramon Sessions for Luke Walton.
Sounds like you miss the days Kobe was putting up 60 points to win games by 10, and now he finally has competition, and he can't deal with that.
Kobe fans need to stop.

i agree the super teams are bad for the league... i know knicks are guilty for this but they haven't had a good team in a decade so they have an excuse... but seriously the super teams are a bad look and it started with lebron... there was super teams back in the day in the 80 and 90s with magic lakers, birds celtics and jordans bulls team and even teams now also but those teams were formed legit through the front office...some of it was trades or through free agency but the super teams were home grown players for the most part... some are the exception like kobe n shaq team...now its like players are going out of their way to join forces instead of compete against each other...rarely will you see players stay on the same team like you did in years past
