Don't act like the rest of us didn't call out Timberlake's delusions.
My favorite was the attendance stat, where he forgot to mention that baseball stadiums hold like 20-30 thousand more people. No shit that will be higher.
JT was not the only one calling the Spurs the Monstars. We all were in awe for a time.
And they play twice as many games in MLB, don't forget that.
Do you not understand how capitalism works? The size of sports stadiums is determined by supply and demand, there is no "must be this big" rule. If only 17,000 people attended the average baseball game, ballparks would be 17-20k. Ballparks are smaller in some places, like the minor leagues where attendance is 5-7k on average. By the way that (International League, Pacific Coast League, Texas League, Eastern League, Mexico) is about the same as the average attendance for the top level basketball (and hockey) leagues in the rest of the world (Spain, Philippines, Euroleague, half a dozen hockey leagues)... but that's only because those stadiums only hold 6k right, if they built 60k basketball arenas surely they would be filled to capacity according to your logic.
Why are you still going on? What is there to gain by continuing to derail this thread?
Another question, how many NBA posters went to the MLB thread to spout off like you?
Last time I got involved with Cloving's reindeer games over in gaming, I got banned. Never again. I'll let the cesspool just be my news source.
Nobody ever questioned how much money baseball made. I questioned how can people stand to watch such a slow paced, unexciting, unathletic "sport" without ripping their eyeballs out.
I'm responding to his comment.
I'm responding here because it was made here.
For two pages people were bashing the NHL as an unpopular league that almost no one cares about. You said it was down there with baseball. The fact is baseball is far bigger by almost every metric, and the NBA is far closer to the NHL than it is to MLB.
I've honestly always been perplexed at how baseball made money. Usually I see a whole lot of empty seats in that stands, and at least in Tampa, the Rays would virtually pay you to watch them play.
There comes a moment when you say, "Oh, shit, we're all in trouble now," and then you hold on for the ride.

I like how he doesn't mention WB's dominating performance at all
baseball is great.nhl and football are the most boring sports ever.
Cloving got banned? What happened?
He was mentioning things they need to change. That's something they have to pray to every available deity to keep the same.I like how he doesn't mention WB's dominating performance at all
calling it now, OKC is going to come back.
and jabari wont go on a mission
You're responding to an off topic comment made because of your off topic rant that was removed by you for good reason, it was completely your doing and you're continuing to do it. No xbhasharx, no MLB talk in the NBA thread.
It's pretty clear that you're doing exactly what has been asked not to be done directly from a moderator.
If you wanna talk baseball, there's a thread for that. Don't make everyone else have to suffer the loss of this thread.
Tampa Bay averages almost 20k per game. That's 28th among MLB teams, but it would be #5 in the NBA, only a dozen or so per game below... the Miami Heat. 81 home games vs 41.
Do you only watch the top / most popular NBA teams? Because there are plenty of half empty arenas. Turn on a Hawks, Hornets, Bobcats, Bucks, Kings, Pistons, Pacers, or Nets home game sometime when they're not playing the Lakers, Heat, Celtics, Thunder, Knicks, or Bulls.
calling it now, OKC is going to come back.
But I thought the Spurs were playing? Didn't you say they were winning it all and that you were always right?
I am convinced the Heat are losing games 5 and 6 but will win game 7 because the basketball gods want to fuck with us one last time
Anything for more basketball at this point. What the hell am I gonna do without any sports to watch.

You should watch baseball. Everybody's doing it.
Those are only people who only have boring personalities.
The Thunder are a great collection of talent, no doubt. But they're not a great team.

They're too cool to represent their country.

This season has been brutal.
Wade/Bosh have recent injuries and LBJ is running on fumes already. They already won the gold before, its not that big a deal.
