So, will it be televised in the US or do I have to find a stream? I wanna see Harden/Johnson dunk on some fools!
He's not a Lin fan or a Lakers fan. He's a troll pretending to be one. Please stop responding to them as it just makes us look silly to get angry at something so stupid.
Well actually I'm not a Lin fan per se - with respect to his basketball skills - overrated. With respect to his basketball business skills - ranks up there with Melo, Bosh, Kobe. Lakers picked him up NOT for his ability to run the floor, rather for his ability to sell just as much merchandise as Kobe does in LA plus more. Lin made a small opportunistic spark into a 100M+ windfall (salary plus current and future endorsements) - dude is set for life. RESPECT! Houston lost its most internationally marketable player and most nationally marketable player in the off-season...Morey's getting his ass kicked by the Rockets owners, believe you me.
Harden and company had an epic fail event in our country..Filipinos paid so much to watch a practice..haha boo to the organizers..
Shh! He's made a compelling argument. Dude has Morey's job in the bag! He's just awaiting Les' personal call of congrats

I thought the NBA wanted to promote its game here in the Philippines? Angry fans started booing and hooting at the players and organizers after it was announced at the venue that there will be no game but drills between the national team and the NBA players. At the venue, after the player introductions for both sides. Embarrassing. Epic fail for the organizers. You can't treat the Filipino basketball fan like that and get away with it. Fans demanded refunds plus damages.
They had problem recognising Kobe as the best sg back then. Dude was more like a king every time he went.
The main difference I noticed was, there were no girls. You can bet most of them would have be girls if Parsons was there too.
hahaha.. glad we didn't make the trip.. so sad for those courtside ticket holders.. these people paid a lot of money to watch NBA players do lay up drills lmao i heard they are offering refunds though
That only accounts for a very small percentage of all merchandising sales. The vast majority of every teams sales are online nowadays.
