    Can you imagine if they stopped showing the Rockets playoff game now cause Travis Scott is speeding down the freeway in his Durango?

    If the glove doesn't fit....

    If they didn't show the dumb car chase, the end of society wouldn't have started

    How O.J. Simpson Gave Us the Kardashians
    While Kris Jenner’s ambition and ability to literally produce celebrities accounts for a good deal of the Kardashians’ success, there’s an argument to be made that they couldn’t have done it without O.J. Robert Kardashian immediately understood that the Simpson case had turned him into an unwitting celebrity. In a Los Angeles Times piece that ran after the trial, Kardashian explained that, “I was totally unprepared for the avalanche of reporters, cameras and gawking members of the public that besieged my home and invaded my life. Overnight, I was the subject of hate letters and phone calls at all hours of the day and night. I was threatened; my children were threatened.” He asked, “Why should reporters and photographers camp outside our homes? Why should the personal life of a private citizen be torn apart just to provide one more meaningless detail to feed the mass hysteria?”[​IMG]

    Had no idea the impact that case would have on society.

    Didn't they stop playing western conference finals games too? I swear I remember that you'd have to get PPV to watch the Sonics series. Possibly just road games?

    That was the stupidest shite. WHO CARED? Think we were down double digits. When it came back, it was a close game. I would tell you how the comeback happened, but THERE WAS A STUPID CAR CASE ON!!

    When it came back it was PIP with the car chase in the big picture. Dumbest thing ever. I'm not bitter though.

    I distinctly remember that game because I watched a ******* ugly white Bronco cruise nonchalantly down a nondescript freeway for the better part of an hour. So in other words, I don't remember that game at all. I remember a ******* ugly white Bronco.

    It would have been ok to not show the second half of games 6 and 7 against Golden State.

    Wrong
    This is a social media mad celebrity driven society
    Snapchat stock went down cause a Kardashian didn’t like the new version

    That was the nba finals and New York is headquarters of the NBA

    If Kanye was driving crazy
    Every channel and tmz would cover it

    I blame OJ or the disastrous 2016 season because his spawn was the one who ruined Harden for that season where he was out of shape and unmotivated due to her

    What’s even more amazing is that the 1993 rockets vs Sonics game 3 and game 4 were on a Saturday and a Sunday. They used to have playoff games on back fo backs.

    I had just become old to drive so I turned on the AM dial. The bronco chase had a bit of my attention though. I remember it still being daylight for our game because I was back and forth

    Was living in Saudi Arabia at the time and got up 3am only to watch OJ driving down the freeway. At least it had a happy ending (the series, not the soap opera)
