What kind of a question is this? Championships all day, every day baby. That's how you earn respect from the media
First of all you can't compare the Media in the 90s to the media in 2017. Second of all: it's human nature that you want to get recognition if you do something very well. And i don't even want to convince you that you should think like me - i just want you to tolerate it, if I do care about the media and the recognition because theres nothing wrong with that. Despite the fact that i do care about recognition the first goal is still the ship, but what's wrong with wanting both`?
The media is different yes. Hakeem never got the same recognition in the media as well as pop culture as Harden. He never went out with social media hoes. Never hung out with rappers with auto tune.. sounds boring right? 2 Finals MVP, MVP, DPOY The game recognized him, the game did not the media, the game
The hate is okay if it accompanies TWO championships every 20 years. Rockets were overdue before Clutch City. And they're overdue now.
@tinman serious question, why do you like TNT so much? I think kenny smith doesnt like the rockets because we didnt hire him as our coach in 2016 and chuck doesnt like the rockets because les didnt pay him.
I asked Pops the other day, he said he'd trade all the trophies AND any future gold medals for more media coverage.
I'm actually glad we are not high up on the media radar. Just look at the Thunder. Every time they lose, it feels like the aftermath of game 7. George and Melo have to stand there in the locker room and lie through their teeth not to rat out Westbrook's failures.
Are you completely ignorant? Those non-championship accolades that Dream got was voted on by WHO? THE ******* MEDIA FOOL. And if you don't think winning the MVP was important or meant something to Dream then you're completely wrong. Also look how he took it when David Robinson won it the following season..... He even said he felt that was his trophy and he put it on him to make a point in the offs.
Using media voted awards to try and prove why the media opinion doesn't matter was a weird move for sure
Cause it's way better than every other show. It's actually authentic. I've actually seen it live. Kenny is the only analyst who mentions Clutch City (the championships) all the time. Obvious reasons. Yes and Charles does watch the Rockets game, I was there when he was watching the game on the set They aren't paid by the Rockets like Drexler, nobody would watch any national show if there was a Houston homer who never says anything that's safe like him.
I'm completely right. Dream was mad because Robinson didn't mention Dream when he was talking about former MVPs. Dream never cared about NBC cause back in the 90s we didn't have the NBA nationally on multiple channels Did he care what Bob Costas had to say? Hell no.
