    If all the talking heads forgot the Rockets existed, there would be about 15% fewer pointless threads in the GARM. Probably.

    I think that’d be a good thing :p

    Why does one give this person an audience? I personally have NEVER been impressed or understood his relevance. He like most of his colleagues just need to go away. To answer the OP nothing because he doesn’t matter either way.

    he makes $10 million dollars a year, he gets a massive audience and he has a massive fanbase here

    The reason for this is that it's simple, it's the look at me i'm a hot girl narrative

    1. the fanbase wants love, attention and recognition especially on media such as TV and Internet, they are the girl
    2. stephen a talks about the girl but falls short of saying she's hot and she's the one
    3. no #2 will never happen. and it has never happened even if the Rockets won championships, as you can see he clearly has no love for the team that beat his favorite team, the Knicks

    Where would we go to the get the hot sweaty pulse of what's really going on with the Rockets, then? I would slip into an extreme dissociated state from which I would never recover. CF would drop off the face of the earth, as there would be nothing REAL to post about anymore. As the saying goes, that's why they play the games -- so we can talk about what Stephen A. has to say afterwards.

    90% of what these people say about the team I find out about on here because of some posted thread...I used to watch the videos that would get posted, but rarely do now after the 16-17 season...I just read the posts in the thread, call Max Kellerman stupid, trash any Harden haters or clueless fans who might’ve posted nonsense, and then keep it moving

    many threads that post what somebody knowledgeable had to say don’t get much attention

    I don’t blame Max or Stephen A
    If my job is a tv analyst
    And I get to have some script that lets me increase viewership which makes me rich then I’ll do it

    and all these people who are talking about Kenny and Charles and max and cowherd ..

    there’s one thing in common
    They all are millionaires because they are good at drawing viewership

    The only people who are paid to choose winners and losers are Vegas oddsmakers

    Honestly I wouldn't lose any sleep over never hearing that guy on any topic ever again.
