The NBA becomes so much more fun to watch when you realize its WWE for an "Urban Audience". Amazing how so many players get "pushed" and others ignored. Ja Morant gets 24/7 coverage while nobody cares that Jokic put up an MVP season. Chauncey Billups ignored as the REAL best PG of the 2000s while Nash and Iverson are loved. Ben Simmons got a masonic handshake from Silver on draft night, but no amount of "pushing" and magnetic rims can save his bum ass. As for your talk about Harden's style of play being despised by the higher ups, it shows the two tiers of great players. Merely great players have the rules changed to make it harder for them (Mikan, Wilt, Barkley, Durant, Harden). The "once in a generation" players have the rules changed to make it easier (Jordan, LeBron, Curry). I'm just here to shitpost because clutchfans is full of characters.
