It seems like MLK Day has lost its purpose in the NBA. I remember when Memphis use to be the main showcase on MLK Day and now its turning into another way for the NBA to show the bigger markets. The only teams that should be featured at home during primetime hours for MLK Day is Memphis and Atlanta. Obviously, MLK's legacy is on full display in both of these cities. I just think its kinda silly to put Memphis on NBATV and most people will not be able to see the halftime and some of the important things about the actually day itself.
They put Memphis on NBATV, the Miami/ATL game not even on TV. I guess its all about the money and less about the legacy.
Agreed, I really thought when the schedule came out that Memphis and Atlanta would get the TNT games. Especially with Miami being in Atlanta very shocking....
