I really see it difficult for LeBron to duplicate last few finals numbers. He had to guard Barnes and iggy. Not really scoring threats. He don't really have that luxury this year to pretty much free roam on D and use most his energy for o.... Warriors in 5.
 
That Lebron **** got me heated. Some people swear up and down all you gotta do is get money and racism don't effect you. **** outta here. "Oh Jay Z, Lebron and Oprah got money racism is a thing of the past". **** outta here.


I can guarantee you it wasn't some old white skin head mfers that did that. It was probably college type dudes who's parents passed that racism down. I can't imagine having a wife and kids coming homing to that. **** sounds like some 1940's ****. But people that don't live in a bubble know ain't much really changed in America since then.


Wonder how long it takes the police to find who did the ****. When **** happens in black neighborhoods they come through and group the whole block together.
 
So playoff television rates are up 4% this year and the NBA set an attendance record for the 3rd year in a row.

I think most wouldn't have expected that for this past season.

^I've been following it since 2011ish, but the NBA's dominance in the social media arena is why I feel strongly about where the NBA is going from a popularity standpoint. The NBA, and it's star driven and flashy product, is tailor-made for Social Media.

Not really. The NBA has lowkey exploded in popularity since I'd say 2011 (Bron Heatles decision) and the league is becoming so big, popular, and flat out relevant, that it can withstand a terrible playoff run as long as Warriors / Cavs are in the finals.

It could be a 4-0 sweep and the finals will still do record breaking numbers

They really should look into making a vine like clone. Give it a catchy name and make embeddable videos and gifs.

They already have tons of short clips on their site that no one watches. Make use of them and market that **** properly.
