Another slap in the face to the fans, although somewhat appropriate


I find it AMAZING we now are going to games to watch refs vs the players.

I find it AMAZING that hardly nobody was watching what was AMAZING in the NBA Finals the last 6-7yrs.

I find it AMAZING while the AMAZING HAPPENS on the court we missed it because the camera was locked on Eva Longaria, Jack Nicholson, Spike Lee, Billy Crystal, etc etc etc.

I find it AMAZING when a player rejects a 3yr $21mil contract because he has to feed his family

I find it AMAZING when the most talented player in the nba rapes a run of the mill teenager in a hotel, when he's married to a woman who's one of the more attractive women you'll ever see in your lifetime.

I find it AMAZING when players egos are so huge they attempt to hold teams hostage with trade demands and crap on their own team/teammates in the press while doing so.

I find it AMAZING when players take altercations on the court into the stands and throw Haymakers on the common fan/innocent bystandards.

I find it AMAZING when players have reservations about playing in the All-Star game or participating in any other weekend festivities because they are more concerned about a minor bruise on their baby toe than entertaining the fans that voted them there or honoring the request to participate in such events

I find it AMAZING when a coach tells a player not to go in the paint because he sent one of his henchmen in to do damage to these athletes that do AMAZING things

I find it AMAZING when you have players more dedicated to making Rap Albums and Selling Shoes during an NBA season vs actually committing themselves to playing basketball.

I find it AMAZING when you have players getting into strip club fights and going John Wayne amidst civilians trying to enjoy themselves out on the town.


I find it AMAZING that the NBA keeps moving away from this slogan and that's "THE NBA IT'S FANTASTIC".



Stern keep reminding us that we don't matter and your agenda driven marketing campaign does. Honestly has the NBA been anymore AMAZING post Jordan Era?

I find it AMAZING that one NBA franchise can spend over $100MM and still not make the play offs, or show any hope it ever will!

Trueblue - you need a hug bro? You waste the biggest opportunity to bust out the most juvenille, crude, and homo erotic jokes this year on a hate filled spin on the word "amazing"? You need to get your priorities straight.
