So basically him playing the way you want does nothing for him, it's about what you think the fans want to see.... Got it....
I don't think the reason the fans are not turning up is because of 3s though. But that is a story for another day....

He doesn't have to play how I or other fans want him to play same way fans also do not have to watch. Why are fans not watching? We are telling you why. You're arguing with us again. O ga ju

Load management
3pt spamming
Lack of physicality

96 3s between Celtics and Timberwolves the other day. Sorry but that is not enjoyable basketball for anybody. They're free to keep playing that way but asking fans not to complain about it is crazy.

Load management and 3pt spamming are the two biggest reasons fans are not watching. If you like argue with the customer. That one na your right. Customer right is not to watch

Make me understand this analysis.
Wenbanyama is easily the best defender in the NBA right now. He leads the NBA in Blocks per game. Plus he is averaging 26points per game in just his second season. And would likely finish top 5 in MVP voting.
He also has a FG% of 46%. How would him playing under the basket improve anything. Asides your personal biases, how does that help him in anyway, seeing as he is doing so well already with his preferred style of play?

He's 7'5. If he's not leading the league in blocks I wonder who would

Do I think he deserves to be top 5 in the MVP list? Probably not but I don't care, it's a popularity contest.

However I'm telling you that this playing style plays a huge role in why fans are tuning out the sport. Wemby at his size should not be taking more 3s than prime Klay Thompson did. Fans do not want to see that shit. What fans want to see is balance, some post moves, not a 3pt shuckin contest.

You can call it my personal bias but this is just one of many reasons why other fans are not watching so clearly I'm not alone. I'm not piling on Wemby but he definitely is a poster child of what we are talking about.

Keke mentioned it on the podcast that there are really no bad music per se, with enough promotion a song u think is wack may turn out to be fan's favorite.

That's what record labels are for, once they are down with u they will shove Ur music down people's throat to the extent that they start singing Ur song while in the bathroom.

That's why u will see the so called music/hip hop heads will rate an album 4.5/10 after listening and review ; yet the same song will become fan's favorite and will top chats for weeks. The promotion records label do is what makes that possible.

Don Jazzy for example will push down whatever his artistes release through massive promotion even if the song no get any meaning

Nigeria music game is extremely capital intensive, shooting, airing and replaying these videos to people's consciousness costs money

I side with the artistes is when they're unable to take care of their basics. If you're a label boss and your artiste you're making money from is homeless or crazy stuff like that then that's a bit problematic or if your boss is Diddy

BlueRayDick:
The man na jack of all trades.

He will produce a movie, sing the theme song for the movie, he will act on the movie, he will market the movie and will still be the one to do the advert jingle for the same movie 😂.

It was the controversy following the death of Gbenga Adeboye and allegations against him concerning Gbenga Adeboye's Widow that affacted his career in the entertainment industry.

Na real one man MOPOL. Nigeria version of Master P.

I don't believe Nigeria has had an entertainment marketer quite like him. Even as a kid I was marveled at how dynamic he was

Wait. This is quite the Gbenga on Gbenga crime

They said he had a hand in Adeboye's death or that he was doing the hibbidy dibbidy with Adeboye's wife? While he was alive?

BlueRayDick:
Bayowa Don dey Canada since na.

Bayowa is married to one of Rasaq Okoya(Eleganza)'s daughters.

Abajo. Sharp man.

All those him films I wonder if he ever digitized them. Dude was a marketing genius

Na men contribute mostly na women dey revise mummy zee , you want her to stay humble for wetin, she send una work?

Babes still dey jealous this girl since last year

Everytime she tweets some random person (mostly women) will chat about how they crowd funded her so she's supposed to never have an opinion on anything again

na - happens all the time oo

you can be over extended and in a bad place. or get the short end of a business cycle

that is where friends and family come in

microsoft literally bailed out apple in the 90s/00s
obama admin gave tesla a loan

e dey happen - you just won't hear of it.

I understand this but this is also a very critical lesson for man make e dey frugal. And don't let yourself be shamed for it.

If this kin thing had gone public you can imagine the snickering and laugh from enemies

Raumdeuter you see ya sef?

For Keke to get money issues. Omo Nigeria na just somehow place men. There's this other guy too Gbenga Adewusi (Bayowa Films) I wonder where he is these days.

Any other country and these guys would be lifetime moguls

TrebleChamp:
Demonic ideology at play, Saudi Arabia that is regarded the birth place of Islam sef no carry Islam for head like our poor Northerners...

They're pivoting away. They and UAE are pivoting from Wahabbism meanwhile yobs from Northern Nigeria and Godforsakistan would be crying everytime Mo Salah posts a Christmas tree photo

raumdeuter:
You know me, As a capitalist I will be on the side of Kenny Ogungbe on this

This is a business. And Kenny's music invested a lot in lets say 10 artistes. Maybe na only 3 go blow. Shey na until Kenny go broke ni?

One thing Kenny kept repeating is artistes read your contract, take it to lawyer

On a similar note. I heard Asake and Olamide are falling out due to contractual issues. I am a fan of both. I remembered when Yemolee was speaking and said Olamide gave Asake contract to review in a week and return, Asake returned it in a few hours because the opportunity to work with Olamide was too big in his eyes that he was ready to sign his life away just to enter studio with Olamide

He claimed Asake said something like Olamide Badoo, I fit sign 10yrs give you. Now think about it, If in 2024, Asake is now saying Olamide took advantage of him. Who is to blame? The person wey give you contract or you wey sign

There are thousands of Asake on the streets of Nigeria waiting for opportunities the likes of Kennis music will give them

Nigeria competitive die. If na artiste wey dey country wey no too get stars I understand. All them Uganda, Tanzania, Ghana but Nigeria? Wey artiste dey unblow return back to up and coming.

Where all them Lil Kesh, Reekado Banks today? A lot of artistes have this strong misconception that their talent is the only thing that is required. No. There's a huge machinery behind you that makes you successful.

If you can find another sponsor to buyout your contract fine or else you see it through. Nobody come Lagos to count bridge

Just watched the video,not burnas boy biggest fan but I back for this I'm sorry, somebody charging at you will send your heart rate flying,make una learn to behave.

I support Burna boy 1000% anybody charging at you like that is a potential threat. It's a free show. Nobody knows who's who. So many mad people in this world I'm not taking no chances.

That's how them kpai Drakeo the ruler backstage

I the President of the World Anti 3pt spammers association have been greatly vindicated.

A complaint I and some of us have been making for almost 3 seasons now has finally gone mainstream.

Who caught Barkley brutally roasting JJ Redick.

These guys are a natural treasure I tell you. JJ thinks we're stupid and NPCs he wants these guys to see piss and call it rain.

Wemby was supposed to be the unicorn. Turns out he's just 7'4 Trae Young. This dude is spamming more 3s than prime Klay Thompson. This is what Inside NBA is supposed to promote? GTFOH

And what happened to the Suns. 2 games under. 500 is nasty

Nobody wan gree say football don dip. If you talk they will say you're nostalgia merchant.

Make Dominic Solanke and Darwin Nunez be top 9 for team

Spain has gone from Raul, Villa to Morata

Italy from Baggio, Vieri, Inzaghi to Belloxxi

Germany from Muller, Voller, Klinsmann, Bierhoff, Klose to Fullkrug

Something is definitely wrong somewhere and my game watching time has reduced for a couple of seasons now

Wahala for who say dem go show Airmark pepper. Na your body go tell you.

Airmark is indestructible. Ask Raumdeuter and A40 who have been trying for 10 years

In school I beat one stronghead JSS1 boy from an interior village. The guy kept coming back crying and shouting YOU GO KILL ME TODAY. So I continued beating him, and he kept coming back shouting YOU GO KILL ME TODAY till he started hyperventilating and breathing loudly sounding like someone about to die of thirst. So I beat him to the nearest tap and forced him to drink water, make he no die for my hand. And still he kept coming and coming till my niggas had to save me by holding him down. Na me wey dey beat am still had to leave the dorm quickly while my niggas held him in dorm. Na me still find am the next day to apologise and make peace because he was clearly a mad man.

Airmark is the Nairaland version of that nigga. He will not lose the war, even if you win the first 10 battles. I trust am die!

What did I miss?

Liverpool don carry league. Make everybody sheath their swords and strategize for next season

kushercain:
Lamelo has been balling tho. The most skilled imo.
Even his 3 pt just hits different and is quite unorthodox

Maybe, I guess I can give you that

Roland17:
I have been saying the league has become nothing but a glorified 3 point contest. The biggest differentiator between a W and a loss isn’t even defense, it is the amount of 3PTA/3PTM.

Take athleticism away from today and many of these guys having nothing!

Haha. Look at the Lakers just lost by 41.

Heat shot 24/47 and Lakers 5/22

It's so comical what we are watching and being told is the golden era of basketball. A glorified 3pt spamming contest

I'm not even wowed by any athleticism I saw MJ, Shaq, Vince, Shawn Kemp, Chuck, Karl Malone. There's nothing I'm seeing today I've not seen before

greypencils:
Totally disgusting. Imagine losing sleep to watch this. I don't bother to watch these games anymore till the playoffs. When I say I love Iverson, it is simply because of his crossovers. Give me crossovers and And1s. Is that too much to ask?

There's no player with unique style or skillset. You're basically watching 3pt spamming clones

Even Antman that was supposed to be different has been infected by the bug, Wemby is now a 3pt spammer. Someone that was supposed to be the unicorn

SGA really the only perimeter player that is growing on me with his style of play these days.

No wonder their ratings keep dropping like stone

Why dont you watch the NBA anymore?

THIS is why:

For people that go on and on about this era and how great and skilled they are.

I keep telling y'all. Nothing complex, nothing special about this era of Hoops. 3pt spamming is the only thing they do at a high clip

On a bad shooting night these "skills" are next to useless

Neuer is holding us hostage. Why did he leave his post like a crazeman

Khanben:
I used playoffs. Maybe you should read exactly what I wrote.
As for half-truths, only Denver shot less than 30 3s in the finals , the Bucks shot a total of 187 in 6 games, that is over 30 attempts per game.

Finals is not part of playoffs?

This is very funny. My point still stands. We had a team that won attempting fewer than 30 3s.

All in all quit hyping that Celtics team and committing basketball blasphemy. Any team that can lose to Jimmy Butler and Caleb Martin is far from unbeatable

Khanben:
All of the teams you claimed didn't spam 3s, all attempted over 30 3PA in the playoffs during the year they won.

Bucks and Nuggets averaged 27 3s or less in the Finals.

So you're telling half truths at best

budaatum:
Yeah right. Biden should leave Hunter in prison under dump.

That's what you'd do if he were your son.

Let Trump had done that and we wouldn't hear the last of it.

I'm happy though that y'all can't even pretend to have any moral ground anymore. Y'all are as corrupt as you project Trump to be

Corrupt Biden pardoning his corrupt son.

Zero surprises by the patriarch of the Biden crime family

I no wan hear pim when Trump starts his own pardoning cos everyone knows if Hunter was not a Biden his ass would be going to jail.

But I know Hypocrite ni gbogbo yin so another story go enter

nateevs:
You moved the goal post. You always move the goal post. When we asked you during the summer those you would bring in for Jackson, you mentioned Dovbyk, Guirassy, Watkins, etc.

Now that we are seeing Jackson outperform these ninjahs on a weekly, you are trying to tag on Gyokeres like you discovered something new. When we know you're standard is to defend the likes of Bellotti. Lightweight trying to form authority on strikers.



Again, you moved the goal post today, when you said even if Jackson scores 20 goals this season, we will move for a striker that scores 30+. Really?

You once said you wanted us to go back to the days of Diego Costa as a striker. This is the standard you expect of Chelsea. But Diego never scored more than 20 goals. So my question to you was what standard exactly is it that you want?

Name the 30+ goal striker you can find that is better than Jackson.

Nateevs ma pa mi nau

Khanben:
I thought MJ was the perfect player and the way he played is the most effective and efficient way to win. If so, why does he need to shoot 3s.
Or are you admitting that spamming 3s as you call it will beat the long 2s barrage of the 90s anyday anytime.

You do realize he has the joint record for most 3s in a half in the NBA Finals right?

Anyway I don't know how you came to such wack conclusions that I admitted anything. Did the Nuggets, Bucks, Lakers need to spam 3s to win a title?

Even The Nuggets were 2-0 against them in the regular season last year. Did they spam 3s

The Bulls will only need to shoot enough. As any logical person would understand

Be like Neuer suppose use style dey reason retirement oh. Father time is unbeatable.

What was that goal he conceded. When you don begin dey dodge shot. Wahala don dey be that

Have the Lakers beat an actual good and healthy team this year.

The way SGA roasted them. Boy oh boy

Khanben:
Last year Celtics is beating all of the above save the Warriors. In a series the longest any of it will last is 5 games

This is big jokes

There's nothing last year's Celtics does at an elite clip besides spam 50 3s a night. Quit criminally overrating this era of ball. There's no Luka or Kyrie on MJs Bulls that you could relentlessly hunt

It will be a matter of a glorified 3pt contest in today's rules. Best case scenario. And if Antman and Tatum can spam 3s what makes you think MJ wouldn't?

No way you man's are gassing the team that lost to Jimmy Butler and Caleb Martin. (and before you mention Jrue Holiday, I'd remind you he was on the team Jimmy beat in 5)

Two bad shooting nights and they're toast.

Roland17:
Someone needs to remind Anthony Edwards that he hasn’t won anything. I feel like he has allowed the noise about his abilities to distract him. He has regressed this season with his overall play. ANT needs to refocus because he is losing the respect of his team mates and the fans are now booing.

The signs were visible last season. He started feeling himself with all them antics. A few seasons in NBA wilderness will humble him a bit.

They're sub .500 now with a non contender team. Lessons will be learned

Skrrrrrrr:
Is this reality staring the warriors in the face?

You were being harsh on the Warriors. The Nets just beat the Suns and their big 3

Omo. This new CL format na war. Fortunately our final 3 games should be easily winnable. Shakhtar, Slovan Bratislava, Feyenoord

That top 8 dey shake right now. But considering teams like City and Madrid that are in deeper kpenkelemes all we can do is keep winning
