    Big congrats on the top 25. It’s so hard for regular people to break into that level of respect. I mean the Pardon My Take boys have had either the biggest or second biggest sports podcast for the past 5 years and have more followers than most of the people on the list but because they aren’t traditional media they never get respected by corporations like Complex. It’s really huge to see Kenny get the nod

    Some people are going overboard with the playoff advantages being an award for the IST. something simple like an extra win on the record(not adding an extra game but basically erasing a loss) or an automatic tie breaker if you end up with the same record as another team. That sounds feasible to me.
    PS: you might have to make the extra win also an extra loss for the other team basically erasing a win

    For the player contracts including equity, both the NFL and NBA explicitly do not allow active players (or any employee that is not a relative of the owner/owners in the NFLs case) from being given equity in the team. In the MLB, it is not allowed but the commissioner can give an exemption.

    47:29 I hate to be against Kenny on this one, but I think with Klays age, dip in production, and contract situation there are no contenders that would be willing to give up what Golden State would want to get back. Too much risk involved to get shooting when there is a chance you can get it elsewhere for cheaper without the big name.

    For the cavs, I say they need to trade JA. Having 2 nonshooters on the floor made them way easier to guard for the knicks. This same issue showed up for the warriors last year vs the lakers. Having 2 nonshooting bigs in 2023 is hilarious. Also the offense doesn’t have any flexibility it’s all mitchell or garland pick and roll. Very predictable

How can the NBA make the 4 times you play a division rival actually feel like both teams are rivals? Would you like to see the top record in each division get an automatic playoff spot like the NFL?

  • @RANDOMPLANET
    @RANDOMPLANET 11 місяців тому

    Kenny, I love your content.. but giving essentially and extra 1st round lottery pick, even if its the last one is WAYYYYYY to high of a prize for a couple game tourney that honestly didn't even involve many of the good teams because of the way the brackets were set up (Lakers having BY FAR the easiest bracket, while a Kings, Wolves and Thunder bracket was murderers row).
    There is no way a couple of regular season games will ever translate to a 15th overall pick, with a chance of moving up. 500k is enough to motivate players, because it motivates the rookie scale and lower paid vets (lot of money for them) and motivates the paid ones to get their other guys paid. Nothing else NEEDS to be added, because the IST games will always a higher rating (even if not as high as the first year) just to see the special courts, jerseys and the feeling of tourney bball during the early, slowest parts of the season.
    Simply, the fans will watch if its entertaining, competitive ball. Nothing else is needed for them, the IST is fine for what it is, y'all trying a bit too hard lol.

    I think for the in season tournament, itd be a good idea to make the first round 31 picks, whoever wins gets the 15th pick, first pick outside the lottery, or hell, even what kenny said make it part of the lottery and just the slightest chance for it to jump. 14th is 1% so itd only be like .8% or .5% but hey, thats still better than 15th no matter what.

    • @abscinding
      @abscinding 11 місяців тому

      Gives teams without picks a pick that they can use to trade or get some youth, I'm assuming the teams in contention for championships will most likely be who wins these IST's, and they usually don't have picks, or the teams like Indiana could have an extra pick to possibly become even better or package for an even higher pick.

    • @RANDOMPLANET
      @RANDOMPLANET 11 місяців тому

      There is absolutely no way a 15th overall pick at worst would be a prize for essentially 5-7 in season games, that with the bracket set up, would often not even have the best teams there. That would do WAYY more harm then good to a IST setup.

      Who says anything NEEDS to be done on the fan side? The players are fine with the 500k already, and the fans get psuedo playoff basketball in the first 1/4 of the season, plus unique courts and jerseys for them.
      Sure.. it might not be as popular as year one, but the attendance and viewer numbers for the games will be undoubtedly higher then a plain old regular season early game..
      Simply.. the first IST just ended.. and people are trying to say 'more needs to be added and fixed' like normal Twitter/Reddit/interwebs peoples. There is nothing that needs to be added on, especially for now lol. If the numbers go back to regular season game numbers next year (which, common sense says they will not) then you add and fix the issues.. but as of now it already HAS things for the players, and more exciting BBall for the fans.
      There is only one thing I could see as a 'fix' and that is opening the IST up to more teams.. because many of the better teams in the league didn't see the next rounds even with 3-1 IST records.

    OKC fan here , when I watch my team play I usually see Josh giddey usually be a second string PG running with the second unit which can be beneficial at times however I feel I speak as every okc fan we are 1 piece away from being a championship contender year on and year on , with that being said I’ll say Josh giddey and a couple of picks for a guy like lauri markkanen , og from the raptors also having a little down year we can snatch him in February or even a guy like mikal bridges which is high unlikely.

    The Clippers suck and won’t be accomplishing anything of serious value this year. wtf are we talking about. It’s a team with Russ AND harden. Two of the biggest let down “superstars” in recent memory. Gtfoh Kenny… the Clippers are destined to fail.

      Shallow ass analysis lmao. ‘Russ and Harden haven’t won as the No 1 option so they can’t win as the 3rd and 4th options’. “Destined to fail” my fucking ass
