The difference is Jame Vick is funny & entertaining in a nice way. He is a fan favorite but he is not rude with bad sportsmanship
Uh yeah we want pickleball to be exciting but we don't want pickleball to become about boohoo whining and crying and acting like a petulant child every time something doesn't go your way
Rob is 100000% right about needing players with personality. That’s how pb will grow. Love or hate Lea, fans are talking about her and talking about pickle. That’s what we need
You guys are confusing poor sportsmanship with “energy”
This is a classical example of what is wrong with sports and society today. Do you want pickleball to become the NFL and NBA where taunting is out of control? Is this what you want to teach kids about sportsmanship? But that's what happens. A player in the NFL scores a touchdown or makes a good play and then they taunt there opponent which results in a confrontation (sometimes physical). Well they get "a penalty" so big deal. But in the 8 year old football league the players learn from the pros then they do the same taunting which results in fights and physical confrontation. If that's what you want, you are only thinking of pros and how to make money. When you are the top athletes in a sport have should some integrity and not have the street mentality. I'm not saying everyone has to be Ben or JW and be like ATP. Go ahead and be emotional but when you taunt the other players and go at other players you are not serving the sport nor the future of the sport well all so you can make more money now. Disgraceful and the taunting and chirping needs to be seriously toned down. ps. High fives are fine but what's happening now, fans don't like regardless of what you think.
I am all for the players screaming and yelling in excitement of a good shot by themselves or their partner. Give high fives, be energetic. But do not disrespect the other team, the refs, or the fans.
You can have personality about being a jerk. I’m not a fan of bullying and unsportsmanlike behavior.
If games continue like that singles gold match with Connor Garnett and Fed Staksrud in April and Todd and Waters at Atlanta, I definitely would agree that singles might become the main feature! The whole definition of the court could become more and more like the relationship between the ping pong table and the area that surrounds it.
Why the hell doesn't Rob do what he's saying players need to do to get the fans engaged? He's in full control of getting unhinged any time he wants while he's playing.
Great question….Rob?
have to admit I'm in disagreement with Nunnery about needing the players to amp up drama in pickleball. but this is the order in which I prioritize watching certain players: 1) they have high skill and are entertaining (this is only a couple of people); 2) they have high skill; 3) they are athletic (even if they might not medal regularly or even get to the quarters) and there is something about their play style, personality (or doubles partnership) that I genuinely admire (this is the large majority of people I follow); 4) they have a high growth trajectory and I want to follow their story... I get turned off to players who I associate with bad sportsmanship or behavior that I feel is like marketing click-bait. I'm actually not really sure how to get more rec players to watch pro pickleball. I honestly find all the stats on that to be really really weird. I don't really expect non pickleball players to start watching pro pickleball...
Laya Jansen & Callie are annoying. Rude behavior is not fun for the fans. Rude behavior is not “ energy”. The crowd was against the rudeness of Laya .
Lea* Jansen
Next time you are in Indy for a Fever game let’s play pickleball with Witsken.
“Bet” is from the 80s and now my kid says it.
Ben is the best in singles (and all other events) and it’s not even close. He just doesn’t hustle and seems to lack motivation at times which imo is the main reason for his recent losses. Coming to championship Sunday as a number 2 seed was motivation enough this time. Record set straight for whomever was doubting… Good job Rob for calling Ben by his name. Best to watch matches before commenting on them though… 😉
lol sorry, but you can’t call someone the best, but then in the next sentence say he doesn’t hustle enough. You do realize that being a “goat” requires you to be on everytime you step on the court, right? I NEVER once saw Michael Jordan yawning on the basketball court and acting like he had better things to do… 😂
Ben is the GOAT in singles. He is getting pushed extremely hard in singles right now and it is very close. Fed is very consistent and the best are consistent. Ben has not been consistent regardless of why he isn't consistent.
For a pickleball player, men’s doubles is the best. For someone who doesn’t know the game singles is the best
Nah, I get the skill involved in men's doubles and I understand why they play the way they do but women's doubles is so much more fun to watch as a pickleball player
Colin was terrible against Fed & Matt . Same in bronze match. Ben needs new male partner
Not gonna happen
There isn’t too much that’s entertaining about Lea’s immaturity on the court. It’s not bravery or showmanship. It’s just childlike behavior from a 30 year old, and it’s sad
So is Nunnery going to switch to the Amped or is he going to stick with the Luxx?
I play with a western. I play at a 3.7 level and trying to improve.
Semi-western from baseline, mid court and on the left. Continental on the right.
Rob's advocacy of players being "unhinged" is a really bad faith argument. Think that through- players put on an act in order to rev up the crowd or intimidate a ref or an opponent? That's total bullshit. The minute I see players acting in bad faith on the court, or using poor sportsmanship is the moment I stop watching the sport. Adam is a great announcer and analyst of the game, by the way.
But if Rob's vision comes to pass, and ANY league incentivizes so-called unhinged behavior, the sport will be far worse for it. He sounded like a high school dropout with no ability to think things through logically.
the slang section has me lol.
Stone is correct. Bet is old school. Mid has been around too.
Collin would not have been drafted in mLP if not for ben
When will you notice that Anna Leigh always has the best male player taking 90% of court
The woman’s game is not close to the men’s game for quality
Women aren't "close", they are far SUPERIOR- better quality of shot selection, placement, more exciting to watch than men's doubles.
Don’t you ever watch mixed, the men abuse the female. The male partner doesn’t give her any room on the court . Anna Leigh is often completely off the court when Ben takes a dink away from her.
@@user-db6od9ee5pwhile womens doubles is more exciting they are very close strategy wise. The best women can speed balls up much more often and they can get away with it. Mens doubles you have to be very particular on balls you speed up, so there are more nuances to it.
Both Collin and Anna Leigh would have so much less success without Ben !
Just remember ALW won mixed with Jack sock last year. Jack hasn't seen a champ Sunday yet this year, so ALW is a big reason for their success as well.
Anna Leigh wins nothing without Ben
Except almost all women's doubles and almost all women's singles. Oh wait...
😂😂😂
@@danpodina438 jack socks played out of his mind that tournament. He has been inconsistent since
@@stevejordan-fd1om huh?
