    What is the WORST thing an NBA team can be faced with - WOAH...wait, what was that..was that a bird that just.. oh crap, ok, what was I saying...oh yes, the worst thing a team can be faced with in the NBA is.....DISTRACTIONS. or maybe thats not it... But a lot of people sure do think it is. Especially with Lavar ball running around..distracting everyone... i guess. who knows. I just know the lakers have made a tradition of of being distracted.

      LOL i'd cry if I was a Iverson fan. He never won a chip and totally retired from the league in a garbage fire, and his legacy will never be remembered for more than being a ball hog and a selfish team player, that had so much of an ego, he wouldn't come off the bench even near the end of his career :(

  • @hitchhiker3173
    @hitchhiker3173 6 років тому +5

    THE NBA STORYTELLER I think it's because of 2 reasons. 1. is because of what you said a few times throughout your videos, which is that today everybody is PC and players can not truely express themselves and neither can anybody who is a persona around the team (or they can, but it has become way too popular to bitch at any character who is just a bit colorful and not dull and grey and so clean that it actually smells bad). 2. (and this might be the real reason) As long as the lakers are kicking ass it's all part of the showtime theme, but as soon as they start doing bad, or at least not being any good, then people around the team start getting blood thirsty. (and the lakers, this season, from what I've seen, seem to me mediocre at best on a good day).. and it's even more convenient for criticisers outside of the team environment, or all types of "commentators" to pick up on that, because most of today's media commentators are just living in their own popularity contest, a cringy version of a miss pasadina beauty pagent, only without the good looks, because most of the mainstream crowd do not like to think that much and like to hear what creates cognitive ease for them, things they are used to hearing and make them feel comfortable and let them know which pattern they are supposed to be thinking in. Anyway, that was my rant about it, sorry for it taking so long. Great video as always. Peace out teller ✌🏼(and btw it IS a GOOD thing that there is such a team in the history of the NBA which, through most of it's history, is all talent but still colorful and full of those distractions, it is even good for the NBA. As you once said, it's just good for business)

    Think about how the Lakers get ride of regular non-distracting players/ assets for all-distracting ones because of no good reasons: 1st Rd Pick (which turned into Finley)- Cedric Ceballos; Eddie Jones- Glen Rice; Trevor Ariza- Ron Artest; Lance Jr- Isaiah Thomas. It doesn't matter who runs the team, because they breathe distractions.

    IMPORTANT and inspiration read for the NBA Storyteller (aka the NBA Oracle) and his new fans. This is the most underrated basketball channel on youtube. The NBA storyteller will share unbiased and pure knowledge, facts, and perspective that will change the way you see both basketball and life in general. Come here to be enlightened, to have the curtains unveiled before your eyes so that you see through the illusions created by the agendas of mass media. Keep up the great work. Your videos bring me immeasurable happiness when I get home from work because I know real knowledge is about to be dropped on my dome! You are the captain of a spaceship taking us through the strands of history to reveal nba knowledge lost to the passage of time. And although the recognition may be slow at first, eventually the world will take notice and You will be Ali standing over Liston. You are an NBA Oracle!

    But this is timeless quote, man: "Magic played 1on1 with dead - and won."
    Did you read his lifetime book and passage about MJ and 1on1 theme? :,) "I thought, I can beat him...but no, he is just too good." :))
    Btw, one of the best sports books of all time, along with that about Ivan Lendl. It should be obligation for NBA Storyteller and every true sport fan.
