I know this doesn't guarantee success but it also provides a quick platform to being competitive. I know it can depend where on where the superstars are currently but the teams in Los Angeles/New York/Brooklyn/Miami/San Francisco & Chicago should be able to attract free agent talent that your cities like Detroit/Milwaukee/Portland and many others can't. Not sure I'm on the same page with this one, free agency, perhaps, I'm not sure, but ball is life my friend, unless you're partial to the fans from a certain city, guys want to play and win. Not sure it's the same as with football, where the big city lights are the ultimate attraction and generally the teams based in bigger cities by population end up with the best talent. I played in a tournament two weeks ago with three guys who averaged 20+ minutes in the NCAA, one who averaged 20ppg in it too, he usually played near 40 minutes. One of which I had to match up with in the semi-final, and it was the guy who averaged 20ppg, he was in multiple mock drafts and was being looked at seriously by two NBA teams. That's the thing with the NBA and American basketball in general, it's NBA or bust, and I'm taking the words straight out the mouth of one of those three NCAA standouts. You might even know who I was having this conversation with, as he played for Geelong Supercats and Corio Bay, Anthony Kimble? His words a fortnight ago. NBA or bust. I'm actually playing in a higher division than Kimble for the season starting tomorrow, and I've never been paid for basketball outside of winning streetball tournaments. My point is that you've got guys who are good enough to play NBL, NCAA and put up good numbers, some even with NBA talent, and they're out in Australia's suburbs grinding away? Hell, they're sometimes in Australia's suburbs playing third division or fourth division! I guess all I'm saying is that there's 30 teams that will pay your bills in America, otherwise you go overseas. In England alone, you can earn $30,000AUD playing League Two football, that's per week!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted April 30, 2020 Share Posted April 30, 2020 Very enjoyable so far. Clearly will have a slight bias towards Jordan and the bulls team but interesting doc. Not often you get that level of access to a great sports team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, who hits 63 points against that '86 Celtics team in a playoff game? (I don't think LeBron has ever hit over 50 against a team with a winning record, certainly never in playoffs) Pippen contract situation was interesting. Penny Hardaway gets a deal worth double what Pippen is offered. Both Top 5 draft picks, though Penny is a rookie, Pippen a NBA Champion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A'Villan Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Ja my God. I'm seeing him for the first time there, thanks. That's like a composed, poised and efficient Westbrook, only with the finesse to finish, not just the explosive force to power home. Me likey!

Don’t worry, there’s talk of a pointless, second hun for Chicago, Detroit and all the other outcasts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
