1. The NBA is slowly drifting away from a high-intensity and respected sports league and more towards a whimsical SNL skit. Media outlets focus less on actual game content and more on the drama within the James household. Additionally, there is no talk about player progression or internally developing a championship roster team. Nowadays, all teams care about is signing the big name FAs instead of developing young rookies. Lower market teams will struggle in the new era where the teams that have the prettiest cheerleaders will now become the targets for free agents.
2. Knicks fans are the worst. The most expensive NBA franchise, with a net worth of 4 billion US dollars, the Knicks remain title-less. A low quality roster combined with incompetent management shows no promise. Fans hold their hopes on the promise that a big name free agent will sign a super max contract with the Knicks, but why would Kevin Durant come to New York? New York basketball shows no promise in the near future and the only positive outlook on moving to the Big Apple is a nice view from an expensive sky rise apartment. Not once has their been any talk of rebuilding from within the Knicks organization, only unrealistic hopes that Kyrie, KD, and Zion somehow all magically appear in a Knicks uniform. Get real, NYC. Learn how to build a championship roster, not buy one.
3. The LeBron era is over. The second-worst fans in the league are the Lakers fans. Lakers fans are essentially the same as Knicks fans except they live in a warmer city and were lucky to score LeBron. Considered by some to be the [second] greatest of all time (Who could disrespect His Airness?), LeBron left a runner-up team in the Cavaliers to move to the LA beaches. Despite having, what everyone seemed to call "an extremely talented young core," LeBron failed to win a playoff game. Sure, there were injuries along the way, but when the season is on the line, is the "King of basketball" supposed to be taking time off for "load management?" Let's be real here, Lebron is now 34 and just traded his entire team for Anthony Davis, because LeBron apparently neeeded "help" to make the playoffs. Now they're currently pursuing reigning Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard, as having an All-NBA sidekick isn't enough to make the playoffs.
