So this year I’m pretty sure it’s going to be Spurs vs Pelicans for both of the Europe matchups. Obviously Wemby is a global superstar but wouldn’t it be better if the spurs played the lakers or thunder for example? Even if we look at last year, the matchup was grizzlies vs magic

I think I have 5 on the top of my head:
Nuggets Twolves 2024 second round
Lakers Warriors 2023 second round
Spurs Thunder 2026 WCF
Boston Milwaukee 2022 second round
Pacers Knicks 2025 ECF

I’m 24 and it seems as vanilla is the most sexy scent. I wouldn’t spend more than $250 on a cologne, I have heard that SWY intensely is the best sweet scent but many say it’s overrated.

Who’s the most beloved athlete of all time in Los Angeles?

Some to mention: LBJ block, Jordan game 6 winner, Steph double banger, kyrie 3, ray allen 3, kawhi buzzer

Ever since the 80s, the most famous athlete in America has always been a basketball player whether it was Magic, bird, MJ, Shaq, Kobe, LBJ, Curry and soon to be Wemby. Although I don’t understand how the NFL gets far more viewership numbers than the nba but their stars don’t have that type of fame. It’s honestly not crazy to say that there are 10 nba players who are more recognizable than the most famous active nfl player (excluding Mahomes and Kelce)

New York went crazy this year for the championship and the ratings followed but it could be mainly just because of the 53 year drought. Luka leading LA to a chip is probably the biggest storyline. Wemby is the most fascinating player we’ve ever seen and is pretty much must see tv with very good ratings this year. And the NBA is a players league and every single casual and non basketball fan would tune in to see the most famous and decorated player win his last championship

Obvious pick is Wemby but i don’t know if he’s there yet, luka is huge overseas same with giannis, if jokic had a personality it would easily be him

Don’t think it’s Wemby cause he always wants to take a pay cut and that stuff. Think it’s either Flagg, Cade, ant or Dybansta

The obvious pick is probably Knicks lakers or lakers Celtics and it makes sense because LA and NY markets are absolutely massive, Lakers Boston is also the best basketball rivalry of all time. I don’t hunk those 2 matchups would be the biggest though, my picks would be Knicks spurs rematch because everyone loves a revenge story and it’s a rematch of one of the best and most watched finals in some time. My 2nd pick would be sixers vs spurs/lakers, both west teams work, LeBron getting revenge against SAS after all those years and goat vs future goat and with Philly/LA it’s Bron vs Bronny which might be the greatest sports narrative/story ever for a final, both markets are also huge

I feel like the 3 best options narrative wise would be GSW, Lakers and San Antonio with GSW being at the top and San Antonio being the most realistic.

Ant is a month older than Cade. Ant has far more playoff success but we have seen that cade can single handedly carry his team to 60 wins. Feel like it’s a real toss up but I would go with Cade

Dynasties give great storylines and drama where everyone wants to see the dynasty fall. Parity gives every team hope and every fanbase feels like they have a chance, also keeps the season fun. Not to mention that the league had its best viewership years during the dynasties like MJ bulls, Kobe and Shaq Lakers, GSW dynasty

View Poll

Moved to NYC last October, I thought it was easily a Yankees city and occasionally a football city but I saw how crazy New Yorkers were going for this championship run. almost every New Yorker was tapped into this finals run no matter what age, hundreds of thousand at watch parties and 3 million at the parade, during this June all New York could talk about was the Knicks
