Playoffs Update + NBA over-marketing stars?

Tue, 30 Apr 2024 17:28:00 +0000

Ep. 88 - Ryan and Brandon debate whether the NBA is over-marketing its biggest stars - the LeBron James’ and Kevin Durant’s of the league - in an attempt to appeal to casual fans who might not yet know who the next generation of stars like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Anthony Edwards are.

If you want to skip to that discussion, it starts by framing the results of the first round so far at about 6:50.

We also talked about a bunch of other stuff, including:

How the Blazers make it VERY hard to actually win a car from hitting a half court shot.
The broadcasting teams handling the NBA Playoffs, both the good and the bad.
Whether the Rudy Gobert trade has been justified with Minnesota advancing to the 2nd round.
Why we shouldn’t compare where the Blazers are in their rebuild to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Disappointment on Dame’s behalf as it looks like the Bucks are going to be bounced in the first round, and whether there’s hope for Milwaukee to come back stronger next year.
News about how the NBA’s new broadcasting rights deals are coming together, and whether this bodes well for Blazers games being more accessible to fans.
