:lol
Jalen choosing OKC to win and Jordan to be on the All star team
Jalen is a retard tbh.
:wow those sunglasses are la berraquera vida! :wow
what are those? need to get my hands on those shits....
I can't stand Jalen. He thinks everybody loves him and knows who he is. But in reality, he is an annoying, unfunny and worthless analyst that makes ESPN's preface show unwatchable.

calm down spring chickens.
it's WAY too early to call anything at the moment. he's just speaking out his ass. It's the retard who asked him the question in July
:lol Spurs fans annual posting and bashing of every mainstream analyst that doesn't pick them to win the title, tbh..
Where's NVE when we need him?
:lol Jalen saying Wes Matthew and Jimmy Butler are the top 2 SG over Klay thompson.
It baffles me how this Detroit gump has managed to maintain a TV gig for so long. He's a straight up gump.
I didn't even watch the video. Don't really care who Jalen picks, cuz he's a retard tbh :lolQuote:

One of most annoying try-hard sport media personality ever..ESPN has failed miserably in trying mould him as their own Charles Barkely :lol

Nothing pleases you assholes tbh
These are my exact thoughts!! Glad I'm not the only one who thinks this is what ESPN is trying to doQuote:

Let me illustrate by example. McDonald's went to this mickey d's shtick a decade or so ago and went all urban and Afrocentric. Commercials were a perfect illustration. Would have one for black audiences and then a separate one that was caucasion oriented. Then a third version which is a melting pot approach. Surely everybody remembers the one where brothas, honkies and Asians are playing Rollerblade basketball on a park court.
Hilarious. Who the fuck plays Rollerblade basketball. Try that crap on an outdoor court in an urban environment and nine times out of ten you will get curb stomped and run off.
ESPN quickly followed suit. You got the Stephen smiths and jalen roses (ABC affiliation) on there for a reason. Same for some caucasion idiots for white folks.
I would only be worried if Barkley chose the Spurs to win.

Are you kidding, he's an obvious Spurs hater. Beyond that, his voice is like nails on a chalk board to me. I guess if his takes didn't suck I could overlook the rest.Quote:

virtual certainty that turned off fans won't vote Jordan onto all star team. I'd bet coaches may have a bias as well. His behavior was shameful.Quote:

:lol:lol at Jalen thinking KD will come back and be anything but a shell of his former self after that injury

They always get shit wrong. In one of the last podcasts they said that Timmy never ever had any FA talk surrounding him.Quote:

I think he might actually be a genius of the broadcasting business. People don't remember Madden and Chuck for having better analysis than anyone else is capable of, lots of guys can do analysis. They get remembered because of memorable schtick that audiences remember. That's Jalen's whole deal -- the "champagning and campaigning", his stories from coming up through the game, all of that. Now that Simmons is gone, ESPN should just build a studio show around Jalen plus a couple of setup men.Quote:

I had his rookie card. Even then, I knew it was worthless then and he proved it years later.
This, they are crybabies oh no he sucks, he picked against San Antonio... :) Let's not forget that it was Jalen Rose that told us LMA is coming to the Spurs long before the season ended.Quote:

Just like it happened this year. Which is why OKC is such a smart bet. They already had their fair of share of injuries, so chances are they will be healthy.
OKC will implode next year. Durant and Westbrook can't play together at the levels they want to play because one or the other has to take a back seat. We saw this time and time again but when one goes down with an injury the other goes into MVP mode.
Durant will try to prove he is the man when he comes back and Westbrook will not like it considering what he did during Durants injury. They will go at each other all next year knowing they both are free agents at the end of the season and they will both leave so they have nothing to lose but to out do one another and in the process hurt the team and cause friction and or a bad season.
In other words " screw it, I'm leaving anyway so let me show the world who's better"
I, for one, prefer it when the Spurs aren't the favorite. I hope everyone jumps on the OKC bandwagon and they get the majority of the pub.
The one thing I agreed with in this broadcast is when he said that the Spurs are really old and Pop is really going to have to manage their minutes well. Wouldn't be surprised to see Duncan sit a couple dozen games this season. Manu around 20 as well. That's why getting another Center is imperative imo.
I think there is a high chance that Durant will leave OKC if they didn't win it this year
I can't write off OKC. They have the greatest playoffs sixth man of all-time on their team.

Okc winning a chip. Thats a joke just like j rose. This guy wishes he was a spur. Im sick ever time the spurs are brought up he says "go spurs go" sarcastically. Bum punk. This guy has a serious crush on jalen on all these videos they make

People keep pushing OKC, but they haven't been to the Finals since 2012. That team isn't even the same team. They've fallen every other year. They've never won anything. No one knows what OKC will look like next year. Durant coming off a foot injury that had issues and multiple surgeries. New head coach. Will or won't they have Kanter (hope not).
A lot of assumptions are being made there with no history to prove that they deserve the benefit of the doubt. i could see if they had been to finals 2 or 3 times or something. But once 3 years ago with a very different team.
I am officially dumber after having watched that interview.Quote:
