Steven A Smith should be on the wall with a “lifetime achievement” award

There’d be no one left to report anything lol

Sam amico

We have that, it is called ESPN

For “consistent” nonsense that always gets posted here it’s Jake Fischer. I can’t believe how popular his posts get on this sub.

Nobody gives a shit unless it’s Shams and he’s almost never wrong despite what bums like Giannis and Jimmy try to say

If reporter A is told by an insider with Team A that Player A is being shopped to Team B, and then Team C trades for them instead that doesn’t mean Reporter A lied or reported false information

Information is constantly changing, the league is always moving

At least tiers like they have on soccer subreddits. Fully support this, it’s getting out of hand

Blame the agents, GM’s, coaches, players and their family/friends who say things that may not be true in the offseason.

Windy throws a lot of shit at the wall seeing if anything sticks

Yeah, like this subreddit doesn’t love eating up all these rumors.

lets start with tim kawakami the miserable cunt

Game of Zones style. We walk them through the depths of Redditville and spew their crap back at them and yell SHAME! SHAME!!

It’s on you for believing “talks” and “interests” are sure-fire bets. There were legit talks and interest regarding Kobe, Magic, Jordan, (etc) trades that never materialized - doesn’t mean they never happened.

Start by not talking about them and stop posting about the bullshit they say, But ya’ll won’t do that

There’s like 2-3 people in all of nba media with actual sources. Everyone else just parrots rumors or “confirms” that it was an open secret after it already happened

No I like them

You need a tier list and people to vote on it, the lower tiers would be rejected by the community. Works fine in the soccer Reddits

Ramona Shelburne.

That’s like all of them

Honestly not a terrible idea. I don’t think we should outright ban certain reporters outside of extreme examples but having a list of “known bullshiters” might actually be pretty useful.

But that’s also assuming people would read it. Considering a ton of people don’t even realize subreddits have their own rules I don’t expect much lol.

Who gives a fuck about some shit like that. Just wait for the season to start, instead of following daily rumours.

I mean this subs eats that shit up too.

in the olden days we had a tier list

“The Wall of Shams”

Just ban anyone who uses “anonymous sources”

They’re so full of shit and they know you can’t fact check it.

The NBA is really feeling the loss of Woj now. There’s no real voice of authority like him out there now so all the screaming idiots and attention-seekers share exactly equal weight with people who have real information.

Bro u said this and I thought something else happened with the lebron or kawhi saga. Nothing happened they could still be right lol

“Kyle Pitts floor is Travis Kelce” Bill Simmons

I understood that spewing shit out of your ass is completely normal. Much of our home plumbing infrastructure, as well as whole sections of plumbing code are predicated on the notion.

For real….like a Sports Journalism TS%, weighted journalist “shot” accuracy – bigger stories/breaks/takes count for more when they prove right but all attempts are tracked and count

I would propose to do tiers, as they do in football subs. Like Shams is TIER 1, almost never wrong, and so on

Jovan Buha

wall of shame sounds like a full-time job already

Shame on you for not being able to distinguish those who are paid to spew bs.

Bill Orantothebathroom comes to mind

Tim McMahon is a gossip blogger

No sources just gossip

It’s because reporters don’t get called out on it. They can start rumors & nothing happens to them when their wrong or extremely unprofessional. The only person that called out a reporter that I can remember is d.howard. That reporter didn’t know what to say after being put on the spot

We do, it’s called First Take

Yeah it’s called ESPN

If you get mad at baseless rumors, then why are you here during the offseason?

May I present to you: ESPN

I support this movement.

We should copy what the soccer subreddits do and label different reporters through tier lists so we know who is reliable and who is full of crap

How local do we wanna get….got some Wolves reporters & media people that could go up there

back in the day we would just stop listening to them. but in todays forced news market its hard to mute people

I’ve tried doing something like this but both the mods and people of the sub love shitty takes too much. Mods say that any sort of list like this turns into censorship.

Add Michel Grange on there. Dude’s a documented liar.

Just give them gold like the other Redditors. Easy peasy.

modern journalism is regurgitating what someone else said until it is taken as fact 

Why? The majority of people love the drama lol Look at all the recent posts on this sub lmao

I thought it was called espn?

Wall of Shams

Pin this shit

Yeah fr, the way dudes can be loud wrong every summer and just keep their jobs is wild 😂

We got receipts now too. All these “LeBron might…” “Kawhi could…” stories age like milk in 48 hours and they just pivot to the next fake scenario like nothing happened.
