until we get the next superhuman who will play until age 60….

lol Warriors played the second most nationally televised games while being a bum team. Steph is 100% up there with Bron in that regard.

I think Wemby will

True, I don’t think Steph has that power now. He was must see for that entire dynasty run but it’s cooled the last couple years

But he will 100% get the maximum games when he hangs it up in 4? 5? 6? Years

I work in the sports tv industry - Steph and the Warriors have been a bigger draw by audience for a few years now

Curry draws more viewers tho

The NBA is worse at building up new stars than the WWE.

Wemby could get there but I think It’d be hard for a non-American tbh

Like, I ain’t even mad. I would love to catch as many Philly games as possible. NBA knows what I want and it’s to watch the greatest ever while he’s still around

You sleeping on Wemby. He’s going to be Earth’s ambassador to the galactic federation.

Was Jordan still the face of the NBA when he was with the Wizards?

As long as LeBron is still able to compete he will be the face of the league, and I feel he retires when that stops. But if he keeps playing until he’s not good anymore at some point that changes.

Fr LeBron is like the male Caitlin Clark 

Lebron was kind of lucky. He caught Shaq and Kobe in the later part of their careers, and there was no one really close to him until Steph came around. It was a one superstar league for a long time.

lol

Warriors broadcast team do Sixers’ games?

Oh fuck. I just remembered, I liked watching Lakers games because of the commentators

Alaa is terrible, but I don’t get the hate on Kate Scott.

I know it was the radio crew but I still can’t get over the overreaction the Sixers crew had to a scuffle between Embiid and Bledsoe.

I HAVE NOT SEEN A VIOLENT ACT LIKE THAT IN YEARS!

Having watched 76ers games I can safely say you’re so much better than the Warriors’ guys. They’re actually insufferable

You guys aren’t the Warriors

I might be the only Sixers fan that doesn’t mind them lol. It’s not like they are Hall of Famers but they get the job done. They are obviously homers (they are a part of NBC Sports Philadelphia or something) but they give credit where it’s due and will criticize the Sixers players when needed. They’ll even admit when they think the refs got a call wrong in favor of the Sixers. Usually saying something like “that’s not what we saw, but we’re not gonna tell him.”

I don’t really know what more people want unless you’re expecting some amazing national duo that have been doing this for decades lol. Yeah we don’t have Marv Albert or Mike Breen, but it’s fine. Zumoff was excellent but he retired.

We gotta get Zumoff out of retirement for this. The guy is a legend, one of the best I’ve ever heard.

I listened to a friggen Joe DeCamara vs Jack Fritz 1v1 radio call (2 Philly sports talk radio guys for the non-Philly people here) because they managed to get Zu out of retirement for it and hearing his voice call basketball again damn near brought a tear to my eye

I swear if it becomes like the 2022 & 2023 Broncos, I might contemplate the bottle…

I need to learn who they are and find clips.

Something something in South Philly!!

I swear when kate first came on they were pretty solid together, it feels like there was a real during the 24-25 year from hell and they’re now completely unbearable homers.

Wish we could have bill and stu traded to philly pls. Love them!

I really liked Malik Rose back in the day. Unfortunate

i hate listening to that woman. whoever she is

Wait, are you talking about your own commentators here?

I assume they use the national broadcasting crew depending on the network it’s not. Not the local crew.

and opening night lol

Sixers/Lakers so LeBron and Bronny can spend Christmas together.

Sixers lakers could be fun too

76ers-knicks would be great too

If that matchup happens, the Christmas Day trash talk is going to start weeks before tipoff.

And just like that the current NBA champions are completely forgotten

They boomed us.

Who cares about sixers Celtics. Sixers and lakers would be way ebtter

Huh? Doesn’t this mean there will be blackouts on league pass? Or am I thinking of it wrong?

fmhy.net

Maxey and edgecombe need to lock in in the regular season

Embiid the only guy that’s injury prone.

Was it the Spurs Wemby’s rookie or sophomore season that had hella national tv games and then he got injured and a lot of them?

And Zion years before that had the same thing.

Wemby wont last long either to be fair.

Wishing injury when your C is a bad knee landing away from catastrophic future is something else. Stay classy.

Man you afford that. Imagine not seeing Jordan when he was playing

Ticket prices are outrageous these days … watching at home is more enjoyable 

Yeah I live outside Philly now and will randomly catch some games, might have to drop that down to maybe just a game this season so I can say I went but it’s expensive

I’m absolutely saving for Thunder v 6ers in OKC and hoping Bron plays.

TeLevision

Yup, and this is the main reason I never get league pass. I don’t have cable and before last year there were very few broadcast games, and like zero before Christmas. Except the games I wanted to watch were blacked out because they were on ESPN/TNT/etc, which I didn’t have, which was the whole purpose of getting league pass. This is even worse during playoff time.

Wait, all those are blackout?

I don’t remember there was any blackout to all the games I wanted to watched last season.

VPN, international league pass. No blackouts. Works for me every year.

They shall know our pain in paying for tickets!

VJ Edgecomb year 2. 🎇

Adam Silver

KCP obviously

And of course both Laker games. If the o/u was 3.5 I’d take the over with Boston.

Uhh…Wait till he plays against the Lakers AND has to defend son Bronny or dunk on Luka

Yes and No🫣

No. Make his ass work.
