mamakk!!!

2 matches per week, if you’re lucky theres 3, NBA Action,and NBA Fastbreak, that’s about all you can get if you’re a NBA fan out here in the middle of South East Asia, oh unless you count that crappy NBA Inside Stuff in, which in my opinion has done nothing improve the image of basketball here, in fact it makes it look even worse, not helped by the fact that Ahmad Rashad thinks he is charismatic enough to charm the audiences over here (is he even likable?), the fact that the lack of NBA games over here is making it hard for any of the audience to even determine how many teams there are in the L (thank god for the Internet!) ,

the pathetic schedule

and fact that there are even more ACC basketball on tele than the NBA doesn’t help either, so to the extent that in truth nobody actually know who Gilbert Arenas is, and the average person would only know who Kobe, LeBron (from the Ads), O’Neal (they spell it as O’Neil though), T-Mac, Vince Carter(Karter) is, team wise Lakers and the Chicago Bulls that’s it, i find it sad and disturbing because everyday on tele, i see football almost 24/7 on almost 4 sports channels and even the Australian Open is getting OVER coverage even for the fact that no one here even PLAYS tennis (except for some certain Thais), GET MORE NBA on TV!!!!! that’s what I’m talking about, and stop showing teams like Dallas, Heat, Pistons, Spurs, I’m getting SICK of them, that’s about all they have, in their mindset the Heat is still the marquee team in the NBA, NO dude! they are gone, show the Suns or whatever just not Miami!

BTW - the NBA ads here are awful, wrong team name spelling in the game promo, Boobcats for Bobcats?, and also the halftime shows, like if its a ESPN coverage? u get the Toyota Half-Time show, OH NO!!! not here, they would please themselves to show us repeat features on Dwyane Wade and the Heat’s road to the championship or whatever crap there is

BTW 2 - the fact that the presenters know less NBA knowledge than myself irks me, theres this guy who once said Andre Miller played fr the Kings before he was traded to Denver? terrible and it is always the same woman presenter on tele, I’m sick of her yo! get her off the screen,

Mark Jackson

BTW 3 - i do notice the fact that Mark Jackson is actually the most hilarious analyst among the rest that I’ve saw on tele, the most annoying has to go to Bill Walton and Tom Tolbert, the most boring would be Hubie Brown or maybe Doug Collins, whom both will end up teaching you the correct plays or whatever…my favorite quote of all time comes from Tom Tolbert though it was a bad call by the officials and i think it was Ray Allen who missed the 1st FT and he was like “that’s the God of Basketball evening things up” classic.
