Of course you have no clue to what my gripe is with the players...I didn't mention one thing about NBA PLAYERS. I said the NBA, in general. But...since you're asking...

For one, it's all me and no we. Carmelo vs. LeBron? T-Mac vs. Kobe? ****, if that's how my company were to represent itself I'd leave. ANYONE who makes it to the NBA is a talented ball player, period. They all deserve some type of credit.

Second, the product sucks. And PLEASE don't tell me different. These guys can't score more than 80 points a game, when back in the 80s, 70s, 60s, they were putting up over 100 easy AND most of the time that was without a 3 point line. Also, the fouls called are so goddamn ridiculous it takes away from the game EVER establishing a flow.

And I guess for my 3rd, but not FINAL gripe with the NBA is the constant failure of the NBA and it's owners, executives, and itself as a company, ever taking blame for ANYTHING. All I have is two words for that: Trail Blazers. I don't even need to elaborate on that one. Oh...and also the EXTREME lack of any type of competition is hilarious. We all KNOW who will win the NBA title...a Western Conference team. They might as well make the Western Conference Playoffs THE playoffs.

I won't even address your comment about players on the playgrounds...my gripe isn't with players. But also watching some AND 1 Mixtape or ESPN Streetball doesn't make it "the way it is". Sorry, YO, but not all NBA players are out there.

I apologize if this came off rude or whatever, but I would just like to NOT be quoted wrong or my opinion slighted. ****, if I was an NBA player (which was my dream until I got to college) I would love it. But I would rather have been a player back in the 80s or early 90s when the product was genuine and not some WWF (or WWE whatever the hell...) wannabe. I don't need Brittney Spears telling me she loves the NBA and sing a song at halftime about it.

Gotta love the Warriors. Hard working, TEAM oriented...and still won't make the playoffs.

JUST rememberd about this thread...

I relally disagree with you though man...100 ppg? please, they have better DEFENCE now

fouls? they don't call most of them! Although some that are called are pretty dumb...

player vs player? I see it only in the media...whenever I watch a press conference it's always about the team.

I agree though about the way we can USUALLY tell who will win the finals...but it has been thrown off a couple of times in the very recent past

    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original

      Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.

      Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
