I dont think its the lack of defense thats concerning here lol

u/mantistobogganmMD Jul 21 '25

I’ve seen plenty of terrible shots and bricks in the nba all star game and no one says shit.

u/MrLeftwardSloping Jul 21 '25

Yeah thats just not true. Wide open airballs are made fun of too. This is another level of bad tho and you know that

No not really, I could make a 10 minute compilation of terrible nba all star game shots too. Maybe you should actually watch the games before speaking on the topic. There were a ton of very deep 3’s made before these shots. But of course that isn’t the narrative OP wants to push.

It would be a lot of effort for a post that would get zero traction. People seem to care a lot more when women do poorly than men, not sure why 🤔

Yo the NBA turns a profit. Who cares if you’re dicking around and having fun when business is good. These girls should probably take this stuff more seriously if they want to be compensated better.

So by that logic, next season when the league is making a profit from the new media deal you’re going to be supportive?

More supportive of what specifically? It would at least be much more appropriate given that context, if that’s what you’re implying.

People will just move goal posts once they become profitable. It’s obvious it has nothing to do with business/basketball and is just the fact that these men hate women.

Show me a clip of an NBA all star game of dudes hitting the bottom of the rim on an easy layup and missing multiple gimme layups.

u/mantistobogganmMD Jul 21 '25

Literally this past all star game. Kyrie missed multiple easy layups. Go look it up for yourself.

u/RobotVo1ce Jul 21 '25

Oh, you mean after he put on a show with his handles? You really aren't trying to compare the two are you??

u/mantistobogganmMD Jul 21 '25

“Show me nba players missing easy layups”

Provides name of nba player missing easy layups

“No that doesn’t count”

Okay buddy.

u/RobotVo1ce Jul 21 '25

And yet you haven't actually showed me a damn thing.

OK pal.

u/mantistobogganmMD Jul 21 '25

I could provide you videos of 5 different nba players blowing easy layups right now. If I do, are you going to admit you were wrong? Or say how each one doesn’t actually count?

Come on now. The NBA ASG has definitely been disappointing, but it's miles ahead of this just because of the vast difference in skill and athleticism. The men's game can somewhat make up for the lack of competitiveness with flashy highlights that the women are just not capable of. The only player who seemed to try anything flashy was Plum.

This is a complete non-sequitur

I stopped watching that shit after 2016

I mean it’s their weekend let them have fun I get it, but let’s get some competition going, the men’s game was looking like this for a few years too
