“It as this time, being what I would consider to be an NBA blogger that I will choose to assume that the Cavaliers’ owner is calling out Simmons and Simmons alone. After all, roughly one week before the hullabaloo insued on the major blogwaves, WFNY reported a Chris Mannix soundbite from Cleveland’s very own 92.3 The Fan; Gilbert was grouped in with Washington’s Ted Leonsis, Phoenix’ Robert Sarver and Boston’s Wyc Grousbeck. While there is considerable potential to point out the obvious Simmons-Grousbeck connection (which too can be categorized as “sad and pathetic”), it is also worth pointing out the piece penned by TrueHoop’s Henry Abbott – also an ESPN property – that listed Gilbert, Leonsis, Sarver and Grousbeck in with Charlotte’s Michael Jordan, Dallas’ Mark Cuban, Denver’s Stan Kroenke, Detroit’s Tom Gores, Memphis’ Michael Heisley, Milwaukee’s Herb Kohl, Philly’s Josh Harris, Portland’s Paul Allen, Sacremento’s tandem of Joe and Gavin Maloof, San Antonio’s Peter Holt, Toronto’s Larry Tanenbaum and Utah’s Greg Miller. Not exactly a one-or-two-man band of hard-nosed negotiating and anchor dragging.”

Trusted and ESPN are oxymorons and should never be used in the same sentence – or paragraph. And truballs – if you prefer to watch superstars play together and not compete against each other, more power to you. How long do you think those ratings will last? And Miami might be considered a big market but they can’t get fans to the game. Lose your small market teams and eventually the NBA becomes nothing.

shut up, Gilbert. Your goal is take away as much money as possible from big markets like LA, NY, CHI, BOS, and MIA. I’m sure the NBA is seeing it’s highest ratings in a decade is because of players like Jamario Moon and Ryan Hollins.
