Windy "Punished for what?…" Is exactly why the USA is in the situation it is today. Journalism is dead. Ethics is dead. Takes limited to want benefits you instead of the quest for truth and accountability. This is very sad.
So, "for what?" you ask. For basically pressuring teams to let him leave because he has an under the table agreement with a NBA team. For agreeing to corruption and breaking the rules of the league that he participate in.
That's not nothing, and you know it.
There was no "explosion in salaries", the players make roughly the same percentage now then they did 14-15 years ago. The "explosion of salaries" is just what they should be getting paid according to buying power in the US right now
Vince is trying too much
Its so interesting we are putting so much on Wemby so early. Lebron at least had guys around who could help. Vic is basically all alone setting the tone for the league, setting the tone for the all star, setting the tone for what being a star is. People expect him to save the all star because the idea is "He's so good he can embarrass guys until they play hard". That's insane expectations for Vic
Fat coward
Knicks were coming off a Double overtime win against the Nuggets before they faced Indiana. That loss was a Fluke in my opinion. They come out and destroy the 76ers the next game by “49”. lol
If Pablo was the judge Kawhi would be guilty for crimes against humanity
Windy you coward, with peace and love.
Makes sense why we hear no aspiration talk.
JBN….Jewish Boys Network… our sports have become… Owners/Commishners/GMs/Insiders/Law Firms/Reporters… all 🤔🙊🫵🙈
This why I fw Pablo
This is a really bad look for the Hoop Collective. You just can't decide to stop talking about the biggest issue in the NBA right now.
Windy should quit & become Kent State Univ Basketball GM…🫵🙏
There should be repercussions for your team/family or the player asking for illegal sanctions and then receiving them. He should be banned for a year.
Wow the lack of respect from
so-called journalists in terms of Brunson being locked down! They won 3 games in Detroit! I get ESPN needs to build a narrative so over gassing an inexperienced bruiser team so you can pull ratings is exhausting. Windy your better than this please check these guys!whoever this other guy is clearly is a Detroit Stan which is fine but if you’re going to talk serious about basketball be honest and objective smh! The Knicks were down 2-3 starters each time they played Detroit last season they lost all regular season games against Detroit! Each year with Brunson the Knicks have improved playoff success. So stop with the they better make it as if they have earned that respect they beat all the best teams last year and went game 7 against Indy.
13:31 out there? 😂 he’s parroting the most basic lib talking points that 99% of the media and major corporations agree with. Wow guns are bad, DEI is good 😂 foh
These guys are clowns
I keep expecting Bontemps to pipe in and interrupt Windy 😅
This is what it sounds like when you get muddled. Journalistic integrity right out the window.
Is a shame what’s going on in the league
Slater brings up the warriors for Kawhi as if golden state has cap space or assets that any team wants 😅 he is so annoying why did espn hire him
It’s sports journalism? It’s not life and death, you create relationships and keep them. If you want dirt or whatever, maybe try ET for your fix.
Brian is a coward and a sell out.
Don't know what these two are on the same podcast, simply awful dynamic and Slater wants nothing to do with Vince. Break this duo up
Bontemps would say it.
So Adam Silver finally made that call to Windy huh???? 😂😂😂
Windy, the champion of journalism integrity!
So all yall really care this much about tanking? I’m convinced half of yall don’t even watch basketball. S/O to Windy for standing on his square.
31:17 by the way, AI slop sucks!
Tanking is a legitimate strategy for the long term improvement of teams particularly those in small markets.
Finally people seeing Brian has never had a spine when it comes to calling out literally anything. The reason he’s gotten so far in NBA media is not because he’s a student of the game or understands tactics. It’s because he tries to be everybody’s friend and doesn’t say controversial things.
How about, the same way we have requirements for max contracts like winning DPOY and All-NBA Selection, the NBA can add that for a player to get a supermax they need to either be an all-star MVP or be on the winning team in the all-star game.
Windy youre a coward, with peace and love of course
What an annoying first 10 minutes. What a childish approach to hard topics. My god grow up windy.
Last watch from me man , terrible takes
“I’m not gonna talk about it” proceeds to talk about it immediately
This is so embarrassing for you windy. You got a call to stop talking about anything negative and you caved. WOW
The sly smile calling the Knicks front runners lol, what is up with that
Slater in such a bubble writing about kuminga. Windy had it right when he sarcastically calls it a real topic
Brian Windhorst…..YOU ARE NOW A SELL OUT!! When You Can Be Bought And Lose Your Integrity You Are Officially Considered A Sell Out!!!! Sad And LowKey DisRespectful 😒😠
