@YourManDevine These naturalized point guards are getting weirder. But if he can help them qualify for Eurobasket, it’ll be worth it.

@arbarkas I’m pretty much the target market but it’ll be a cold day in hell before I buy a ticket for Manchester City BC!

@ballineurope At this point I am open minded and intrigued, without really getting excited until I have bum on seat for the first game

My near 5yo son is 114cm (pretty average). We’ve been playing with a toy indoor hoop, he can touch the rim on tippy-toes. He loves me trying to block his shot, and Mutumbo vids. Trying to time a block is hard! Real basketball players are aliens.

@dan_routledge You have a situation now where EL with a straight face talks up European ‘sporting culture’ in opposition to NBA Europe, in the same season as Dubai got parachuted in. I think they do sort of mean it genuinely, but they’ve stripped away the culture, without enough entertainment

Seconded. Not the terminology I'd use in European sport, feels like we're in a moment where people (football fans particularly) are trying to push back from this sort of concept and revert to more traditional days. Maybe it works, but wouldn't be my start point for sure
Ball in Europe@ballineurope

Sport Entertainment is literally how WWE describes itself. Don't get me wrong, basketball IS competing with entertainment for disposable income but this is not the phrasing you want when trying to win over the European market

@ballineurope I always think it implies you think your sport is not entertaining enough by itself…

Adam Silver: "I'm focused on the competitive landscape with other entertainment options... we are a sport entertainment product. If I thought the ceiling was the existing EuroLeague and their fan interest, we wouldn't be spending the time and attention we are in this project"

@ballineurope After the first three, would you foul to stop another? I dunno… yes I am a very smart guy posting from my couch after the event

As we start the trophy, not sure there has ever been a format where every point has had more value. If you're worried about end of game 'disrespect' you've not understood the competition

@BrownPhilip @dan_routledge @hcshaw13 Because in a perfect world, I kind of agree with Dan. But we don’t live in that world, so a “random” but completely unambiguous system is superior to the inconsistent and flawed execution of the “better” solution.

@BrownPhilip @dan_routledge @hcshaw13 The strength of the pro-jump-ball case would be significantly strengthened by each referee who could throw it genuinely straight up and also penalise touching the ball too soon

Re: SLB vs BBF/GBBL: For want of being simplistic, who is “right”? I know what it looks like but I’m so far removed these days, I’ve no way to know. DM in confidence if preferred. @BrownPhilip @dan_routledge @SamNeter

Son, I heard you kept going under screens for Steph Curry last night. Got anything to say for yourself?

I mean FWIW, I’m with it. But you can’t basically toss all that aside, create a closed league then act aggrieved when someone else comes along and says they can the same thing, but better
