I'm predicting that they won't due to lack of championship defense. Hope I'm wrong but we shall see ...

Just a plain stupid comment. I have no idea how he even thought to use that but nothing surprises me. Too comfortable and too casual.... Old Myles just thought he was being funny...Brooklyn wrote: ↑Thu Mar 11, 2021 6:09 pm Heat's Meyers Leonard to be away from team indefinitely after using anti-Semitic slur during live stream
Leonard is currently recovering from shoulder surgery

The NBA and Miami Heat are reviewing a clip circulating social media that shows Meyers Leonard uttering an anti-Semitic slur during a live stream on his Twitch channel, according to Ira Winderman of the Sun-Sentinel and Shams Charania of The Athletic. The clip was from a stream that aired Monday, but was only posted to social media Tuesday. The Heat announced on Tuesday night that Leonard would be away from the team indefinitely as they cooperate with the league's investigation.
"The Miami Heat vehemently condemns the use of any form of hate speech," the team wrote in a statement.
"The words used by Meyers Leonard were wrong and we will not tolerate hateful language from anyone associated with our franchise. To hear it from a Miami Heat player is especially disappointing and hurtful to all those who work here, as well as the larger South Florida, Miami Heat and NBA communities. Meyers Leonard will be away from the team indefinitely. The Miami Heat will cooperate with the NBA while it conducts its investigation."
Leonard was seen playing "Call of Duty: Warzone," and said "F-----g cowards, don't f-----g snipe at me you f-----g k--- b----." The context of the comment as it relates to his gameplay is not clear as the clip was taken from a stream that was not saved onto his Twitch profile -- streamers can leave older live streams up on their channel if they so choose to.
Wow. Shocking words. But he has apologized. NE Patriots Julian Edelman has reached out to him and hopes this will bring about a positive conclusion to the problem: https://www.upi.com/Sports_News/NFL/202 ... 615429412/

I love college basketball because the players actually have a passion for the game. The NBA is a different story. I never watch the NBA. I just do not enjoy basketball at the NBA level. It is not a fun product to watch for this person. I have a similar opinion of college lax and pro lax. There is a different attitude towards the game by the players when you reach the highest level.MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 9:45 amAnd college basketball is where they go for a year so that they can jump to the NBA.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 9:33 amBecause college basketball is a much better product than anything the NBA has produced in a very long time.

This is all marketing entertainment. The only question is who gets paid and how.
Personally, I'd hate to see actual 'amateur' college sports go away, but I have no issue with recognizing that the big money college level sports currently exploit the 'labor' for immense profits.
It's interesting to me that the league which has the highest # of sports per school and the highest % of athletes relative to the student body also doesn't have any big money making sports...they play the sports, but they're not financial engines paying for the others.
NBA basketball is at a much higher level. Far more coaching in the NBA and skill level ridiculously higher.cradleandshoot wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 10:01 amI love college basketball because the players actually have a passion for the game.

I think basketball folks appreciate the NBA game, relative to the college game, more than non basketball folks. They recognize the differences in overall skill. That said, like anything else it can be fun to watch skilled players passionately playing all out in a fierce competition. That doesn't happen every college game nor every NBA game...but when it does, I think that's what's easiest for the non basketball person to perceive.Typical Lax Dad wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 10:12 amNBA basketball is at a much higher level.
