I think this is a waste of time. I was hoping international teams were able to play in these tournaments
This will not work. Players will choose to sit out and load manage just like they do in the regular season.
Silver has licked China's boots for so long he has morphed into a lizard. Look at him, he could do Geiko commercials in his spare time.
what channel will these be one ?abc tnt espn?
the winner should get an automatic bid into playoffs
So how many games in the regular season now?
What y’all think About This
Pathetic
I think 500k definitely gives these guys some motivation to take this serious and have some fun. Just hope no one gets injured during this mess
If you hate Malik’s Andrew hit the 👍🏾.
Smoke and Mirrors The NBA ratings and products are so bad they need a (In season tournament). I stopped truly following the NBA yrs ago . Kinda just watch Steph
Why not involve European teams – like the FIFA club World Cup? I’d love to see Madrid, or Barcelona play GSW, Denver…
Did he say Grizzlies got Ja? Wouldn't he be missing this because of the toy gun?
Let the winner get an automatic playoff spot
so it's just the champions league but it's basketball
This will be incredibly good or incredibly stupid. We shall see
Nah. 30 team. In 1 list of standing mix west and east… 16 team 1st round 8 team 2nd round, 4 team 3round.. 2 team in the Finals…
Letting that Goofy lady host was a mistake.
Shs got them Chicken legs 😂😂
Please get rid of malika
They really fired van gundy and kept malika…. like whos pp is she keeping wet in espn/disney??
I'm not excited for this. It is a non-championship championship money grab. An event designed to charge NBA fans extra money.
This is a consolation prize for those who can't win the chip XD
I feel like this is pointless if it doesn’t include different leagues. Why give the two wildcard slots away to NBA teams when it could be a European group and a Miscellaneous Group for all non-USA or EU teams.
Now that I want to see.
Winner of those eight groups go to quarter finals and so on. Now you’re an international sport!
Chose Las Vegas as a teaser fkr the next expansion team
Lakers and Warriors are still the 2 most famous teams hahaha
Awful
I can see Charlotte winning a cup
Man said Ja and Memphis when he won’t be playing
I’ve been saying this for years , finally it’s happening!
