Does size matter? 🤔 I’m ok with deferring to Giannis’ and Shaq’s perspective in that department.

Really, most of America sees Golden State and LA mainly. I never see NY.

Shaq is correct. Social media is now the market. It’s why SAS invested so heavily into making a podcast. Because social media dictates popularity now.

I wouldn’t say it’s meaningless but it’s not NEARLY as big a deal as it was when Shaq left for LA

Giannis has nothing to prove. he already proven himself he can win unlike other stars. Stephen A. Is just a hypocrite cause he just want to milk it by talking crops.
@Gravyman
June 5, 2025 at 9:44 pm
Big market success is finacially great for the league, less so for the players. But it’s also Giannis’ decision if he just wants to be somewhere new or sunny. He already knows he’s not gonna make the supermax.

Size matters. To the point that LBJ went to LA because he wanted to meet the right people for life after basketball

I’m so glad we could hear such wisdom and NBA insight from Martha Mcnutt!
I sit on the edge of my seat every day waiting to hear clear analysis and commentary every morning she’s on First Take. MM 😊

I don’t know about y’all but are we not watching this clip on a social media app? I’m not watching this live on tv rather on my tablet. ESPN gets more views from social media. People love the star not the market.

If u can play eyes and attention will be on u anyway,, besides small market teams pay more..
@loslakers530
June 5, 2025 at 10:21 pm
I don’t know if trades will work for small market teams winning titles. Teams like the Spurs, GSW and that one year of Milwaukee drafted well and won multiple titles of certain players they drafted

Of course, Stephen A “everyone should sign with the Lakers” Smith would disagree with this.

Espn is basically begging giannis to leave Milwaukee but the Bucks brought his family over from Greece when he was drafted and the city of Milwaukee embraced him very early and clearly that means something to him let the make make his own decision
