On today’s edition of The Odd Couple with Rob Parker & Kelvin Washington, the guys debate whether the NBA Cup is an actual beneficial NBA product & why Rob thinks it’s just fraudulent.
Rob Parker: "The NBA In-Season Tournament is the biggest Fraud in Sports! Stop dressing up a pig & telling us that it's cute, cause it ain't cute. It's another regular season game with the ugly basketball floor that they put on for this to try to sell. This is something that I should care about? It can't get any worse than this. You know how you want to make the games more important & make people want to watch them this time of the year? Don't put half in freaking more than half of the league in the playoffs. Make them actually have to earn it."
Kelvin Washington: “Nobody is acting like this is replacing the NBA Finals, nobody's replacing the NBA playoffs. This is simply something fun for the NBA to do to get fans engaged, get players engaged early season when most of our attention is on football. The NBA is just saying, ‘hey, let's sprinkle a little something out there.’ Last season, it ended up being fun. Just fun. Nobody was saying it was life changing.”
