Is it a problem for the NBA that the Warriors and Cavs are playing for the fourth consecutive year in the NBA finals?
Yes it is a problem. This is and always has been a knock on the NBA.“Regular season doesn’t matter. It’s going to be the Warriors and Cavs in the final”Sure the NBA will spin it to be a rivalry and put the superstars in the commercials but it cannot change that narrative.When you have 30 teams and an 82 game season, it is exhausting to the NBA fans. Compare this with the NFL’s 16 game season where every game counts.The NBA has a problem with teams resting players and owners like Mark Cuban saying that they might as well tank.However, the real problem lies in the length of the season and the desire to extract a long profitable regular season out of the teams.Fans love underdogs. They want to enter every season with a plausible chance they could win the championship. When you have the same two teams going to the finals for 4 years straight, that hurts.For sure I will watch because I love watching the style of play of the Warriors.But for the new fan, the casual fans, and the league they should address the imbalance in the league in the coming years.
Who are the best football commentators?
My all time Favourite commentator is Martin Tyler.From Aagguueerrooo to Oh Messi the guy probably ruled my heart.I don't know why but i love his voice,its so much higher toned that if the match is boring still his commentary covers it up.He always highers my excitement to watch a match.After Tyler,Rob Palmer comes to my list.He mostly is the commentator of La Liga matches so i hear his voice almost in every match.I think i pretty much like his accent..His most memorable commentary for me will be Barcelona 3-2 Madrid.Those words this is were the extra man is paying of,one final roll in the dice can they hit the jackpot,Andre Gomes Jordi Alba Lionel messssiii oh my goodness lionel Messi does it again he is a superhuman when messi was booked for celebration those words book me jail me handcuff me he doesn't careNow this list is usless without mentioning the premier league duo peter Drury and Jim Beglin.You probably can't witness the excitement without their voice.There are a lot of good commentators so google about them.Also their voice can be found on YouTube,so with headphones it might give you goosebumps.P.S-Can someone acknowledge me who was the commentator during Chelsea vs Bayern Ucl final the one when Drogba scored a goal and he commentated Droogggbbaa What about that
What are the best documentaries on Muhammad Ali?
AKA Cassius Clay is a great documentary that was done in 1970, between the time his title was taken away and he was about to return to the ring. It's the most accurate film regarding how he was percieved at the time without a sentimental look back. The Real Muhammad Ali as he was in 1970. The BBC Documentary "The Greatest" (Not to be confused with the bio-pic "The Greatest" where Ali played himself) is the best for footage and to get a grasp on the times and opinions of people on the street as well. It also contains great information about the people behind the scenes. "Through the Eyes of the World" probably crams the most information, but is also alot of talking heads and warmth without perspective. Very entertaining though...It's a good starting point.
