Behind the Line

LeBron James was bounced from the playoffs two weeks ago...yet he's still finding a way to keep his name in the headlines. LeBron went on a social media rant yesterday...saying he warned the NBA before the season that there would be a rash of injuries to players due to the quick turnaround.

We look into LeBron's comments...and explain why Adam Silver had no choice but to start the NBA regular season as soon as possible. We look into the injury rate from this season...and determine if more injuries occurred this season than they did last year.

We also explain that quick turnaround or not...both LeBron James and Anthony Davis likely would've suffered injuries at some point this season anyway.

There were a couple of things that David Griffin and the New Orleans Pelicans needed to accomplish this offseason. They accomplished one of those Wednesday...when they agreed to part ways with Stan Van Gundy.

This could be the most important head coaching hire in the history of the Pelicans franchise...with many qualified head coaching candidates available. However...we're now hearing reports that Teresa Weatherspoon is under consideration???

We explain why hiring Teresa Weatherspoon would be a monumental mistake...and how this is not the time for the Pelicans to bow to the woke community.

Kevin Durant proved in Game 5 that he was the best player in the world...but that's not the only thing he proved. Durant and the Brooklyn Nets also exposed Giannis Antetokounmpo. Game 5 was proof that Giannis is not a superstar level player in the NBA.

We analyze Game 5 between the Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets...and explain how the Bucks lost this game. This was the most important game of the series...and in typical Bucks fashion...they found a way to mess it up.

We also explain how Game 5 will be the reason Mike Budenholzer gets fired...and how is lack of adjustments are detrimental to this team.

Charles Barkley has never been one to mince words...but even he has had his speech stifled by woke television executives. Barkley made headlines earlier this week after he attacked cancel culture...and the cowardly executives at TNT.

We look into his comments...and show how the wokers have managed to remove the fun from television...and make everything politically correct. We explain how it would only take one television network to stand up to wokers...and their ratings would soar while other networks would follow.

We also explain how television networks going woke has led to a mass exodus of on-air talent.

The WNBA has been in existence for 25 years. In that 25 years...the league has failed to turn a profit. On average...the WNBA loses roughly $10 million per season. If it weren't for the NBA subsidizing the WNBA...the league wouldn't exist.

WNBA players are calling for larger shares of the league's revenue. WNBA players want to be compensated "fairly"...and want their revenue sharing to match the revenue sharing NBA players receive.

We explain why this shouldn't happen...and why WNBA players should be thankful the league is still operating. We also make the case for shutting down the WNBA...and how if that happened...very few people would care.

Anthony Davis is a top-5 player in the NBA...there's no denying it. However...there is a difference in being a top-5 player because of you're talent...and being the face of a franchise. Jared Dudley commented the other day that Anthony Davis will be stepping into the LeBron James leadership role...as soon as next season.

We explain why this will be disastrous for the Los Angeles Lakers. We also compare Anthony Davis to Damian Lillard and Luka Doncic...two superstars who are not only talented...but have the ability to lead their respective teams to the playoffs every year.

HBO Max released the trailer for LFG...the documentary covering Megan Rapinoe and the United States women's soccer team. One focus of the documentary is the fact that women are paid less than men in sports.

Megan Rapinoe claims women should be paid equal to men...because they're doing the same job. This sounds well in theory...but it's not true. We explain why women are paid less than men in sports.

We present facts and figures proving why men are compensated at higher rates than woman. We also prove there is no bias against women in sports...and show the way women can be paid the same as men.

The Boston Celtics recently promoted former head coach Brad Stevens to the front office...leaving a vacancy at the head coaching position. According to former Celtics legend Cedric Maxwell...the new head coach must be a person of color.

We go over Maxwell's comments on the Celtics hiring process...and show how his strategy is the opposite of equality. The Celtics should hire the best coach for their organization...it should have nothing to do with race.

We also give an example of what the NBA would look like if it were truly equal and diverse...and explain why a diverse NBA would fail.

If you Google NBA Playoff Ratings 2021...the headlines you'll see from the woke sports media all share the same narrative. The media is claiming that NBA playoff ratings are surging for the 2021 postseason.

However...this simply isn't the case. We breakdown the NBA's playoff ratings for the first and second round of the playoffs...and show how ratings are actually down double digits when compared to 2019. In some cases...ratings are even down from the record low ratings from the 2020 postseason.

We also explain why we're not getting the truth from the mainstream sports media.

Over the past year...Stephen A Smith has went from being a respected journalist and NBA analyst...to a professional race baiter. He has become ESPN's female version of Jemele Hill. With Stephen A...everything is about race.

Friday morning on ESPN First Take...Stephen A Smith pulled the race card AGAIN. This time...his victim was Mike D'Antoni. D'Antoni is being considered for the Portland Trail Blazers head coaching position. According to Stephen A Smith...it's due to his white privilege.

We decimate Stephen A and his woke take on Mike D'Antoni...and explain why him being considered in Portland isn't white privilege. We also show how African American head coaches in the NBA have been given multiple opportunities at head coaching positions...even after failing in their previous stints.
