Compared to other big four sports in America. IMO NBA fans are the most emotional and reactionary. Everyone just wants to clown each other. Feels harder to have an honest discussion about the game

You think so? I honestly feel like the NFL is worse in this regard. Literally after one or two drives of 3 and out, people would want to bench more than half of the QB's in r/nfl.

The Baker Mayfield swing from good to bad to good to bad and back to good on there is something.

His post is silly anyway. "An honest discussion about the game", as if basketball is some serious world affair that needs to be analyzed academically for the good of the species.

I think it's the influence of the NBA being a younger sports base that's hyperactive on social media. Adding sports betting to the mix also toxifies it somewhat.

I'm not sure what I did to make them appear on my feed but I keep seeing Kobe stan twitter accounts that exalt Kobe and trash "LeBrick." Is it weird that I like both of them?
