That is incorrect. Stockton didn’t become a main starter at the PG position until his fourth season. No matter, since it’s well accepted that Stockton>Nash.

Hey thanks! The interesting thing too is that it’s not just related to sports, but MDMs really do affect everything in life. The sad thing is that they are mostly random quick quips that people say and then catch on. Except for politics where it’s a little more sinister and they actually hire people to write sound bites to be dispersed to the public and have talking points. Not a lot different in sports though too, since you can hear the announcers deciding what they’re going to say sometimes when they think the mics are off after commercial breaks. I’m sure they saw the graphic they were going to load up and had a little chat about how they were going to slam the Hawks and then came up with those lame comments on the fly.

That was a well-written, well-thought out article about a subject that has bothered me for some time now. The news media has long forgotten any integrity that they should follow in reporting the actual truth-driven news and spends all available resources trying to entertain the markets with the most eyes.

Thanks. Honestly it’s getting pretty sad when people who are influencing countless numbers of opinions don’t even know, or take into account, the ages of players on a team. It’s like, they get the memo… we are supposed to dog on this team. Then just say a generic list of disparaging comments about the player to make it look like they are soft and not competitive because of their inherent ‘weaknesses’. The toughest players always happen to come from the teams that win. It’s because they’re tough… not cuz they overwhelmingly crush their opponents with superior talent. Yep.

Nice article. One thing it proves is that analysts tell people what they WANT to hear. I can’t tell whether Barkley and Reggie voiced their TRUE opinions, or if they just said what they were paid to say.
