This is my final warning to NBA broadcasters everywhere. In fact, this could be considered DTB’S OFFICIAL FINAL WARNING: if you don’t start showing timely replays of every sick whamjam that takes place in the games that you broadcast, I’m going to sue you.
That’s right, bitches. We’re talking lawsuits here.
In what other industry would this kind of blatant negligence and incompetence be acceptable? If the cutey-pie freckle girl at McDonalds gets my order for two hashy-browns and two cinny-melts incorrect, she gets canned faster than Ronald McDonald can say “I’m loving it.” If a police officer just shoots dudes for no reason, he’ll get canned too (except not really). Heck, even if athletes themselves turn out to be garbage at their particular sport, they get waived and have to play in dingy Euro arenas for the rest of their lives. So why do the people who run NBA broadcasts continue to be able to get away with not showing a replay when, for example, Kelly Oubre cocks the ball all the way back behind his head and then throws it down with enough force that it triggered tsunami warnings in Japan?
I mean, he COCKED that ball. HARD. In cocking it so hard, he actually cocked the whole Hornets team. With his ball. And there was no replay.
My lawyer is already drafting the necessary paperwork. If this situation is not rectified within the next 24 hours, expect to get served some juicy-ass lawsuits. Which I will win. FINAL WARNING OFFICIALLY OVER.
