I was under the impression that Toronto fans couldn’t get enough of Norman Powell, but apparently my impression is mis-impressioned because the OFFICIAL NORMAN POWELL VIDEO VIEW COUNT WATCH doesn’t lie:
Norman Powell 19 Points Full Highlights (10/30/2019): 706 views
Norman Powell 18 Points Full Highlights (11/8/2019): 506 views
Norman Powell 26 Points Full Highlights (11/16/2019): 614 views
What the balls? Raptors fans would happily sit through an hour of Terence Davis highlights if I were to provide it to them, but their enthusiasm for Normal Powenn has never been lower, even when Powell is having legitimately exciting games for their team. Do they not remember how badly this guy destroys the Bucks at every opportunity? Do they not care that he also reserves slightly smaller, but still sizable, amounts of destruction for every other team in the league?
I am this close, THIS CLOSE, to using one of those view-buying services to get a bunch of Russian bots to watch these Powell vids. For a relatively small outlay of money, I can create the impression that Powell is the most popular player in the NBA. Which he should be, if Raptors fans were doing their jobs. But Raptors fans are being NEGLIGENT right now so getting 100,000 views from botnetted Soviet Bloc computers is the only other option.
