Great take by Colin, the NBA has been allowing superstars to casually miss games for no reason. The league is taking a hit because of the lack of intensity from players. There’s only a couple of hustle stars. Giannis is basically the only NBA player with a “mamba mentality” humble superstar. Too many guys in the league like Ben Simmons and James Harden who hang out with celebrities and carry themselves like Hollywood actors.
Ask KD and klay about playing injured, you cannot compare a player that only gets one chance to win a National Championship which in most cases is the reason they may or may not make the NBA to a player that have to play 82+ games every year. KD and Klay lost two years of their paying life because they rushed back from injuries. You can't compare the two.
You’re comparing the final four to end of regular season nba games. In the nba playoffs you’ll see all sorts of guys playing hurt and crying when they lose. Apples to oranges
Always!!! Colin and rich eisen are my go to guys man colin keeps it real always besides when he talks about baker and Aaron Rodgers and that’s cuz he hates both of they character
College sports are collaborative and modern. I still think players should receive a W-2, but we'll get there. The NBA is non-collaborative. They use blackouts and exclusivity. It's an old business model and Adam Silver should be fired.
In all fairness, while I do agree with it being nice seeing college players care so much about the game, unlike the NBA, there might not be a tomorrow for many players after their season is over. Guys on that NBA list that didn't play know their run isn't over because they took a night off, which can be taken advantage of at times, but the comparison doesn't really work.
I see his point, but it seems kind of silly to compare the NBA regular season with an NCAA tournament. And the Lakers are virtually eliminated already, it’s just a matter of finishing up the games at this point. Embiid, Gianni, and Jokic had monster games recently, I think they care.
Comparing a kid playing on a sprained ankle for a national championship that he may never get a chance at again to an NBA player in year 19 during a regular season game that he has more of is completely different. Also, Lebron has given the Lakers, which is still the biggest brand in LA relevance. To say that he’s gotten more out of LA is completely ridiculous. Prior to Lebron they had the worst record in the NBA over the last 5 years. He made them a team that national media actually talk about, how many shows had the Lakers listed in their lineup when they were trotting out a team full of nobodies…stop it Colin.
I think his point is that what's gonna happen when LeBron leaves? (probably this offseason)... I'd say an even bigger uphill climb than before he got there. You still take a chip though
What we know. Coach Ks ego squashed the rivalry. His ego. He knew it was his last game at home. He knew it was UNC. he’s got 6 1st round nba players on his team. He knew all this. He wanted a 12 month look at me praise me tour with the end being his final win over unc at home in front of all Duke loving fans former players. He put all his cards on the table for this 1 game. He lost. Humiliated. Yet the basketball gods smiled on him gave him another chance. No bigger stakes than a trip to final 2. He lost again. This has been a what 30 year fight for dominance who’s the best both teams punching each other in the mouth. This because of K he put it all on the line on his way out the door. K did this. Because he thought no way I loose. He lost both times. This rivalry is over. Done. Because of Ks ego. Only way Duke can even remotely get back on top is to beat Carolina in national championship game. Point blank. Duke u can thank ur ego coach K for this. He rolled the dice. You lost. U can win the next 50 in a row. U can’t make up for these 2 losses. Your welcome.
There have been some iconic and legendary moments in the nba playoffs in the past decade but overall March madness is so much more interesting than the nba playoffs. There are some great nba playoff series but big picture it’s not close and if you disagree I’m sure you don’t watch nearly enough college basketball
Lebron also WANTED Ty Lu, Demar Derozan & Caruso. Management wouldn’t give them they years they wanted & to control Ty’s staff which is Jason Kidds staff who is the coach for Mavs. But y’all won’t bring that up right? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE !
Collin is a little out of tuch on this one. Can't compare ncaa to nba...nba are grown men..ncaa are kids..mentality is different and trust me they kids care about getting paid lol
His arguments make littl sense. They’re kids playing in a championship tournament. The nba is grown men playing regular seasons games. It’s their job not a hobby
Knowing when to leave the party really matters….Mike stayed too long and now he’ll have these Tarheel scars forever to remind him of that. Dean Smith did it right…just exit quickly and quietly without the fuss.
Very few leave on top a NC. One has nothing to do with the other. K left this way for recruiting reasons. I don't think he stayed too long, and losing to UNC in the FF has nothing to do with that even if it were true. BTW K's circus took a lot of heat off of Roy Williams, who blamed his own players publicly before bowing out. Players who'd make the national title game the next season without him. No one's perfect.
@@TheWakeup011 I'm a Carolina fan who actually has a lot of respect for Coach K. However, not sure I'd say Williams blamed his players. He in fact said, more than once, that he felt he was not giving his best and was not the best coach for the team. There was an admission that he might not be on the same page as his players, but he took as much - and more - blame for his final season as he placed on his players.
@@garycraig5009 ln the rant that l heard he did just that. Now he was very frustrated and cleaned it up later. I like Roy - l think what you see is what you get. I'll come back to this comment bc ld like to know what you think about something, if you have the time or care to respond.
I’ve said this for years after nfl and college football college basketball is my favorite they actually care the nba don’tl play defense they walk on the court it’s a bunch of divas
Los Angeles ... you're over run with high taxes, some of the highest gas prices in the country, homeless problem is horrendous, crime is rampant (not just in the inner city but now it's at those same beaches, restaurants, celebrity home robberies, and tourist being robbed and assaulted at well know tourist areas - even wilderness areas of hiking, biking, running trails and well known areas where photos are taken with expensive equipment) criminals are laying in wait for you!! Los Angeles, California - if you actually like that sespool then by all means stay there. If you leave, have the courtesy of leaving the lifestyle that created that place behind you as well!!
That's the double edged sword of the NBA. If the player wants riches and fame, then they'll become bratty, whiney, Stuck up and over privileged. That's how college will be soon when the players get tons of money.
Why is Colin comparing NCAA tournament games to regular season NBA games? It's obvious that Colin doesn't watch any regular season college basketball because if you did he would know that star college players sit out regular season games for rest and minor injuries. If it were the NBA finals, players would be much more inclined to play through injuries.
imo... there's no widespread expectation from the NBA for college basketball to prepare or develop players for the league. That's why they only require one and done. So they have no interest in the college game. Compare that to the NFL which uses the college level to develop and help determine who is worthy of being drafted. Its not that the NBA has no interest in the college level's success, but it's significantly less than the NFL.
@@robsmith534 I hadn’t got the part yet when he went deeper into it but like Colin said the nba created the D league to steal HS players which is a waste of money because now they can get NIL money so no point in going to the D league
These college players are trying to secure their futures. The NBA stars are good with where they are in life, so outside of someone like Giannis, a lot of guys in the NBA don't need to exert themselves too much.
and right their is the problem too much of i secure the money im not going to risk it all every night healthy or not to entertain the people that literally pays my salary through tickets
Really can't get on board with this caring disparity. They care about different things. The n.c.a.a. basketball championship game is cared about more, and has less likelihood of boring you than game 75 of the n.b.a. season. Especially when your playoff position isn't going to improve, even if you win a game that shouldn't be missed. Pay the college players and see how many games they miss because they are going to be paid even if they don't play. The Carolina player doesn't have another big game after the championship game. So of course he cares more.
In the nba you got a decaded in your prime 2 win while in college kids r going 2 school have less time 2 work on there body's and there game Its one off tourment you lose You lose a game here and there in the regualer season it alters your seeding the region you play in
That NBA/NCAA comparison is one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Do people actually enjoy this type of sports talk or only watch to agree and/or hate? This is dumb af.
College basketball is all about the sport, the team, the prestige, and the tradition. NBA has gone to become an uninteresting league, led by the most uncharacteristic superstar in its history, Lebron James. No intensity, all "woke" drama. No defense, 50% of shots being a 3-point shoot around. Even with the better medical and nutrition science can provide compared to 20-30 years ago, there are still the same or even more injuries to star players (who do not play defense and most of the time shoot threes LOL) than ever before. There was a reason why basketball became a global sport, and the NBA being interesting, even when dynasties were created every 4-5 years (1980s - Lakers, Celtics, Pistons 1990s - Bulls). It was a showcase every single night, superstars playing with intensity and passion, fans loving every minute of it, and greatness was not a matter of fame or money or brand, it was about the sport.
Duke vs. UNC was nice and all, but the quality of play is bad in this tournament. I like to watch great athletes. College basketball doesn't have many.
@@claramourine2368 That's why you need the help of a professional like Mr Christian Thomas Clinton who trade and understand the market more to earn good income, these professionals understand the market like it's there own farm and make s maximum profit for investors.
As a lakers fan, we just won a chip 🏆 less than 2 yrs ago. MoST teams never even win 1 and it's very difficult to win back to back. So it's fine if we have a few down years. Yall laker hatin commentators have some ridiculous takes.... 🤡 shyt today Colin.
I suspect there are a few administrators at Duke who are glad to have control over their men's basketball program... and they have Jon Scheyer on a short leash because he wasn't their choice.
Colin is pro lebron he never says anything bad about him besides this and you can tell by his voice it hurts him to talk bad about him he’s just stating the obvious tho lebron made them gut the roster and for what Pelicans(who are basically the lakers pre-lebron ) arena fringe playoff team getting. Better the lakers OLD Hurt and falling out the playoffs
this is an awful take . comparing nba players sitting out regular season games to guys not wanting to sit out the finals . if you want nba guys to care more and not sit out games make the season have less games . college basketball players play 25 reg season games a year vs 82 in the nba.
So you talked about everything but the national championship this is the worst sports podcast on RUclips GTFOH!!! Because Colin cowherd don’t like to talk about the Midwest all I’m so sorry! RockChalk!!!
Watch What’s Wright? with Nick Wright: sprtspod.fox/WhatsWright_YT
And you were wrong. Go Heels.
I’d expect college kids to have more emotional reactions to losing because they have a very very small window to win with their teammates and coach.
And many of them literally cannot afford to lose. Sports are still their ticket out.
It’s rigged bro lol
College basketball has changed recently but the one thing that won’t change is how much people still care about this sport.
For three weeks a year.
Didnt watch the NCAA tournament...looking at highlights as Colin talks now.
@@nickbarcheck1019 still 3 more weeks than baseball
@@josiahvincent1511 Being more popular than baseball is a pretty low bar. You may want to aim a little higher.

Great take by Colin, the NBA has been allowing superstars to casually miss games for no reason. The league is taking a hit because of the lack of intensity from players.

@@michaeldemarco2415 and leave out info when it's convenient but then again all these talking heads do (I'm looking at you Nick wright)

can't compare a final 4 game to a regular season game.
Collin is a little out of tuch on this one. Can't compare ncaa to nba...nba are grown men..ncaa are kids..mentality is different and trust me they kids care about getting paid lol
Comparing a national championship game to a regular season weekend is kinda unfair. Wouldn’t you think. Players play hurt in the playoffs.
