NBA In-Season Tournament Explained by Richard Jefferson

This is dumb. Ratings Ratings Ratings. Money driven Evil

this idea is so stupid

What’s up with the pentagrams?

Vegas Baby Vegas! 😂 just give Vegas sn NBA Team already 😂

mini NBA Final Four? M

What kind of satanic illuminati tournament is this? Am I the only one seeing this

So it’s basically a fake wannabe championship that has nothing to do with the real playoffs or championship. As if…

LeBron made sure to make it, so did Giannis but Indy and Zion stands in the way for each other

How much is the NBA making off this tournament because their not paying the players hardly anythin?.

More pressure. More money. More injuries.

"NBA cup" what a joke😂

This was clearly meant for people like me ... People who dont watch NBA until APRIL because i like playoff basketball

They need something like this in college football

this format sucks.

who cares! whoever wins gets no love. just like 2020 — champs deserve a plastic trophy! 🤣 stupid money grab. 👎🏽 real fans don’t GAF

Eh, not mad at it. Wish it was easier to comprehend. Feels like an old person explaining the rules to a card game no one cares about

So is this a way to give people more hardware to chase legends? Cause an in season tournament win and an NBA finals win isn't even close.

So what happens if the In Season Tournament winner doesn’t make the playoffs? I don’t see the point of this other than a marketing ploy to make more money

This tournament is stupid

Seems extremely pointless. Would’ve been better if it would’ve benefited them in the main playoffs. I doubt anyone will care

The final game doesn’t matter then 😂 think lebron cares about that money? He’d rather rest

So they're basically just playing for a trophy and nothing else? Sorry I'm way late to the game. 🤦🏿‍♂️

The NBA is doing fine. No need for this silliness. Seems desperate and thirsty to me. NBA Finals is all you need. Best of the Best !

This is stupid

Must be low ratings same as the NFL all conservative and Republicans are boycotting the NFL because of their gay and transsexual agenda me and all my friends are boycotting them😊

All conservative and Republicans are boycotting the NFL due to their weird cheerleaders all of my white friends and black friends are boycotting them.. even my Asian friends and Mexicans to too

Didn’t the guy used to have hair?

Is this video satire? Because 60% of what Richard says doesn't make any logical sense.

i wish kobe will know this first tournament game :(

Memorized by the presentation, (flashy like ps5 graphic interface). Not amused by the concept. The name "IST" is bland and unappealing. NBA Cup is too cliché and anodyne to let's say a name like "Champion's League". Watching the final game was like watching an early season blow out but with more glitz.

R.I.P NBA

Damn, they gonna make the road to nba finals much grueling. Players gonna take early injuries by taking this sub tournament serious. (I recall LeBron only have Delavedova in the late post season in cavs since their key players are injured 😂 Warriors took advantage of it 😂). From the perspective from the viewers, these games are good because MOST non star players are just cruising during regular season 😂

This sounds dumb, I don't get it.

This why nobody cares about NBA. This why your losing viewers to College Women basketball...women basketball I repeat.

If this has no implication towards the playoff why should I care?

What a joke!

If the cup mattered in the NBA darvin ham would still have his job, Lakers won the cup

Im just learning about this now but it seems stupid af

This was made for teams that wouldn’t win the Championship. This ones A Joke

What a joke

I think if you win you should get a extra pick that is automatically in the top five draft second place top 10 and third place should be just a extra 2nd round pick

77899 Cremin Port

I thought this was just in 2k lol

So desperate and pathetic. And the courts are so trash with the design. What are you doing NBA...

but whats the incentive for winning?

Just stupid
let me explain...
early season is boring..
dumbshit silver is manufacturing a fake competition....no real NBA competitors give a crap about this nonsense.....the stupid painted floor makes it hard to follow.....the actual rules are BS and unclear.....desperate....

has it really come to this

This makes absolutely no type of sense once or ever

Anything to get people to watch NBA. How about bring back physical play, tougher defense, and penalty fine for resting players during regular season. Fans paid to see not players on the bench cause the are tired
