Was this the craziest 24hrs in basketball history?
Was this the craziest 24hrs in basketball history?
Started yesterday with news that one of one of the greatest of all time was joining one of the greatest franchises of all time. Headlines all around the world that this massive move actually happened.
Fast forward 12hrs and an international match between two of the biggest basketball loving nations ends in arguably the 2nd worst brawl in basketball history. Calls for players/officials to have lengthy bans and charges, as well as a country to be thrown out of the World Cup.
Another 12hrs later and news breaks that arguably the best center in the league takes a massive paycut to join the NBA champions and 4 other all stars to form what is by far the best 'on paper' starting 5 in NBA history. A move that many think has killed the league.
Off the top of my head it's hard to think of a 24 hour period in basketball history where so much has happened, so many huge bombshells and headlines were made that sent the world into a frenzy. News and social media are blowing up with all 3.
