Anybody else notice that in all nba.com recap and highlights, usually the other team gets the most coverage. its kinda pissing me off. Even when the raptors win the game, the other team gets more highlights in the beginning and then they just sum it up with the raptors winning in the last minutes of the fourth quarter.

So does having a highlight reel player.
I agree with the current bias but do people not remember the Vince years before he became Wince? He led off SportsCentre every night and was routinely the highlight of the night. Basically the Clippers/Blake now = the Raptors/Wince then.

The guy truly has multiple options as a talent to create his shot when it counts....and makes things happen. So I dont begrudge him making the hilite reel. A dunk to me in the 2-3rd qtr is meaningless (unless truly spectacular).“I have no idea who Chukwudiebere Maduabum is, but on his Draft Express profile, he’s listed as Chu Chu. I think he’s worthy of picking just for that. He immediately is in the running for best All-Time NBA name.” -Tim W.

Demar and Amir are more than occasionally on the highlights, but id still want to see a raps game on a US network.

I do understand the NBA catering more to the US audience since ESPN and TNT are solely US networks, but they have to understand that Toronto has US players too, and can also use the exposure.
