[QUOTE="TheFameProtector, post: 1676155, member: 517079"] Somewhat of an aside, but an obnoxious side effect of social media following as it relates to basketball is how it pays to have a particular kind of game, ie, one that is showy. Now that money is even more immediately tied to a following, it incentivizes (for those unable to make in-game windmill dunks) the kind of play that may not always be the best basketball play. Swatting a shot as far out of bounds as possible, as opposed to keeping it in play. Making the flashy pass (very relevant for us) rather than the simple one with a higher probability of success. Basketball has already been trending this way for a long time with social and traditional media, but it'll interesting to see if the potential to monetize this type of playing style has any pronounced impact.
