Nzoner's Game Room>Toronto Raptors to play in KC for 2021 season?
Deberg_1990 08:31 PM 10-27-2020

KC mayor Quinton Lucas, US Senators Roy Blunt, Pat Roberts and Jerry Moran, and US Rep Emanuel Cleaver co-signed a letter to the NBA commissioner's office and Raptors ownership making the case for Kansas City to be the temporary home, if needed.

Never thought I’d type this but Kansas City is legit pursuing an NBA team. Here’s the latest, including three irrefutable takeaways: https://t.co/ZrkvFqUE6F

Attended a Hawks/Heat playoff game in Atlanta years ago while working there for a bit, and even though it didn't change my apathy towards the style of play in the NBA, the entertainment value was great (and I assume Atlanta isn't the best example of NBA playoff atmosphere, of course).

The talent is undeniably better than the college game, which makes it worse when Dwyane Wade is trying to draw fouls and flop around like a fish out of water instead of draining baskets from anywhere on the floor.

Thought it was a fun atmosphere though... if the Suns weren't garbage, I'd attend a game or two (if tickets aren't insane).

Let's steal their team and keep it.

We probably would have had a shot had the entire Golden State Warrior team not got hurt in the 2019 NBA Finals. Now Toronto suddenly cares about the team more than they did prior to 2019.

I went to a Suns game once and they were parachuting down Carls Jr burgers from the rafters while blasting hip hop. It was like a basketball game broke out in the middle of a street carnival.

I didn't mind it.

I heard on 610 the NBA will be looking for a city in the Eastern time zone kind of limiting KC’s chances.

Also, currently the NBA is looking at ‘no fans’ for 20-21. This would make our attempt of a ‘temporary tryout’ a difficult one. Maybe some of the fan restrictions changes though as we move forward.

I have very little interest in the NBA, but I would definitely follow it a little more if KC gets the Raptors. Even if it’s just one year.

Anyone who actually gets excited watching the NBA must have absolutely no entertainment alternatives.

Compared too....? I can see why football would be entertaining but baseball is just terrible. If I wasn't a Royals fan or forced to play baseball growing up by my parents I would hate it.

Hockey looks entertaining on the surface, but everytime I try to watch a game I get really bored unless I'm actually there. Even then I start nodding off unless some guy tries to stab another guy with a skate or something.

Hockey is a good time in small doses.
Soccer is dreadful
College Basketball is awesome stuff

Id rate watching reruns of Bass Fishing over any NBA stuff

I love college basketball. I'm with you there. I just don't understand how people who love college basketball hate NBA so much. It just baffles me. Everyone who loves college football also loves the NFL for the most part.

There's just nothing like it in all of sports.

TV does not translate the NBA at all.
I saw Kobe/LeBron at Staples and thought 'meh'.

I honestly enjoy a frenzied atmosphere at Allen Field House (and the college game itself) over the NBA any day.

Completely different game.

There's not as much difference between college and pro football (though some might say offenses are even more creative in college).

Many of us are old enough to remember the Kings. Olberding and Larry Drew were fun but I did not freak the **** out. Different game back then.

Most memorable game: we were winning by 1 vs. heavily-favored Philly - Moses Malone dribbles the whole damn length of the floor to make a layup to win.
