The NBA needs to make Rivalry Week a way bigger thing, because if you didn't know this started
0:05
last night, then welcome to the club. So yeah, last night was the start of a week-long series of matchups in the NBA featuring rivalries

And by the way, this is the Bounce.ai app, it's 100% free, it's where I go to get all
0:17
my post-game stats and reports like this one. But then in the night game, the Nuggets blew out the Sixers, because of course Joel Embiid
0:24
ducked Jokic again. And Bounce has this funny new feature where you can chat with AI versions of NBA players
0:30
And even Jokic was like, yeah, it's ridiculous that Embiid doesn't play. And yeah, I think this is one of the real problems affecting NBA ratings right now
0:37
It's that the NBA doesn't really have any rivalries. Players across the league are just too buddy-buddy these days
0:43
And while I do think there are fair things to blame it on, like even AAU culture, I also don't think the league does a good job of promoting the rivalries they do have
0:50
And then you look at the schedule the league came up with, And it's just like, why do half the teams not even get a rivalry game
0:57
The NBA needs more beef, man
