Upcoming against Thunder will speak volumes

Sneaking by the Kings in a slopfest was nothing to write home about...but gutting out a win from 10 down at the end of a trip over Denver showed a lot of guts last night. Hornets/Thunder/Knicks/Bucks are 4 of the first 5 coming back, and the Harden first impression period will be over...will find out a ton about this team by March 1.

In 60+ years (probably a lot less) all "professional" sports will be virtual. That's your "hard reset".

Why pay real Pat Mahomes $50 million a year when you can pay virtual Matt Pahomes zero? The entertainment value will be the same (or better) and you will still be able to bet on the games (with far less shenanigans because virtual players won't "throw" games).

As far as markets go, it will be the entire world because you can locate a virtual team anywhere and the virtual players can all be "local" so the fans will have an immediate connection with their team.

Music and movies are already going virtual/AI. Can sports be far behind?

I bet Drake Maye wished that the Seattle defense was comprised of virtual players.

Would you get in trouble for virtually shooting Taylor Swift and Mahomes in this brave new world?

For now, I guess. But in 60 years? I don't see Mumbai or Santiago being real excited to join the nfl. I'll be like, enough already. But dissecting the author's reasoning requires reading the book, or maybe the NYT article, and I have yet to do either. Besides, I can't get past the disadvantages for a team flying 9+ hours to play football.

For college, as I stated earlier, we're the only country on the planet that has college sports anywhere near this level.

in 60+ years I'll be dead so I don't really give a fuck to be honest.

After 2 games Harden has been as advertised. Maybe, and I mean MAYBE based on his past history, he is motivated to make this work. It’s possible that adding him and getting rid of the 2 malcontents and the guy who could never stay healthy is what this team needed (don’t sleep on Schroeder either). One figures there’d be a bump immediately, we’ll see how they come out after the break (and hopefully they can beat the Wizards Wednesday)

Eh I don't think so. People are still going to want real sports with real people.
