i don't consider them to have an east coast bias
but more of a Yankees-Cowboys-Lakers-Duke-Alabama-Packers-Patriots-RedSox-Dodgers-Tiger Woods bias. They just play to the teams with the hottest followings. You can add the Heat to that list but the moment Lebron James leaves the Heat will become nationally irrelevant again. Same with whenever Nick Saban leaves Alabama.
Oh and I guess the REd Wings but ESPN's hockey coverage has been minimal since they stopping carrying NHL games awhile ago.
ESPN really ignores the midwest hardcore...but they love the east coast and west coast. and

Yeah I think the ESPN bias is a bit exaggerated. They give a lot of coverage to a lot of big market teams, which includes New York franchises, but they usually crap on the New York teams and talk about how badly they're doing.
The sport that ESPN covers more than any other sport bar none is college football, and they ride SEC's dick like none other. So you could almost say they have a Dirty South bias.
-
yep, they love the SEC more than anything.
oh and on an unreleased note, i HATE jeremy schapp. he sucks ass and his stories are boring as fuck. his father was a sports jouranlism legend though.

Please don't say Magic was better than Jordan

ESPN loves lebron.
ESPN hasnt been so far friendly about the lakers for the past what? 8 years? especially anti-kobe (im sure the rape case had a little bit to do with it)
but lakers hands down is the best basketball franchise in the world.
yes bill russel won 11, but in what? a 8 team league?
the lakers from Mikan and Jim Pollard to West, Wilt, Goodrich (so sad that Elgin Baylor the protoype for Dr.J, MJ, Drexler, Kobe, T-Mac, Carter, etc etc couldnt win won with them, retired halfway through the season the year that they won), to Kareem, Magic, Worthy, Cooper, Byron, Wilkes, Norm Nixon, to Shaq, Kobe (8), Fisher, Shaw, Rice, Horry, Fox, To Kobe (24), Pau, Bynum, Odom, Farmar, Vujacic, Ariza, Artest
its a no brainer, we've been consistent with talent and championship contention (and championships) for little over half a century.
no other franchise comes even close, not even those green bastards.

Please don't say Magic was better than Jordan
WHY NOT? THERE ARE A LOT OF PLAYERS WHO WERE ON JORDAN'S LEVEL, JUST NOT AS GLORIFIED, MOSTLY DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY DIDNT ENTER THE LEAGUE IN A DAY AND AGE WHEN MARKETING BEGAN TAKING OFF....BE A LAMB, NOT A SHEEP. I KNOW U HOLD JORDAN CLOSE TO UR HEART BECAUSE HE DEFINES THE 90S, BUT MAGIC WAS THE GREATEST AT WHAT HE DID, JUST LIKE JORDAN...JORDAN HAD MORE ENDORSEMENT OPPURTUNITIES; HE WAS THE FIRST FACE OF THE LEAGUE IN TERMS OF BRANDING- SPACE JAM, NIKE, GATORADE, WHEATIES...THESE OPPURTUNITIES PROPELLED JORDAN TO BEIN VIEWED AS A LARGER THAN LIFE FIGURE....OSCAR ROBERTSON AND ELGIN BAYLOR NEVER HAD THESE SAME OPPURTUNITIES, BUT HAD THEY ENTERED THE LEAGUE IN 84, WE'D BE HEARIN THEIR NAMES INSTEAD OF JORDAN'S.......IN TERMS OF BASKETBALL SKILL, THERE ARE ABOUT 10 NBA PLAYERS WHO WERE THE BEST AT WHAT THEY DID.. THEY ALL GET A 10/10 AND NONE IS GREATER THAN THE OTHER. MAGIC IS ONE OF 'EM. JORDAN BEIN TALKED ABOUT LIKE SOME MYTHICAL CREATURE WHO WAS HEAD-AND-SHOULDERS ABOVE ANYONE WAS ALL A PRODUCT OF DAVID STERN AND THE NBA, BECAUSE THEY HAD AN AGENDA, AND THAT AGENDA IS A PRIME EXAMPLE OF PROPOGANDA. DON'T GET ME WRONG, JORDAN IS UNTOUCHABLE, I AINT SAYIN OTHERWISE, BUT THE GENERAL MASSES WERE MADE TO VIEW HIM AS A GOD AMONGST MEN, AND THE BULLS IN THE 80S WOULDA NEVER THREEPEATED WITH THE SHOWTIME LAKERS AND LARRY BIRD'S CELTICS AROUND.
-
the only players you can compare to MJ are either Oscar Robertson and Lebron James based on a pure talent stand point or Bill Russell placed on a winner and MVP standpoint.
anyways 17 > 16 fake titles don't count.
-
the only players you can compare to MJ .. LeBron James
prime example of how marketing owns the mind of the average consumer
and this guy calls himself a celtic fan...he said lebron james before he said larry bird :stupid:
