☆ The NBA In-Season Tournament is confusing people. Ratings are still through the roof

The NBA In-Season Tournament, running this year for the first time, is the league’s idea for that mid-season boost. The media rights to NBA games are up after the 2024-2025 season, and the tournament could make the NBA’s television rights more lucrative to potential networks and streaming bidders. To add intrigue to the tournament, each of the 30 NBA teams has a distinct court design and jersey for games. The NBA’s strategy behind the colorful court designs was to attract attention — even if some of the reaction to the courts has been negative. The NBA in-season tournament is the latest example of sports leagues adapting to try to add excitment in an increasingly competitive media environment.

☆ What Michael Jordan Learned From Detroit’s Goons

It’s human nature. When a beautiful thing appears in the world, someone will always try to crush it. That’s what happened when Michael Jordan arrived in the NBA in 1984 to play for the Chicago Bulls. He was a great athlete, of course, a dynamic playmaker and scorer and team leader, but he was also beautiful. It’s less the individual records we remember than the style: the way he back-pedaled after releasing a jumper, how he turned to the opponent’s bench with raised hands (a gesture as old as philosophy), how he hung in the air a moment longer than necessary, as if to demonstrate the true nature of his gift, which was gossamer grace.
