That shit looked straight up like 2k. ESPN crossed the uncanny valley with that one.
In the professional sports media business they call that a, “Big Oof”.
Espn layoffs are real, yo.
Isn't it obvious they are trying to be hip and young and make a meme? Honestly, this is pretty hilarious.
Yeah everyone in this thread had a preconceived idea because of the title of the post, so they came with pitch forks ready before even watching the clip. It's obvious they are trying to meme, apparently going over everyone's heads.
Why are you guys getting downvoted? You're right.
J Cole even sampled this interview in an song he released 2 years ago. Punchin’ the clock
That’s what I came here to say. Didn’t even need to watch the video to know which quote they used. This shit went viral and, like you said, was literally used in a J Cole song! ESPN fucking sucks lol
What the fuck.
I feel like normally Reddit and this sub overreacts to media, but this is absolutely too far if this really aired on ESPN.
End ESPN!!!
Come on Iger, sell them off to the funny farm!!!
This is a gentle reminder to delete the fuck outta Twitter, the whole website is ass and not just because of Elon it’s been that way for at least 8 years
Fuckin’ facts. There were two things that I did that were instrumental in getting my depression under control: 150mg Effexor daily & deleting twitter.
How the hell can you possibly pin this on Twitter??!!
If ESPN played this on the actual sportscenter show people would have absolutely no idea and assume it was normal. The reason we are discussing it is because someone ON TWITTER pointed it out and shared it.
What are you talking about? Twitter didn't make ESPN post this. They fact checked the tweet with a community note.
Such a garbage network
Think they are using AI for this? Maybe that's why it wasnt vetted?
If you know that ESPN is doing this about thing that absolutely do not matter...
Just imagine what news outlets are doing with stories and footage that DO matter.
It’s obviously edited shit not a big deal, it’s just like Bleacher Report edits or Jersey edits. You can clearly tell he’s in the bubble, the Bucks have never had a uniform with nothing on the shorts, and it’s an old soundbite that’s literally been used in a J Cole song. Get over it
What the hell is this?!
Like why even do this? Get an interview!!!
ESPN’s journalistic integrity is garbage. They have none.
turning more and more into The Bachelor each year
How did people fall for it and espn get away with it when the Bucks clearly don’t have the NBA logo at center court on their home floor and didn’t wear those same jerseys for their first game
Tony is on it lol
I'm so fucking confused why and how this was done. I had to look these up because I was so dumbfounded:
-
The Bucks don't have an NBA logo at center court.
-
The Bucks don't have a logo at their FT line.
-
The painted area in their arena is green with white lines, not empty with black lines.
-
The Bucks worse green jerseys that said "Milwaukee," not black ones that say "Bucks."
-
The away jersey they DID put in doesn't have the graphics on the sides like it's supposed to.
-
You can still see the edges of the Blazers' red on the sleeves.
-
They bothered to swap the right logos (Jumpman and Motorola) onto the jersy, even though they didn't bother to get the paint, center logo, jersey color, jersey graphics, legging color, and more wrong.
I can't even begin to understand what the fuck the purpose of this is or why they'd do such a bad job with it. Like, is it a test of the Mandela Effect? You have him in a MFing AWAY JERSEY THAT ISN'T RIGHT and it's a home game.
World wide leader in bullshit at it again.
WTF lol
ESPN is so weird
Why would they do this? Did they think nobody would notice?
What’s next? This can only get weirder.
ESPN is just gonna make a tons of lies and fake interviews with AI wont it ?? League should step in this is ridiculous
Super not fooling anyone. It’s also the intro to a j Cole song from a few years ago. I’ve heard it one hundred times
Maybe it was supposed to be a joke?
Sports media has been dead for awhile now. Used to love the ESPN and Bleacher Report around 2015-16 but I had to get them off my social media, it’s too much now.
I think they think they made a meme
