We can’t keep calling it the In-Season Tournament forever and giving it an actual name helps legitimise it

Call it the NBA Cup or something, saying In-Season Tournament every time is too long

We can call it Dave.

[–] Careless-Degree@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Gotta be named after a player who was only good in the regular season.

How about... Roger? No. William.

Presenting the “WHITE CLAW NBA CUP ON BBC”

I wanted the Commissioner's Cup and I can't believe they didn't go for that considering how hard Silver was driving things.

[–] WestleyThe@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I think “Silver Cup” makes the most since after Adam and it’s the second championship of the year

Kia Nba cup.

[–] jacobythefirst@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

First team to win it has it named after their coach

Sierra Mist Ruby Splash Cup

Nba winter cup, make it Christmas themed, wear Christmas unis only for tournament games, push it back more into December and play the finals as the last game on Christmas Day. Associating anything with a holiday helps

Google In-season tournament presented by Youtube

Lakers win the first version. In a few years post-LeBron retirement it's the LeBron James cup. Done.

[–] AccomplishedBake8351@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

If lebron/lakers win and he gets IST-MVP I expect that award at least to be called the “lebron James IST MVP”. He’s a huge figure and won’t have an award named after him after all the rebranding last year

it sounds like a disease or a government agency

[–] SaltyCopy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

draftkings cup.

[–] SeniorJerk-Alert@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Kobe cup would have made people care. They will sell it to the next ftx.

[–] maika3@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

It's going to be the NBA Cup, with the trophy actually called the David Stern Cup, trust me.

[–] trevortins@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Mvp of the first cup should have the tournament named after them. Will be called Jokic cup.

[–] YogurtResponsible785@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The “In Season Tournament” practice sweats really send me

[–] messyartshooter@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

the Stockton Cup, The Barkly Cup, The Baylor Cup

[–] tewmtoo@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Christmas Cup.

[–] Rubberbabeh@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

They can't name it yet. They need the next TV deal to go through and so buyer gets to name it after their network.

[–] whiiskio@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Welcome to the 2024 NBA Cup presented by Wells Fargo

Only reason it doesn’t have a sponsor title yet is the corporations are still bidding lol

[–] ohgood@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Don’t worry, it’ll be the FanDuel Parlay-a-Day Tournament brought to you by Walgreens soon enough

[–] Teffry@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The "Want a sprite cranberry" tourney

The Slippery Mid-Season Spectacular!

[–] Greeneyes_65@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

I just call it tourney

[–] YoungCanadian@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The Silver Cup (for Adam) would be a fire name but he wouldn't do that himself.

[–] beatrailblazer@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

World Renowned In-Season Tournament

WRIST

[–] wilkinsk@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

It's going to become the taco bell cup or mountain dew cup or something.

Just give it time, a sponsor will pervert it. Just look at the "Developmental" league.

NBA script: they want Lakers to win so they can all it the King James Cup

[–] Imzocrazy@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Cam we call it the “please get rid of it, this thing is pointless” cup?

[–] lotrtt824@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Call it the 500k cup

[–] brother2wolfman@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

The games with floors so appalling that people will turn off the game cup
