I\u2019m also curious about their misstep in choosing Ja Morant a few years ago and how the league\u2019s popularity might be affected once &quot;Inside the NBA&quot; goes off the air.<\/p>\n<p>If you have more examples or comments on the ones I\u2019ve listed, I\u2019d love to hear them!<\/p>\n<p>Thank you!!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON --> &#032; submitted by &#032; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/bakenzo\"> \/u\/bakenzo <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.esquire.com\/uk\/style\/g43495247\/air-jordans\/\">[link]<\/a><\/span> &#032; <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/sports\/comments\/1ecnjv5\/most_pioneering_moves_by_sports_organizations_to\/\">[comments]<\/a><\/span> <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Hey everyone!
