      Nissan GTR your analogy is flawed. They don’t even talk about the Bucks who are currently sitting on top of the league with the best record. It’s easy to say the Lakers and Clippers get the best ratings, but you forget that these sports networks give them a narrative and storylines. They turned LA media into a giant sports soap opera so people tune in for the latest details like a tv show. If they talked about Milwaukee, Miami, Houston, Philly, etc the same as the LA teams then more people would tune in. Casual fans don’t even know the details of Miami Heat and it’s players, they just see the record. Most fans don’t know who Kendrick Nunn is. They don’t know who Bam Adebayo is.
      Literally most of the top 10 teams have better stories than the Lakers and Clippers.

Remember last year in the playoffs vs the Raptors he carried them to 7 games vs Toronto look at the stats he was carrying. He goes to the year makes them a contender when everyone thought they’d be middle of the pack. They thought the sixers were gonna be one of the top teams in the NBA.

    Jimmy is so underrated because of his USAGE % on offense. For a guy of his caliber, he never ball hog it's always team first. If only he took 20 shots a night then of course he'll average 30 and of course he'll be all first team NBA. But him being so unselfish as a player who always has the green light is why our youngins are so confident

He is not the main story for miami, he is a great addition but this miami heat team is good because of player development ,the new rookies , the coaching and culture , and dragic who always gets overlooked.
    Ps. Not hating on him ,he is a great player but he is not the reason we have 31 wins , he is just one of many
