The NBA is a widely covered league that is watched across many countries worldwide. The massive popularity of the league is greatly dependent on the superstars who entice the crowds with their outstanding performances. However, sometimes the media mindset of covering what sells leads to many talents not getting the recognition they deserve. Recently, the media’s hypocrisy towards stars like Zion Williamson, Luka Doncic, and Jordan Poole was exposed in a hilarious parody video posted on Twitter. Moreover, the parody with over 3.5 million views on Twitter has triggered some hilarious reactions from fans regarding the controversial media scenarios in the league.

YouTube entertainment group RDCworld’s member Mark Phillips recently uploaded a parody on Twitter. The video depicts the controversial norms followed by media organizations in the NBA, displaying preference to talk about certain superstars over others based on their popularity and not their performance. The video laid out many common ‘hypocritical’ media approaches around certain rising stars in the league.

Hysterical Parody gives insight into media favoritism

The caption of a recently posted parody by Mark Phillips read, “How the media be covering certain NBA players.” In the video, RDCworld members pretend to be journalists working in media companies covering the highlights of the happenings in the NBA and interviewing players after their impressive performances.

In the first instance, the media producer ignores a 50-point performance from Oklahoma City Thunder’s Shai-Gilgeous-Alexander and decides to go through with the highlights of a 10-point game from Zion Williamson. The video also sheds light on the lack of recognition in the media for the Miami Heat and on the other hand, Charlotte Hornets youngster LaMelo Ball‘s popularity in the media.

In the second instance, while interviewing on-screen Damian Lillard after a 50-point game, Luka Doncic walks up and the reporters tend to focus on his 50-point performance after ignoring the Portland Trail Blazers star.
