No one is an expert in basketball there a lot knowledgeable people in and out of the game. You always learning in the game that's by watching and listening. Am I knowledge about the game sure but I also learn something new all the time about the game. I been player a coach and I referee. But when I doing those 3 thing I was learning to make myself better at them. Everyone can see the same play but have 10 different opinion on that play does that make them 10 different opinion incorrect no doesn't due everyone looks at a different way. But instead getting in bitch session by someone opinion on something in here you might to ask there person why did you see that way and the reason why see your way he'll you both might be right even see different.

It's what I like to call the difference between talking with people or talking at people.....this place tends to have small groups that talk at each other more than with each other...I enjoy differing opinions when there's humor and respect involved. Learn a lot...as a fan, anybody saying we suck everyday for years must not be that informed or they'd be a fan of a team they didn't think sucked. Dealing with losses is also part of having a BBIQ..

Can only people who have played in the league be allowed to have expert opinions?

Thats what I'm asking. I don't think you have to be an expert of the game to make it in the game obviously. Look at all the guys who made it on pure athletisism. That's why I asked this question. Very curious about how this all works.
 
I have huge respect for recording engineers after trying to do it myself for many decades...it's hard to coach yourself the way a third party might be able to...that recording engineer can hear things I live with everytime I sing or play and tell me where signals are muddying up the mix. Many of the great coaches were failed players. Many great players are failed coaches....I've recorded hundreds of songs and still don't like the vocal or bass mixes on any of them....one day I'll buck up and hire an engineer to do it right. I know how to put parts together already but to give them dynamics...that's a skill. I've worked on other people's recordings with an engineer in the booth and what a difference.

I have ginormous respect fir recording engineers.
My band is currently recording our first album and we are trying to engineer/produce it ourselves.
Started recordings in August, hoping to be done by Christmas.
And we will...Christmas of 2020!

Are you morning drinking again sir?
 
Unlike most of you losers, I was on a championship team.

In 9th grade. In PE class. 3 on 3. In the 'fat, handicapped, and/or uncoordinated kids' league.

But still, a champion. So I know the game.

Cool! EQ is the best effect there is in music recording in my book...if I had one stomp box for my strat it'd be a 5 band EQ...I'd actually like to use two of them for different tones. My next project I'm going to mike my acoustic in stereo instead of using the Piezo pickup...just use the line out for live gigs

We're discovering all the ramifications if compression, and mixing drums front and center..also, the occasional slapback double-tracking lead vocal or guitar solos.
Seems a Masters from MIT is needed.
Once upon a time I told my son if you wanna be a professional athelete, pick up a tennis racket or golf club,.
Today, I would say if you wanna get into music, learn to be am engineer. There's decent money if you're good at it.
Peace.

Once a person realizes life (and basketball) is not black or white, it's grey...then you become an expert.
More wisdom and patience, less emotion.
Not much of that in here.

Emotion has nothing to do with knowledge level other than the way that knowledge is presented.

Gonna have to "agree to disagree" on this one.
Shocking.

Popovich is an extremely angry individual both with his players, refs, and media. Does that mean he can't be an expert on basketball?

BTW, I'm trying to have a civil discussion with you, no need to call a disagreement "shocking."

My musical mentors always said, you can either play in the clubs or you can own the clubs.....I've discovered a Jamaican trick for recording bass that I want to try out...they put the speaker against the wall instead of facing the room..then mike the wall...gets a huge sound. Also discovered a bit of miking acoustic guitars with two mikes ..positioning is everything for those..vocals to me require a microphone that costs more than my truck....I've used those orchestral mikes in the studio playing percussion on Taiwanese pop records and you can make a small hand drum stand up next to a full drum kit...microphones are the place to put your money....I only have a blue ring SM57 and a blue ring SM58 plus an old Shure unisphere analogue mike from the 60s that has a volume control on it...fun mike to run through a delay. I also have a Shure headset mike that you need to boost the hell out of to get a good sound from

I once had an art professor try to explain the genius of a painting that had the top half solid light blue and the bottom half solid dark blue with a purple line dividing the halves....I like to think I've studied quite a bit of art but this "professor" was full of shit.....it wasn't great art....it was house painting. He had the masters degree though.

Wait a minute. That was my painting????
 
I know a guy in business who looks for trends. Once he finds one - like last year it was cryptocurrency and Bitcoin - he learns it, creates some product around it, and proclaims himself the "expert". He then gets paid tons for his supposed expertise. Last year he launched a crypto podcast and it's uber successful. I've seen him do this a few times in different subjects.

So the lesson is, call yourself an expert and other people will often follow suit.

I'm going to agree with @Wade Garrett on this one; separate from affecting how ones existing knowledge is presented, emotion can also easily color perception, and thereby limit or restrict acquisition of further knowledge and understanding. Dispassionate analysis from disinterested parties is generally more reliable than analysis coming from those with an emotional investment, all other things being equal.
 
I don’t think there’s such a thing as a “basketball expert.” Expert implies you know everything there is to know. There’s always something to learn, as the game is constantly evolving. I think any coach, player, or executive would tell you the same. So if they wouldn’t consider themselves “experts” I don’t see why anyone else would either.
 
If I were to point out one guy who can talk basketball more in depth than anybody I've heard talk about the game it's Hubie Brown but man...I can only take so much at a time during a game....he's known as one of the great teachers the game has ever had though outside of his tv gig
