Fans mock ESPN's First Take segment on LeBron James: Here's why image

NBA fans are growing frustrated with the lack of quality content distributed to the public, specifically ESPN's First Take.

First Take launched in 2007 (the same year the San Antonio Spurs swept LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the NBA Finals) and has amassed more than 1,800 episodes.

The media grilled a recent segment on the show titled, 'LeBron unfollows Big Perk on social media.' The discussion lasted multiple minutes, during which Kendrick Perkins took multiple jabs at James while Stephen A. Smith and Shannon Sharpe listened.

Regardless of the content level produced by the major television networks, most are putting their attention on the NBA Finals, where the Boston Celtics lead the Dallas Mavericks 2-0.
