As a whole, the NBA has lost around 45% of its viewership since 2012.

Blocks per game

2024: 5.3

1991: 5.1
1992: 5.3
1993: 5.2
1994: 5.2
1995: 5.2
1996: 5:1
1997: 4.9
1998: 5.1

And you wonder why nobody respects the ‘90s anymore.

He’ll ignore this or Juelz.

RIM PROTECTION ≠ SHOTS BLOCKED

ROY HIBBERT AVERAGED 1.7 BLOCKS
FOR HIS CAREER BUT HE WAS
THE QUINTESSENTIAL RIM PROTECTOR.

JJ RACKS UP BLOCKS
BUT IS AN AVERAGE RIM PROTECTOR AT BEST.

The casual fan hasn’t stopped consuming the game they just do it differently.

The attention span to watch a 48 minute basketball with play stoppages multiple times a week isn’t there and neither is the access.

They still consume the game through social media hot takes, sports gambling, YouTube compilations of all the baskets in the game.

We’re in an era with lack of attention span and people in here are basically deliberately trying to slow the game down. How does that bode well?

why doesn’t football have this problem?

Off top

JJJ
Wembanyama
Robinson
Kessler
Embiid
AD
Gobert
Porzingis
Dray
Lopez
Chet
Gafford
Rob Will
Hartenstein

Gobert, AD and Embiid actually protect the rim

 

[HandyWithTheSteel]

not surprised the product is buns .
IMA old head and I know so many old heads that have walked away from the game.
I'll watch the playoffs but youd have to pay me to watch a regular season game ..
I was hardcore from 95-2020 ( watched everything i could )and the game is just boring and a bad product to me.

Interesting that old heads didn’t walk away from the game until Lebron passed MJ.

Dame can’t carry the ratings?

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

What demographic is streaming games? And do they not stream other sporting events?

The younger generation.

Yes, they stream other sporting events.

This thread has already been debunked. More folks follow/watch the NBA than ever before. This thread is no more than misinformation.

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

It's crazy- you provided substantial facts and people are still overlooking it and taking the OP as true

Par for the course on this board.

You provide facts but folks don't wanna listen because they want to believe in their own bullshyt instead. You can't reason with cats who're unreasonable.



It's why we've got confused negroes reading the blatant lie of the thread title and thinking it must be true.

And Dennis Rodman racks up rebounds but Draymond is a better rebounder.

See how easy that is?

WAS A BETTER SHOT BLOCKER THAN JJJ.

ARE YOU SLOW?

In the public’s mind that hasn’t happened

 

[Torrential]

These cock suckas ain’t got any arguments . More possessions means more blocks . If you extrapolate the pace for todays game obviously the 90s centers would average more blocks

You do realize the league Bron & Kobe inherited shares more similarities to the 90s than what’s being played now right?
