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

Colin now trying to appeal to the maga crowd :mjpls:

just few months ago he went on huge rant about how Trump and republicans are trying to destroy america
Yea was about to say, wasn't expecting this thread to be about something he said.

I always knew Cowherd as a USC dikk rider and a guy with terrible football takes, like the worst.

Is viewership really down 48 percent? I need some legit proof other than to take the word of a racist cac site that once said "go woke go broke" in regard to the NBA.
It’s down from peak villain era LeBron James and the Heatles but it’s been consistent for over 20years

Anthony Edwards has a national TV campaign right now. I seen his commercials on non nba broadcasts.

What you are saying is you dont watch much cable and broadcast TV which is @Gil Scott-Heroin ’s point.
I have started to see his stiff this year but I dunno remember when penny/larry johnson/barkley/rodman/shaq/kobe and of course Jordan were all having ad runs

I mean mad white people go to Hornets games even though they suck so it can’t be whats in the op. I just know I can’t stand the current product myself also it’s not easily accessible… hopefully that’ll change soon with the nba going to nbc. Networks need to have basketball games competing on networks again like how the nfl does it. People aren’t signing up for cable anymore and now you have people frowning on streaming, especially with shyt like when Netflix tried to stream that Tyson-Paul fight. I know people feel like streaming is best, but there are mad people out here that don’t have it. The nba need to do what they can to reach everybody that they can.

Okay after reading this people need to stfu. Mfs had me believing the NBA was averaging 4 and 5 million viewers a year in the regular season back in the old days. This adds context to everything.

I dunno it seems when I was a kid multiple players had funny commercials/chracters for the last 20 years the focus had been basically on one player constantly and that player is bod on his last leg

Basically promote and build your young stars run it like an actual damn business Adam
Jordan is still a regular part of the basketball convo. His commercials and coverage dwarfed everybody in his time. Between Kobe, Shaq, Steph, Wade, now Ant and Ja there has been plenty of focus elsewhere. Bron just aint Jordan on or off the court and fans aint what they used to be either.

And to OPs point, as this election cycle showed MAGA and "real nikkas" aint too far apart. As @NYC Rebel says, racism aint a deal breaker for some of these dudes.
