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

Style of play is ass



Steph is Steph..he draws because he’s the originator of that style ..From Davidson to the league that’s him and ppl associate it wit him.


ppl is not trying to see Anfernee Simons,Norm Powell , and Payton Pritchard with the greenest lights of all time .

Coby White looked off Vucevic so egregiously to put up some bullshyt I almost had a stroke .
-

The stars are wack because that style of play is wack…these young nikkas have all the bounce and flash in the world ..but they putting up bullshyt side step threes from 35 feet…that is ass

Then a nikka wil say some shyt like “well if he shoote 34% from three it’s a good shot”


nikka plz

Bring back defense.
The End

This is why playoffs usually have a higher viewership. Higher defensive intensity

Make defense great again

Nobody watches Tv anymore and you got to have like 4 different streaming services to watch all the games it's so stupid


There's way more things entertainment wise to do then many years ago. When I was a kid I watched the NBA all the time, these new kids be watching Kai Cenet from the moment they come home from school to the time they go to school again the next day.

it ain't stupid if you're a streaming service whose very survival is reliant upon exclusivity and they know y'all ain't paying for cable, so they're gonna find another way to get to your pockets.

It's the life people chose.

because it is.

as for not wanting other players to have that kind of green light, either the league is overflowing with talent or it's not. You got people crying about the need for expansion yet when expansion level players shoot, y'all hate that too.

I read an article today suggesting that the dunk should be worth 3 points to offset all the three point shooting which is crazy, but then the article also points out that teams simply don't shoot if it's inside the 2 point line and outside the paint. There's no going back to them days of drawing up plays for a 20 footer.

 

[Koli_Kat]

There's a reason why the dunk contest drew more eyes than the three point contest.

That's all imma say

 

[Recca Gatsby]

Y'all sound like it would be beneficial if there was no league at all the way y'all keep bringing this up

45% less viewership but they signing the largest tv deals they ever have

Players signing some of the largest guaranteed contracts in sports history but viewership is down. NBA max and supermax contracts look like European soccer contracts now.

Meanwhile the nfl viewership is through the roof but the best running backs in the league can't make 12 million a year

 

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

TV ratings are pretty much down everywhere, especially for a product that spans as long as the NBA does.

The NBA has been fighting a battle to restrict laws on illegal streaming for a minute now.

Young people don't watch shyt on cable anymore. It's really as simple as that. Even when they are digesting NBA content, illegally, they're less likely to sit down for hours on end and watch a whole game, when they could be consuming other entertainment instead and then only tracking what they believe is relevant like highlights.

The major problem with your argument is that it completely ignores the fact that sports was supposed to be DVR and immune from legal streams and cord cutting. It's the exact reason why sports leagues have been able to argue for a bigger piece of pie compared to everyone else.

If what you're saying is true, then how can the NBA justify their asking prices going forward?

This forum becoming basketball boomers is incredible.

 

[homiedontplaydat]

The product just plain sucks

These no personality having ass stat machines who sit out every other game just ain't it

Ain't no real rivalries
Ain't no real defense
The current batch of "super stars" are old in the tooth

I just don't see whose carrying the torch going forward. Wemby is AIGHT but I don't know if he has the energy to carry the league.

Everyone says that, yet the biggest ratings draw is Steph Curry of all people...

Steph shooting three pointers is a draw. Not sure Tyler Herro and every other c-list star that gets up ten threes a game are draws.
