The ratings are dropping.. look them up yourself
As a whole, the NBA has lost around 45% of its viewership since 2012.

Those are TV ratings. They don't mean shyt.
I've already provided irrefutable proof in this thread there's more people following the NBA than ever.

NBA ratings deep-dive: Where does the league stand?
Much has been written about NBA ratings the past few years, but where does the league truly stand? This deep dive seeks to answer.

We have all the data. When it's back on NBC, during the week, the ratings will have a 50-100% increase on viewership

Do you even understand how folks, especially younger generations, consume hoops now?
Regardless of that, this is the viewership/following in this country -
The percentage of people who're fans of the NBA has increased; the percentage of people playing hoops has increased.30% of Americans are fans of the NBA, up from 27% in 2019, a new report finds.

Between 2016 and 2023, the number of basketball participants in the U.S. increased by 33 percent (U.S. Americans who played basketball 2023 | Statista)
And that's before we take into account the rest of the world where the viewership/following has increased tenfold. Countries that previously didn't have access to games, now do. Countries that previously had no resources to play hoops (gateway to following the NBA), now do. The game has been ever-expanding since 2012.
Cats in here complaining about how the game isn't what it was in the 80s or 90s, as if it means anything. Young kids, teenagers and young adults have absolutely no concept of those eras, so it's not like they can reminisce about the good ole times when there wasn't 3-pt shooting.
Now let's compare social media view count for NBA clips on all the platforms and channels and see if any other sport compares
They already got the new TV deal, so they don't care anyway.

8-week intense fitness boot camp and training camp in August and September, NBA Cup in October, Fall break in November, and then start a shortened season on Christmas Day. I think this would reduce star injuries we’re seeing and help boost ratings.

it’s short sighted tho. Next TV deal may not be as lucrative. There are no viewership trends that point to a world where people are sitting down and watching a full 82 game season.
Load mgmt ain’t going nowhere as long as the regular season is irrelevant… which is fixed with less games.

Make NBA league pass cheaper or put it on Netflix and watch viewership skyrocket
but overall, the focus on paint points or threes analytics has ruined basketball aesthetically.
I like guys like Melo who have a early 2000s play style but still modern.
